Παρακολουθώ τις πατημασιές της νυν δημαρχίας από της εκλογής της.Και είχα σοβαρούς λόγους.Πρώτα,είχα θέμα συνειδησιακό,αφού θεωρούσα πως ο νυν δήμαρχος προερχόταν από το βρωμερό ντόπιο σύστημα που ελέγχει την πόλη από παντού.Και είχα λάθος.Και όταν έχω λάθος,ΩΦΕΙΛΩ να το ομολογήσω.

Είχα την εντύπωση αυτή,όχι άδικα βέβαια,αφού ο κ.Κασσαβός προέρχεται από την δεξαμενή ΤΑΣΟΥ ΜΟΥΣΤΑΚΑΤΟΥ,ενός εξαιρετικού δημάρχου μεν,που άφησε όμως κληρονομιά στον τόπο σαπρόφυτα που έκαναν σ’ αυτόν τον τόπο  πολύ μεγάλη ζημιά με τις καθαρά προσωπικές επιδιώξεις τους.           

ΤΙΠΟΤΑ ΔΕΝ ΕΜΑΘΑΝ ΑΠΟ ΤΟΝ ΤΑΣΟ ΜΟΥΣΤΑΚΑΤΟ που υπήρξε μέντοράς τους.Τίποτα απολύτως..

Μετά είχα θέμα Αρχών.

Διαπίστωσα ΓΙΑ ΜΙΑ ΑΚΟΜΑ ΦΟΡΑ, την πρωτοφανή σκληρότητα,την αναλγησία,την κουτοπονηριά και την απάνθρωπη μέθοδο του Συστήματος Ελέγχου της Πόλης των Αχαρνών, που δεν σταματά πουθενά και δρα ΑΝΕΥ ΟΡΙΩΝ ,όταν θέλει να εξαφανίσει κάποιον που δεν «συνεμορφώθη με τας υποδείξεις» και πολύ χειρότερα,ΟΤΑΝ ΒΛΑΠΤΕΙ ΤΑ ΣΥΜΦΕΡΟΝΤΑ ΤΟΥ.

Και εν προκειμένω,αυτός είναι ο νυν δήμαρχος.

Ο κ. Κασσαβός ενόχλησε συμφέροντα,παγιωμένα από τριακονταετίας.

Πρώτον, μείωσε τα ενοίκια που πλήρωνε ο δήμος.

Και όταν δεν ξενοίκιαζε,μείωνε το ενοίκιο.

Το Παρατηρητήριο,μια βόμβα που έσκασε στα χέρια του,και προκλήθηκε ΚΑΘΑΡΑ από τις δύο πρώην από αυτόν δημαρχίες,όχι μόνο τον ανάγκασε να προβεί σε ενέργειες συμμόρφωσης,αλλά και να αντιμετωπίσει φανατικούς εχθρούς κάθε σωστής ενέργειας δημάρχου σε αυτό τον τόπο,προκατειλλημένους «δημότες» και πολιτικούς αντιπάλους που αντιδρούν ΣΑΝ ΝΑ ΜΗΝ ΕΧΟΥΝ ΙΔΕΑ ΟΤΙ Η ΠΟΛΗ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΑΤ’ ΟΥΣΙΑΝ ΠΤΩΧΕΥΜΕΝΗ!

Δεύτερον απεδείχθη ΔΗΜΑΡΧΟΣ ΟΛΩΝ ΤΩΝ ΔΗΜΟΤΩΝ.

ΜΕ ΑΠΟΔΕΙΞΕΙΣ,ουδέποτε ξεχώρισε ΔΙΚΟΥΣ ΤΟΥ και «ΜΗ ΔΙΚΟΥΣ ΤΟΥ» ψηφοφόρους- δημότες.Οσοι παρακολουθούν την «ΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΗ» και μας διαβάζουν,πολύ καλά γνωρίζουν τι εννοώ.

Διόρθωσε- τραγικές σε κάποιες περιπτώσεις- αδικίες,έκλεισε ανωφελείς δημοτικές «εταιρείες» που λυμαίνονταν από μερίδες τοπικών φατριών,και έκανε ένα ακόμα τεράστιο «λάθος»:ΚΑΤΗΓΓΕΙΛΕ στο δημοτικό συμβούλιο ΚΑΙ ΦΩΝΑΧΤΑ,πράγματα που για πρώτη φορά ερχόντουσαν στο φως, «δια στόματος Δημάρχου».

Προέβει δηλαδή σε θανάσιμο αμάρτημα:ΕΣΠΑΣΕ ΤΗΝ ΟΜΕΡΤΑ-έστω και επι μέρους -που μόνο δύο δημοτικοί σύμβουλοι το προσπάθησαν γενναία στην Ιστορία του τόπου:η κ. ΣΟΦΙΑ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΠΟΥΛΟΥ, και ο κ. ΠΑΝΑΓΙΩΤΗΣ ΓΡΗΓΟΡΙΑΔΗΣ.

