We talked about the situation in the country after the May 21 elections and ahead of the June 25 elections. The ballot box is empty and fellow citizens must attend the new electoral process en masse to emphatically confirm the result of the first one, as this is the only way the upward trajectory of the country can continue.
We discussed the possibilities that exist in order for the young people of Evrytania to stay in their place through the development of the tourist activity, but also the utilization of the forest wealth, always respecting the environment.

The only clear governance proposal goes through the safe self-sufficient Government of the New Democracy with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis so that the Greeks in the large urban centers and our Region continue to march on the path of advancement, so that the self-sufficient Greece of next day to star”.

At the same time, however, the demographic problem and the flight of young people are deeply troubling. During our tour of the villages of the Municipality of Agrafon, we talked with the residents, after thanking them for the substantial support they showed to New Democracy and Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the May 21 elections, and respectfully but also fully aware of the responsibility, we asked them to confirm this positive result in the June 25 elections.
