Mr Mitsotakis stressed that in order to complete all the steps needed to make mystreet completely operational, all municipalities are required to cooperate with the integration of relevant data into the digital platform.

“Citizens are now able to see real -time at all times if this is happening and obviously to make a complaint if they consider that there is illegal public violation.” The prime minister underlined.
Mr Mitsotakis also said that mystreet “is an application that, as we have seen, enables any citizen but also a municipal officer, a municipal police officer, It can be seen at any time if a public space has been granted and to what extent legally or if there has been any infringement of those which, unfortunately, often see in our cities and our tourist destinations. “
The prime minister, finally, called on the citizens to download the relevant application and exploit it and concluded by saying that “our obligation is to commit, as we did in the case of Mycoast, that whenever there are complaints, they will be investigated, so that citizens will become a great deal of allies.”

Digital governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou noted: “Mystreet is doing what his title says: it arranges the road, the sidewalk or the square. It is a tool that is mainly addressed and associated with public spaces. But because we did not have a joint application for geospatial information, it also helps us with some important elements of organization of our cities. ” And he added: “We already have 1,273 complaints. It is very important that without even being associated, the application is particularly advertised, citizens and tenants want to take back the communal space. In collaboration with the Self -Government, we can do this. “

But we want a public space that must give respect especially to our most vulnerable fellow citizens who want to walk freely and safely in their city. “
The President of the Central Union of Municipalities of Greece (KEDE) Lazaros Kirizoglou He emphasized for his part: “Public space must be re -acquired by society. A mother with a stroller and two children cannot pass between the main use area and the second shop they have made on the sidewalks. From the first moment we were in favor of the application. The winner will come out of the one who will apply it, even if some are temporarily disagreeing. “
The Mayor of Thessaloniki Stelios Angeloudishead of the country’s largest municipality that has registered all leases (more than 1,200), said: “It is really an application that solves our hands, a tool that solves hands not only to the citizens who make complaints, but also to the municipal police bodies, who no longer need to go out. They can now at all times and in the least time they can see where there is and to what extent the delinquency. “
