Gioulekas to OT.gr – The Greeks of the north are waiting to see action

“Northern Greeks have heard much. That is why they are waiting to see action. We expect specific commitments and timetables from the Prime Minister’s speech “. This was stated by Mr. Costas Gioulekas, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the Parliament, MP of New Democracy for the first district of ‘Thessaloniki, speaking at the stand of the OT.gr at the Thessaloniki International Fair.

“The distrust of Thessaloniki lies in the fact that it heard a lot and saw a little,” he stressed, citing as an example the Thessaloniki metro, which, as he said, was to be built in 2012, in order to celebrate a century after the city’s liberation.

Thessaloniki can become a transit center. It is the second largest port after Piraeus, noted Mr. Gioulekas, adding that “you can not do this without a good freight railway.”
