With the cooperation of the minority factions, the new administration was formed at the Epirus Chamber of Commerce, which provokes the reaction of the majority faction “Progressive Democratic Cooperation of Economists” (PDSO), which speaks of non-respect of the election result.
The board of directors of the 6th Regional Department of Epirus of the Hellenic Chamber of Commerce was constituted on Thursday and Konstantina Papaioannou from DIKIO-S was elected president. From the same faction, Georgios Yoldasis was elected vice-president and Nikolaos Christidis as financial supervisor, while Christos Kissopoulos, elected with POFEE, occupies the position of general secretary. The three elected with the PDSO Ioannis Patounas, Georgios Barbas and Apostolos Baltzoi have the status of a member of the Board of Directors.
“Unfortunately, we experienced this as well. The DIKIO and POFEE factions did not respect the message of December 10, 2023, where 1057 of our colleagues participated in the election process, increasing the participation by 34% and asked for a change of course at the Epirus Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, we experienced this too. Minority management. The factions of DIKIO (354 votes – 33.8%) and POFEE (81 votes – 7.7%) decided to cooperate with each other without PDSO (463 votes – 44.3%) in the management of the Economic Chamber of Epirus. states the PDSO in its announcement and calls on the representative of POFEE to take a stand and explain the motivations that led him to this support.
The PDSO, for its part, complains that there was an effort to cooperate and meetings were also held with the heads of the other two factions, but when faced with the positions on the way of administration and changing the operation of the Epirus Chamber of Commerce, the only concept of the rest was division of the positions of the bureau. “Unfortunately, although in all the previous years the winner of the election assumed the responsibility of the administration, all factions respecting the popular verdict of their colleagues and morality, this time the second and third of the election, refusing to accept the result, colluded so that to circumvent any concept of elections. Any concept of expression of the majority of the participants in the electoral process. Unfortunately we will experience another term again, like the previous two at least. Same leaders with the same result: Non-existence, disrepute and zero positions towards the problems that plague our colleagues and the local society of Epirus”, continues PDSO, declaring that it will continue to defend the message “OEE useful to its members! Beneficial to society!”.
