Answer of the president of the Cultural Center I.E. Messolonghi Constantine Giannopoulos for the programme “Sports for all”

On the occasion of communication of the Municipal Faction “Society” for the approval of participation of the Municipality of Sacred Town of Messolonghi in the program”Sports for all”, the President of the Cultural Centre Konstantinos Giannopoulos made the following statement :
“I read with surprise the announcement of the Municipal Faction “Society in Front of” the program “Sports for all”. I really don’t understand the feasibility of the communication. The author of the text, he is speaking as a government representative and misinforms the world that the programs are free. In the government GAZETTE issue B’ number 2863 and date 8-9-2016 and at the beginning of this look, the elements that took account of the ministers for decision. Item number 18 says that the cost of the expenditure which will occur, will be covered by the price (low, but real), from the proceeds that will arise from the Residents.
To inform you, the Citizens that this is a process that the Cultural Centre is closely monitoring, to reporting and the requests for several months. So, the Spiritual Centre had the floor on principle, I don’t take him now as our “inform” and again the author of the communication.
And it’s really fortunate that approved the participation of our Municipality in the program. Now, if this adoption is a result of political interference that I don’t know. In any case, I will thank the C.C.A. Sport for approval and the Board of the Cultural Center that embraced my proposal to attempt to join the program.
In closing, to say that I do not know who wrote the statement above but it needs caution and restraint when we inform the public opinion”.
