Deputy Mayor Resigns in Agrinio Amid Scandals Over OPKEPE and Disability Benefits

The deputy mayor of Agrinio, Yiannis Farmakis, announced his resignation from administrative duties through a statement sent to local media on Sunday evening (15/6/25). The brief declaration, only three lines long, emphasizes that ‘the truth will prevail,’ stating he resigns with confidence in justice and looking into the eyes of every fellow citizen in Agrinio. This move reportedly does not relate to the ongoing OPKEPE scandal, according to AgrinioNews. However, it comes amid intense rumors involving an unspecified municipal factor. Sources within the municipal authority describe Farmakis’ decision as ‘a brave choice.’ It remains unclear whether the resignation pertains solely to his role as deputy mayor (Director of Environment and Greenery) or also includes his position as municipal councilor, which would then be filled by the first alternate, K. Houliares.
