Minister who does not listen to the market «Congratulations.» Alafouzou in Gr.Dimitriadis, the earnings at Lamda Development, the ekselakia of Nea Tsafos and the AB that goes to Santorini.
Minister of Tourism Olga Kefalogianni must be terribly busy. It does not explain otherwise how he does not find time, months now, to meet and listen to the views of an organization with a crucial role in the field of hospitality.
The reason for short-term lease, the famous Airbnb, dealing with thousands of property owners across the country and contributing around EUR 1 billion to tax revenues.
As we heard on the podcast We hosted in the BD by the vice president of the Association of Companies for Brachychronic Renting Real Estate (Stama Greece), Theocharis Michailidis:
«The League is trying, but there are government ministers who refuse to talk to us. Like, say, the Minister of Tourism. We've sent so many requests, letters and memos, and he's not answering.
And wherever he is and where he stands, and where he speaks, he will say something negative about short-terms. To see who these people are who they blame each time».
Greek specificity
Needless to note that this high attitude is exclusively a Greek phenomenon.
In all normal European countries, the ministers of a government speak with their responsibility bodies, discuss and learn about the problems and challenges they face, listen to their complaints and demands and try to create a policy aimed at maximising the benefit for society and the economy.
Here, their ministers and advisers know everything. They do not speak with many and often legislate without the slightest consultation of the market and the companies concerned by the legislation.
The credit Giannis Alafouzou in Gr. Dimitriadis
With an enthusiastic «Congratulations.» reacted, to the social boss of the Panathinaikos football team and SKAI, Giannis Alafousos in the post of Gregory Dimitriadis, and of course we do not mean Gregory Dimitriadis of SKAI, who reacted strongly to the lawsuit filed by Vangelis Marinakis after the well-known incident at Telekom Center Athens.
«Let's get this over with. I've never learned to bow my head to anyone before. I will protect my family, my principles and my values to the end. Mr. Marinakis won't roll us all down his gutter. Mr. Marinakis, you're not doing Colombia.» Mr Dimitriadis and Mr Alafuzo, among other things, noted that Mr. «Congratulations.».

«Contrast» Caffoo with the export market
The confrontation of Nikos Tsafos with the market holds well, as he once again wanted to respond to what is said about the energy market.
This time he attempted to break down the arguments circulating about our country being burdened with exporting cheap and buying expensive electricity.
He did what he knows very well to do: the eccles. That's when he spoke with numbers... According to him, this year, which we are stable exporters, the surplus is already +341m euros for the first quarter.
«Our country is a clean exporter around the clock this year – we export a little more at noon, but also in the evening we export significant quantities (over 1 GW net)», hurry to clear up.
However, how does this money benefit the final consumer? Does he see a decrease in his account?
The market objection obviously lies in the fact that if we as a country could use, if not all, but at least most of the excess energy from RESBy storing it in batteries, there would also be tangible benefits for the final consumer. He'd see reductions in the power bill.
In the final line the entrance of AB Vasilopoulos to Santorini
In the final line goes AB Vasilopoulos' bass in Santorini, as four new stores will open within the next period as part of an expansion of the chain on the islands.
