Mayor of the prefecture of Heraklion, Attica
Today is an important day for Heraklion because after the great earthquake of Parnitha in 1999, in addition to enormous human losses, we also suffered enormous damage to almost all buildings. One such public building that ran into problems was the 4th Primary School in Heraklion. It has taken us so many years to be happy to announce to our fellow citizens that we are starting the construction of a new wing, and you know that this did not happen by chance. Since 2014 when I had the honor of representing our city, one of the first things my colleagues and I have done is see what we could do better with our schools and honestly until 2019 I have found closed doors everywhere. I would like to thank G. Patoulis because for the second time in this mandate the help of the Region has been decisive. In addition to funding the addition of the new wing of the Fourth Elementary School after the new 2019 earthquake when I requested the District’s assistance with a request for $1.5 million for damage repair, the District answered me positively noting that “children come first”. I would also like to thank the managing director and the president of KtYp, as well as the executives of the services. I really feel that for the first time someone has seriously tackled the problem of the 4th primary school in our city.
