In response to the Joint announcement of the three ministries (Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport), who are in the opening of the Queen Olgaproceeded the Municipality of Athens.
Among other things he says that ‘5 years ago, Mr. Bakoyannis in the context of the devastating “Great Walk”, closed Vasilissis Olga with allegedly invoking Covid“And notes that ”The Municipality of Athens will not go back»
In detail the answer:
«Three ministries are united to defend the loser of the elections, Mr Bakoyannis, at the expense of the citizens.
In an unprecedented practice they ignore the will of the citizens and the wider majority of the Athens City Council.
5 years ago, Mr. Bakoyannis, in the context of the devastating “Great Walk”, closed Vasilissis Olga by allegedly invoking Covid. He designed his conversion into a “private” road to users of the tennis court in the area and for the cafés of the Zappeion.
Then no minister spoke.
Today they are representing the “guardians of the law” to block the Municipality of Athens.
We remind them that Vas. Olga belongs to the citizens and not to political expediency.
The Municipality of Athens will not go back.
By every institutional medium we will do everything we need to defend the democratic demand of the citizens for a city open, fair and sustainable.
We call on all parties and Members of Athens to take a clear position. The right to the city is a matter of democracy».
