Patras benefited from the meeting held yesterday at the Ministry of Sports by the mayor Kostas Peletidis, who was accompanied by the deputy mayor for Sports Takis Petropoulos, with the deputy minister of Sports, Yannis Vroutsis, in the presence of Maria Polyzou, former long-distance champion and current advisor of the Brutsis.
According to information, the atmosphere was good, Giannis Vroutsis appeared to be informed in general about the needs of the city in terms of sports facilities and showed a willingness to respond to specific requests submitted by the Municipality of Patreon.
The main thing was that there was a commitment on the part of Mr. Vroutsis to find a solution in order to finance the change of tartan in the Pamploponnisiako Stadium, the auxiliary Stadium and two routes on the bus.
At the same time, accepting a relevant proposal for the creation and revitalization of small sports centers, which will help in various ways the young people to move away from…others, in the neighborhoods of the city, he will finance an open field in Patras, where he will be indicated by the Municipality.
In fact, initially he was asked to finance two open courts, but the commitment of Yiannis Vroutsis was ultimately for one with the Municipality of Patreon aiming for the specific construction by GGA to be the beginning to advance the major issue of the reconstruction of small open neighborhood basketball courts, volleyball, tennis and 5X5 football.
The biggest gain from the meeting was the commitment to replace the tartan in the Pamploponnisio Stadium, in order to be able to host major and international events, since this is now imposed by the World Federation. The total amount required is 2.5 million euros.
On the other hand, Yiannis Vroutsis underlined related requests: Firstly, that there is no possibility for the GGA to finance the maintenance of the Pampeloponnesian stadium with the state owing, as the Municipality claims, 6 million euros from the past.
Secondly, that there is no possibility of regulating the debt by pointing out that the Municipalities are not subsidized by the Ministry of Sports, but by the Ministry of the Interior and so it is!
But Kostas Peletidis and Takis Petropoulos replied that the programming agreement for the concession of the Pamploponnisian Stadium has been made with the Ministry of Sports, the Olympic Properties, the Region and the Municipality, underlining that there is a contractual obligation.
FREQUENT UPDATES
During the meeting, Kostas Peletidis and Takis Petropoulos informed Yiannis Vroutsis about the actions of the Municipality in Patras and the operation of all sports facilities, as well as the philosophy of the Municipality regarding sports. Mr. Vroutsis, for his part, informed the Mayor of Patreon and the Deputy Mayor about his effort to implement digital governance in Sports.
