Tsipras and 16 members of the government in Crete for the Regional Congress

The work of the 3rd Regional Conference on Production Reconstruction, this time in Crete, is celebrated today, with a full-day meeting closed by a speech by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Vasilis Lamprinos, mayor of Heraklion, and Stavros Arnaoutakis, regional governor.

The weight that Maximum's Palace throws at the regional congresses is "huge", he supported by speaking to the APE-MPA a government source, which is signified by the presence of 16 members of the government at the conference, whose positions cover the whole sphere of issues employing the island. But "it is not only the talk of the Prime Minister and the Ministers, it is the fact that they" open "all the issues with the actors of the region, and there is also a discussion about them about the Cretan Reconstruction and Recovery Plan," she explained source.

Emphasizing the comparative advantages of this island, an island where progress and prosperity is in its "DNA". These advantages can be the natural environment, tourism, the rural economy and livestock farming, renewable energy sources.

At the same time, an issue that emerges separately from the visit of the Prime Minister (and also Herakleion MP) to Crete is innovation and research, a matter that is firm in its priorities, as evidenced by his recent visits to dared businesses. For this reason, Mr. Tsipras will visit the Foundation for Research and Technology, and tomorrow, Friday, he will speak to Chania at the Forum "Clean Energy for the EU Islands".

Society at the heart of the project

A structural feature of these regional conferences, which shows both the real interest of the government and the positive response of the local community to them, is the fact that central authority and local actors co-shape the plan for tomorrow. Or, as noted by Deputy Prime Minister Yiannis Dragasagis yesterday, in the opening of work, "so far, society has been on the sidelines of developmental plans. Now society is at the heart of the project, "adding that the government's objective, following the regional sessions, is to create stable and permanent structures for the participation of society.

While Stavros Arnaoutakis, the regional governor of Crete, was very important for the presence of Prime Minister and Ministers on the island, pointing out that "the aim of the Development Conference is to agree to a major development treaty for Crete. In addition, the Court's most important message must be a message of optimism. "

Decades of decades are now becoming an act

However, as development and productive reconstruction are not understood without infrastructure, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport plays a key role in this new page that opens for Crete. With the first construction of the North Road Axis, "a story of announcements and only announcements," criticizing the previous government, Christos Spirtzis, in his interview with yesterday (in "Crete Crete" and "In Red Crete").

Today, however, what is preferred is "to make a comprehensive study from Kastelli of Chania to Sitia, so that this road can be combined with all the activities on the island and in all the prefectures in all regions". A road safe and without a toll, as Mr. Spirtzis explained, "we are committed that the Cretans will not pay tolls and will not pay, because both Crete and island Greece must somehow have what we call a transport equivalent ".

Another "nasty" story is the airport in Kasteli, which Mr. Spirtzis described as "bridge of Arta". For these two major projects, announcements are expected.
