At the end of the meeting, Socrates Famellos told the media:

“As we have already announced, SYRIZA Progressive Alliance has chosen to make a great visit to Thrace and then to Eastern Macedonia, to highlight the extreme problem of abandonment of the region by government policy, as well as the reduction of growth and social growth. functions necessary for our acrimonious region.

We have come to add strengths, along with our voice from here and from Komotini, that special development and social policy for the remote area of ​​our country is required.

There is a large demographic decline, which we have found together, there is increased poverty and unemployment in Eastern Macedonia Thrace. Despite all the good efforts that the Region and our mayors have shown that they are being made to the limits of the potential of the institutional framework, we need to add forces.

More resources are needed, in addition to managing the local NSRF, that is, the RIP, and the Public Investment Program available. Development policy is needed that will create new jobs, because unfortunately we have a negative balance of deaths – births, but also a major problem of immigration, and internal and outward.

Young people and young people do not stay in the area and we believe that a European state must first of all keep its children here.

And of course we can do something to train, since for the last five years with the Mitsotakis government the train does not come to Eastern Macedonia – Thrace. This is indicative of how much the government finally loves the Akritis. “

For his part, the Regional Governor spoke of a “visit of meaningful communication” and a “fruitful dialogue”.
