The administration of Charis Doukas in Athens may be below base on the obvious, but the mayor and PASOK is planning a municipal television station.
At one time Charis Dukas said, as a key election announcement, that he would reduce Athens’ temperature by up to five degrees. Obviously, this promise has gone by the wayside, along with so many others.
At the same time that the municipality’s administration can’t find its stride on the basics, such as cleanliness and decency of public spaces, while Athenians are looking for the… The mayor decided to create a municipal channel. After all, what was the citizen missing in Athens?
Another state-owned channel, where the municipality’s respective administration will appoint day laborers and advertise the mayor. It is certain that after the creation of the station, the Doukas administration will have significantly improved the daily life of Athenian citizens.
So according to reports, the mayor and his staff are planning to apply for a license for a regional channel. Something like an extension of municipal radio to television. However, the key question is whether this is now allowed by law.
In any case, there are some basic questions here: why does the city need to waste millions on a TV station in the digital age? and even at the same time that Charis Dukas is complaining about municipal funding?
It remains to be seen whether the mayor will finally take the leap and file an application, if the legal framework allows him to do so. The issue with Charles Duke is not to perform his role… canal lord but that of the mayor at last.
