If anything emerged characteristically from the recent answer of Mr.. Malouta is the arrogance that characterizes him and the complete absence of contact with reality.
He insists that he can still be believed, when it is now widely accepted that the level of credibility of himself and his municipal authority is now at an all-time low.
The Mayor claims that he is dealing with the future and the problems of the place, Nevertheless, in the recent statement before the Prime Minister, instead of highlighting the many and important problems that the process presents for the preparation of the fair transition of the region, chose to commend the Prime Minister for his initiatives.
Is this the role of the Mayor of Kozani?; The applause and not the claimant;
Mr.. Maloutas invokes the concession of their area 100 acres of OSE in the Municipality for 99 years against the symbolic amount of 10.000 about a year, but a few days ago claimed that the inclusion of the Municipality on 100 Climate-neutral cities will generate funding 700.000.000 million euros by 2030.
Expediency or ignorance; Which of the two is true is unacceptable and simply undermines a confessed positive effort.
Mr.. Maloutas talks about culture, when here and 2,5 For years, the position of the Municipality in culture has been ignored, without a strong presence in the cultural events and with the cultural structures of the Municipality degenerating.
When will we see the development perspective of our library unfold, of which we have heard so much from Mr.. Malouta in previous years;
Mr.. Maloutas supports his choice to support RES investments, Of course, we are not the ones who have to be the first to convince him of his intentions, but the members of his faction, who gradually give up support in his narrative.
His choice would have had some credibility if it had not been preceded by the revelations about the involvement of Municipal Authority executives in suspicious investments together with businessmen who benefit from the decisions of the collective bodies of the Municipality..
We read in the announcement on the identity issues of the Municipality, although the only thing we have seen these two years is the change of the Municipality's logo, and in fact without prior decision of the Municipal Council. A logo similar to that of the Mayor's faction is now used, an element that demonstrates the ownership perception that distinguishes those who chose it.
In the previous Municipal period 2014 – 2019, realizing the special weight that the Municipality of Kozani has, we decided that it should play a leading role in the issues of Fair Transition. So, we defined the developments, We formed alliances on our own initiative inside and outside our region, we played a leading role in claiming additional resources for the region, we put our region on the horizon of the European Commission, We formed collaborations with Municipalities and bodies from all over Europe, we submitted proposals for the smooth transition of our region.
We dared, when others chose the easy path of populism, to warn of what is to come and to demand concrete measures and actions for the protection of the region.
Just to remind you that this attitude of ours was characterized as ‘dissonance’!
Unfortunately, however, Mr.. Maloutas with mentalities of another era, has led with his choices the Municipality of Kozani, from a shaper of developments to an unreliable observer.
