Big event of 473 big companies ‘Sinking Arrest – Rebuilding Explosion’

The event of 473 large businesses and civic associations and the think-tank Neo Orama at the MET hotel was held with great participation and success. MPs, MEPs, Mayors, businessmen and citizens attended.

In the panel, important professors and businessmen Mr. Varsakelis Nikos, Efstratiou Andreas, Boyas Christos, Naxiadis Menelaos, Nikolaidou Elli, Pavlidis Pavlos, Filippou Nikos developed the topics.

They represent citizens and businesses with sales of 50% of the GDP of PKK and employ ~11,000 workers. It is a great confederation- a gathering for investment, development and removing barriers. 2 Mayors of western Thessaloniki with 400,000 inhabitants, 8 MPs of all parties, 4 MEPs and citizens also signed the main issues.

It was proposed to the state to implement groundbreaking and legal solutions, by removing the 3-4 unfair obstacles to development and investment in Thessaloniki, which are the attraction of investments to the west, the removal of obstacles for businesses to the west, the sea front and the Thessaloniki GIS. At the same time, it was proposed to provide feasible and legal solutions to the national legislation for strategic investments and the disengagement from the internal debt of €340 billion. Otherwise the country will find it difficult to move forward!

The European Union is on the side of businesses with a special positive document for investments in Thessaloniki and especially in the west.

Businesses want the authorities on their side to support their vision for growth and investment!

It was pointed out that there is a Light of Hope! The desire is to correct the causes that sank the region, the division and discord between north-south and east-west. Apply the same legal measures and standards.

All the proposals presented are immediate and do not require government money.

The 473 large companies and the think-tank Neo Orama are perhaps the most timeless intervention marked by relegation in the region. All the points and positive proposals submitted, both by the E. Union and by the PTH, have been confirmed. The negative comments about the region’s economic decline have also been confirmed. They thanked those present who work tirelessly, continuously, with their signature and presence and fight for development.

They noted that 7 events were organized with a large participation, dozens of publications were made in newspapers and websites, interventions were made in all the consultations, in the critical bills, they were invited to the Maximos Palace and the Parliament.

They clarified that it is not a trade union, it is not a legal entity under public law, whatever that means.

Proposals submitted are prioritized for resolution, depending on maturity. Like the matter of the YA of the land-planning K. Macedonia, to adapt to the legality of the EU. It is pending with the Minister, he promised twice to solve it. It can be solved tomorrow and development and investment in western Thessaloniki can begin. The following are the publicly visible imminent dangers, which are highlighted, to prevent failures.

It was proposed to implement the downsizing with specific measures and actions. Let’s get rid of Thessaloniki. To date there are officially no signs of recovery. Only models for the next decade do not reverse the sinking. The discomfort is reflected in the common feeling.

The central finding of the current situation is given by Eurostat. For 2021, he ranked the country penultimate in purchasing GDP in the EU and apparently Macedonia last. 70% of Foreign Direct Investments are directed to Attica and only 10% to Thessaloniki.

They estimate that the State wants the removal of the causes of sinking. It’s her choice. Otherwise the responsibilities are great.

Regarding the situation of Thessaloniki today, it is clear that some are short on degradation, and others are resisting corrections. What are the illegalities, what are the communication concealment attempts, what are the interests? However, Greek and European legality prevails.

What was achieved? the horizontal and universal recognition of the problem by everyone and the PTH, the special intervention for the 473, in favor of legitimacy by the EU and the pr. Pr. Junker, the correction of the deadlocks-relocations in the development law by the Prime Minister.

What’s left? Removing the barriers that have bogged us down, implementing EU legality into law and removing unfair and illegal practices for the region.

It is unfair that different provisions apply in Athens and the EU, and different ones in Thessaloniki. This is the reality. Silence is our enemy!

For Thessaloniki and Macedonia, the issues that were developed are: 1) removal of illegal investment restrictions, without obstacles outside the limits of reservoirs, as provided for by the highest legality of the European Commission, it is ripe pending with the Minister, 2) correction of the DP of the ESA for the sea ​​front, so as to provide for western investments, such as in the east and not a semi-mud and simply a pedestrian street, 3) removal of the threatened urban wall-dam in Kalochori-Pontos, because it officially provides for destructive provisions, new contributions in money, license suspensions, 4) correction of the soon-to-be-completed GIS of Thessaloniki, from the destructive provisions of population reduction, lock-ups in production and ambivalent positions, for the abolition of the Sevezo maps!

For Greece, the following were proposed: 1) to correct the debt code that plagues the country with €340 billion of internal debt and is not progressing. The country cannot move with such a burden. Legitimacy even memoranda provide for solutions of horizontal write-offs of fines and surcharges and in other countries they put a ceiling on divestments at 2 times the market value of the loans.

2) For the law of strategic investments, to approve and make investments quickly, without bureaucratic obstacles with a competent minister and 2 general secretaries.