Ο κ. Κασσαβός όμως έκανε και ένα ακόμα πρωτόγνωρο «βήμα»: επέλεξε για Γραμματέα του Δήμου,όχι κουμπάρο του, «κολλητό» του, «άνθρωπό» του,αλλά τον καλύτερο Γραμματέα που θα μπορούσε να έχει ο τόπος:τον κ.ΘΑΝΑΣΗ ΚΑΤΣΙΓΙΑΝΝΗ,αντίπαλό του στις Εκλογές.Τα αποτελέσματα αυτής της κίνησης,θα τα αναπτύξουμε σε άλλη στιγμή γιατί ο «σιωπηλός» κ. Κατσιγιάννης ΤΟ ΑΞΙΖΕΙ.

Άλλο τεράστιο χάρισμα του νυν Δημάρχου,είναι Η ΜΑΓΚΙΑ να βρίσκεται στο Κέντρο Αποφάσεων της Κεντρικής Εξουσίας,προβαίνοντας σε εξαιρετικές δημόσιες σχέσεις.Είναι «κοντά» και βλέπει συχνότατα Πολιτικούς «στόχους» που έχουν την δύναμη να λαμβάνουν αποφάσεις Κεντρικής Εξουσίας,άρα να επηρεάζουν και την μοίρα του τόπου.

Και πράγματι,έχει καταφέρει να μην υπάρχει «κλειστή πόρτα» Υπουργείου γι αυτόν.Κάτι που προηγούμενοι δήμαρχοι δεν το είχαν δει ούτε στο όνειρό τους.

Αντί βέβαια να τον επαινούν, έχουν καταγράψει στην τοπική Ιστορία τις χειρότερες φράσεις μίσους,φθόνου και άμμετρης ζήλειας, που μόνο «άρρωστοι» χαρακτήρες   μπορούν να εκστομίσουν και να καταγράψουν (στα επόμενα άρθρα,θα σας έχω καταγράψει  ΚΑΙ ΤΕΤΟΙΑ).

Ένα άλλο προτέρημά του,είναι ο καλός του χαρακτήρας.

Ο κ. Κασσαβός ΟΥΔΕΠΟΤΕ ΕΒΡΙΣΕ (όπως κάνουν οι αντίπαλοί του),ουδέποτε ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΕ σε κατηγορίες, υπαινιγμούς,βρώμικες αναρτήσεις σε  social media, εξευτελιστικές για όσους  «συντάκτες» κατέγραψαν ανεξίτηλα  τέτοια κατάπτυστα και βρωμερά σχόλια, «ζωγραφίζοντας» όμως ΑΝΕΞΙΤΗΛΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΟΥΣ «ΘΑΥΜΑΣΙΟΥΣ» ΧΑΡΑΚΤΗΡΕΣ ΤΟΥΣ.

Ο νυν δήμαρχος δεν έχει.. «ευνοούμενους»και «ευνοούμενες».Κατέγραψε μια αξιοπρεπή πορεία πολιτικού,και έγινε συμπαθής γι αυτό σε πολλούς.Με αποτέλεσμα να τον μισήσουν θανάσιμα,όσοι θεώρησαν πως θα απολαύσουν ό,τι και πολλοί-πολλοί προηγούμενοι ευνούμενοι άλλων δημαρχιών,αν τον στηρίξουν στην εκλογή του.Διέπραξαν μέγιστο λάθος.

Ο νυν Δήμαρχος,δεν εκμεταλλεύτηκε την θέση και την δύναμη που του έδωσε η εκλογή του ΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΙΔΡΥΣΕΙ ΑΝΩΝΥΜΕΣ ΟΙΚΟΓΕΝΕΙΑΚΕΣ ΕΤΑΙΡΕΙΕΣ, ΚΑΤΑΣΤΗΜΑΤΑ, ΚΑΦΕΤΕΡΙΕΣ και ουδέποτε ταξίδεψε προωθώντας...ελαιόλαδα και προϊόντα.ΟΥΔΕΠΟΤΕ ΠΩΛΗΣΕ ΚΑΙ ΣΕ ΚΑΝΕΝΑΝ ΤΗΝ ΔΥΝΑΜΗ ΤΟΥ ΔΗΜΟΥ ΓΙΑ ΠΡΟΣΩΠΙΚΟ ΚΑΘΑΡΑ ΟΦΕΛΟΣ.Και μην μου πείτε "γιατί το γράφω"!!

