The 33-year-old president of the central Athens fish market, Vassilis Simos, is the political representative of the party “Democrats”.

The announcement was made by the president of the party Andreas Loverdos through a video presentation. Mr. Loverdos welcomed Mr. Simos to the Democrats with very warm words, emphasizing “that Vassilis Simos knows the issues of the market, accuracy and the cost of living like very few. We are very happy to be partnered with a new and such a worthy person and I am sure that Mr. Simos will represent our party in the most direct and honest way.”

From the side of Vasilis Simos thanked the president Andreas Loverdos for choosing the position of political representative, stating: “I am especially glad that Mr. Loverdos chooses new people from the daily professions and not people from the party network. The country needs a strong representation with correct positions that present the real problems of our country. We want to be the spokesmen of the center space since the opposition seems lazy while the merry-go-round of intra-party controversies has sidelined the real problems like accuracy. I, fighting every day for 16 years, have managed in the last two years to put a stone in place to ensure good prices but also to protect prices in the territory so that consumers avoid profiteering. We bow our heads and are ready to work hard to become one with the world and be able to be together with Renew Europe in Europe. Good luck to everyone! The Democrats are here to stay!”
