The Press Office of the municipal party “Kalymnos Dynami Prooptikis” responds to reports alleging delays and budget overruns in the construction of a new ANEK vessel, stating that the current municipal administration inherited the project incomplete, with many already paid works left unfinished. It accuses the shipyard of exploiting the pre-election period by demanding immediate payments for previously paid services.
The statement emphasizes that all transactions were made via banks and are fully documented. It breaks down the cost of the remaining work (approximately €237,000) and dismisses claims of “expensive” procurements. It affirms that funding has been secured—both from subsidies and a €500,000 capital increase—and argues that current misinformation serves petty political interests.
