“The message of SYRIZA is clear: We want a social state with strengthened Local Self-Government” emphasized Stefanos Kasselakis in a meeting he had with the POE-OTA board, at the party’s headquarters.
The president of SYRIZA-PS pointed out first of all that “tomorrow we have the ADEDY strike, which we support, and the anniversary of the crime of Tempe”. “We will never forget this great crime and neglect the responsibilities that the political world has towards the administration of Justice, which is necessary for the souls that were lost and all the souls that were injured.”
He stated that “Local Government workers have many demands and absolutely fair ones”. In particular, he emphasized that “first of all, they have an obvious request to meet with the responsible minister, Mrs. Kerameos” but “Mrs. Kerameos simply refuses to meet them”. Mr. Kasselakis urged the minister “to do the obvious, as she is paid by the Greek taxpayers, to meet the employees of the local government and if not to come to the Parliament to answer our MPs who will proceed with the appropriate topical question”.
He also pointed out that “SEPE must finally do its job. The accidents experienced by local government workers are many, they are unacceptable and it is up to the government to strengthen SEPE so that they can be reduced.” In addition, he emphasized that “the Voridis provision must be abolished and the development organizations must be abolished, which are the focus of corruption, entanglement and waste in our country”.
Mr. Kasselakis said that “there is a very large understaffing in the local government, close to 40%” and “we must proceed with announcing permanent jobs, and also there must be a single regulation for the heavy and unhealthy so that there are no different rules between the private sector and the State”. “Of course, the same applies to the 13th salary and 14th salary, which must be reinstated immediately” he added. He emphasized that the State must serve the citizen efficiently and that “we are on the side of the workers so that their requests can be heard”.
For his part, the president of POE-OTA, Nikos Trakas, spoke of “very big problems that exist in self-government”. “The president understood the specific issues we have, the work accidents, the very few staff we have, the mandatory appeals that we asked to be abolished by Mr. Voridis, the development companies that have been attempted by the government to proceed to the Self-Government and are the blackest thing there is,” he said. Mr. Trakas asked for the support of KO and the president of SYRIZA: “He accepted it, we asked for a question to be asked in the Parliament regarding the problems of self-government, as we also expressed our displeasure that the lady minister since July, while there are hundreds of accidents in TA, while there are hundreds of problems, has not done us the honor to tell it regarding our problems.” “As we also agreed that the 13th and 14th salary for all workers is very important, since the poverty and impoverishment of the citizens all this time has reached a bad situation for the citizens and us,” he added.
