Sunday, September 20, 2015
Within the next hour would be no announcements from the ministries on the issue of charging tolls in the present day. According to a government source, the Caretaker Prime Royal Thanou Christofili has already instructed the ministries to make every effort to settle the matter, at least until the return of electors.
Due to a complaint of the Secretary General of the Communist Party Dimitris Koutsouba, the interior ministry in a clarifying statement leaves spikes on the issue at the Ministry of Economy, Infrastructure, Marine and Tourism.
He states in particular that in a letter sent on August 29 to the ministry requested the mediation of the Ministry to apply the free passage of vehicles from tolls, a measure implemented in the recent referendum and in previous electoral processes. On request, however, he notes that it received no response.
Note, however, that the Interior Ministry had expected an announcement from the Economy Ministry last Thursday, as they had information that the toll management companies had agreed to free passage, with the exception of those that operate the Ionian Road (Antirrio - Ioannina ) and Rio - Antirion. The latter, however, (Bridge SA) provides voters with discount card for transit and return within 10 hours at a cost of 13.50 euros.
