Their long career in the Local Government in Geroskipou left behind projects and infrastructures that changed the lives of the citizens for the better, he added. <strong>Of course, as he said, none of everything that was done would have been possible without the support of their partners, the Municipal Group of AKEL, the municipal councilors and the school tax authorities.</strong></p> <p><strong >This, continued Mr. Stefanou, who united and made a strong group of all these people, is the vision that became a program.</strong> The vision of the development of Geroskipou at various levels, which the Left believed first and put forward to put it into practice, he added.</p> <p>He also said that in order to achieve it <strong>“he first had to convince but also fend off the forces of preservation, who, comfortable in their privileges and dominance,</strong> did not want anything to change for the benefit of the whole, the entire local society”, adding that “they they are usually limited to serving the big interests”.</p> <p>He mentioned a series of projects that were done, such as the Adult Center, beautification of the Municipality, repair and development of the road network, Multipurpose Children's Service Center, infrastructure projects on the beach front, swimming pool, sports center, Geroskipou Square   </p> <p>Reported on the stigma given by the Left to Local Self-Government, he said that <strong>“local authorities can be used as a field of struggle and creative action to solve the problems of the people.</strong> In housing, in social services, in supporting those they are in need, in the development of cultural activity, in the creation of infrastructure, in the small and large demands that everyday life puts before us”.</p> <p>In relation to the implementation of the <strong>Local Government Reform, he said that it is a big challenge.</strong></p> <p>He then referred to Nikos Palios, a candidate for Mayor of the Municipality of East Paphos who is supported from AKEL stating that he is a man already established in Local Government and his already rich resume is a guarantee that he is the best choice to be put in charge of the new era.</p> <p>The ballot of the AKEL Left Social Alliance, which includes people who are well-known and active, with an appetite and enthusiasm for work and offering to the local community, is equally worth fighting for.<strong> He also pointed out that the stakes of the next elections, Municipal and European elections, are exactly that.</strong> “To strengthen the forces that realize that now is the time to bring the needs and demands of society to the fore. That now is the time for the many and not for the few and privileged, the majority of society that faces multiple problems, is looking for solutions, needs measures and policies to support it”.</p> <p>Also Theoharis Hari Parchiakos Organizing Secretary   of AKEL Paphos in his greeting, among other things, stated that for AKEL, T.A. is a constant struggle to improve the quality of life, the citizens and the daily life of local societies, in the light of a progressive and pro-people orientation.</p> <p><noindex></p> <div class=Source: www.philenews.com
