The recent Pyrgos City Council meeting was marked by heated exchanges among Mayor Stathis Kannis, minority leader Takis Antonakopoulos, and Deputy Mayor Nontas Kyriatzi. The discussion focused on the management of cultural events in the municipality, with Antonakopoulos criticizing Kannis for hosting ‘cosmopolitan events’ without fiscal rationale. In response, Kannis pointed to Antonakopoulos’s absence during key city promotions. Additionally, the local Chamber of Commerce raised concerns about rising criminal incidents, though Kannis stated that law enforcement reported no recent increases in crime statistics.
