“We are struggling to solve the problem you created, Mr. Bakoyannis: Definitive studies without money”, said the Mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas, to the Municipal Council for the Amateur Panathinaikos.

Among others, Mr. Dimos noted that: “In May 2023, the definitive study of the amateur field was presented after Vaios and Kladons. Mr. was present. Ganos, Mr. Bakoyannis, Mr. Malakates and Mr. Kurtis from Decathlon. When someone presents a definitive study, it is obvious that they know its cost, that it is already known. With the final study, one can go to urban planning and get a building permit. So there was a definitive study. So how much does the stadium cost? The letter came to us in April 2024, about a year later, from AEP Eleonas (i.e. the banks). We are struggling to solve the problem you created, Mr. Bakoyannis. Definitive studies without money…However, when there are definitive studies without cost and we also ask for the change, I think it is insulting to everyone”.

In detail, the position of Mr. Duke:

In May 2023, after Vaios and Kladons, the definitive study of the amateur field was presented. Mr. was present. Ganos, Mr. Bakoyannis, Mr. Malakates and Mr. Kurtis from Decathlon. When someone presents a definitive study, it is obvious that they know its cost, that it is already known. With the final study, one can go to urban planning and get a building permit.

So there was a definitive study. So how much does the stadium cost? The letter came to us in April 2024, about a year later, from AEP Eleonas (i.e. the banks).

We are struggling to solve the problem you created, Mr. Bakoyannis. Definitive studies without money. The letter says, among other things, that for a number of reasons, excesses, etc. the amateur pitch has reached the unthinkable amount of 24 million plus VAT, against 10 million plus VAT of the original budget.

He even claims that these constitute, self-evidently, a complete change and an impermissible increase.

But when he presented the study, the bank knew that the project was worth 24 million. How after a year and after the Mayor has changed, he sends a letter and talks about an impermissible increase?

Secondly, how is it possible to present a definitive study and be accepted by you Mr. Bakoyannis at no cost? Then why did you accept her? When he says that we originally budgeted 10 million, then it’s 24 and we don’t know how the gap will be filled? Then why did we accept her?

How was a definitive study accepted without securing its funding from the AEP Eleonas?

I propose that we call here to a Municipal Council, all those involved who presented the final study together with Mr. Bakoyannis and explain to us how it is possible to present it, without showing the cost. It is unprecedented. At the next or the next Municipal Council, let’s invite them here to explain it to us.

Mr. Bakoyannis, the problem was created by you, because you told us that everything is ready. And there was nothing ready, not even the funding. And yet we put up a great fight. The problem was created by you. Because you then accepted a definitive study without having the cost covered.

We are making a very big fight about it, and everyone knows it. We are discussing this at the highest level, and we are trying to find a solution on how exactly this funding gap will be filled.

Of course, AEP Eleonas should assume its responsibilities. However, when there are definitive studies at no cost and we ask for the change, I think it is insulting to everyone.

Response of “ATHENA PSILA” faction to Haris Doukas: The Mayor was caught with the goat on his back

“The mayor was caught with the goat on his back and, according to his favorite tactics, he is trying to disorientate, casting anathema on our faction, which not only envisioned, but also put the great dream of Athens and Panathinaikos on track”, replies the faction “ATHENA PSILA” of Kostas Bakoyannis to the Mayor of Athens Haris Doukas.

“Since April, Mr. Doukas has been fooling around, hiding critical information, and now, a year later, he has discovered that it is our fault -again! Mr. Duke, release the mail, explain to the world why you’ve been fooling around for so long, and above all, finally tell us what your plan is. The Double Regeneration must be done! But to do it, you have to get serious and stop the impression games”, concludes the extension in its answer.
