As a new woman, I understand the problems young people face in the islands. The problems of teenagers with whom I communicate because of my profession, as an educator.

I trust and support our Regional Governor Giorgos Chatzimarkos! For the positive results he has brought to the South Aegean that affect all of Greece, but also the way he handles demanding and difficult situations. For his strategy, methodicality, combativeness and composure.
I join forces with him to win the election battle and move #forward!

Besides that, I got to know him as a person, in moments when we casually talked about our country, for which he has so many dreams and projects to implement.
He is an excellent, remarkable man, he has visions ahead, takes into account each island separately and its needs, and tries in the best possible way. This can be seen from the works he has done to date and this cannot be disputed!