Όμως,έκανε και  τεράστια λάθη -ή "λάθη"-που τα πλήρωσε και τα πληρώνει πανάκριβα:

-ούτε εκείνος στήριξε προσπάθειες δημιουργίας και ανάπτυξης τοπικών Μέσων Ενημέρωσης.Δεν έχει ενημερώσει έτσι τους Δημότες της Πόλης για τα προβλήματα, το ΠΑΡΑΤΗΡΗΤΗΡΙΟ, τις προσπάθειες και τα αποτελέσματά τους, ΤΟ ΓΙΑΤΙ ΔΕΝ ΕΚΑΝΕ ΚΑΠΟΙΑ ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΑ και ΠΟΙΟΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΟΙ ΛΟΓΟΙ.

Αυτά ΜΟΝΟ Ο ΤΟΠΙΚΟΣ ΤΥΠΟΣ μπορεί να τα κάνει γνωστά (θα επανέλθω και σ' αυτό εμπεριστατωμένα)

-οι σύμβουλοι που επέλεξε,απεδείχθησαν σε πολλές περιπτώσεις,ανεπαρκείς,μικρότεροι των περιστάσεων και ριψάσπιδες.

-δεν προέβει σε παροχές εξουσίας που πιθανότατα υπεσχέθει προεκλογικώς,όταν αντελήφθει εγκαίρως πως ΔΕΝ ΕΠΡΕΠΕ ΝΑ ΤΟ ΚΑΝΕΙ.

-δεν μπόρεσε ή δεν ήθελε  να επιβληθεί σε αρνητική 'μερίδα'-μικρή αλλά αρνητική-υπαλλήλων που θεωρούν τον δήμο χωράφι τους

Αυτά,στο επόμενο (2) άρθρο μου,γιατί θα διαβάζετε στο εξής συχνότατα,άρθρα που θα σας επιτρέψουν να φτάσετε στις κάλπες ΕΝΗΜΕΡΩΜΕΝΟΙ.Οπως δηλαδή κάνουμε επι είκοσι συναπτά έτη και εγώ και ο Γιάννης Βαβουρανάκης…

Την Καλημέρα μου..

Σε αρχαιρεσίες για την ανάδειξη διοικητικού συμβουλίου συνδικαλιστών,επιτρέπετε να συμμετέχουν όλοι όσοι ενδιαφέρονται;Και να να γίνω πιο σαφής:

Οι στενοί συνεργάτες-στενότατοι-πρώην δημάρχων,άρα και σαφώς προκατειλλημένοι υπέρ του,ΕΠΙΤΡΕΠΕΤΑΙ ΝΑ ΣΥΝΔΙΚΑΛΙΖΟΝΤΑΙ εν καιρώ εκλεγμένου άλλου δημάρχου που δεν είναι ο εκλεκτός τους;
Πολύ θα εκτιμούσα ενημέρωση...Ή ΝΑ ΠΕΡΙΜΕΝΩ ΠΑΛΙ ΑΔΙΚΩΣ;

THE WHITE HOUSE's latest

The White House • October 1, 2018 Today, we turn the page on NAFTA This morning from the Rose Garden, President Donald J. Trump unveiled a modernized, rebalanced trade deal with Canada and Mexico—keeping one of the signature promises of his 2016 campaign. In a stark contrast from the outdated NAFTA, nearly a quarter-century old, the new United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) protects American workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses. For years, politicians on both sides of the aisle have called for a renegotiation of NAFTA, but President Trump is following through where others have failed time and time again. In negotiating terms for USMCA, President Trump secured a number of big wins: American auto manufacturers and workers will benefit from new rules of origin that require 75 percent of auto content to be produced in North America—incentivizing billions of dollars in additional U.S. auto parts production. The USMCA scores a big win for American farmers by eliminating Canada’s “Class 7” program, which allowed others to undersell American dairy products. Canada will provide new access for U.S. dairy products, eggs, and poultry. USMCA’s labor chapter represents the strongest labor provisions of any trade agreement in our country, all of which are fully enforceable. USMCA brings our trade relationship with Canada and Mexico into the 21st century. NAFTA failed repeatedly to keep up with the fast-changing American economy: The old rules helped incentivize offshoring, leading far too many manufacturing jobs to leave our country. The new agreement includes a modernized, high-standard chapter that provides strong protection and enforcement of U.S. intellectual property rights. President Trump's modern, rebalanced trade deal with Canada and Mexico Watch: Another promise made, another promise kept The First Lady takes ‘Be Best’ to Africa First Lady Melania Trump departed this afternoon for Africa, her first major solo international trip as First Lady, taking her “Be Best” message to the nations of Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, and Egypt this week. Since the launch of Be Best this spring, Mrs. Trump has met with children all over the world, bringing attention to the three pillars of well-being, social media use, and opioid abuse. During this week’s trip, the First Lady will focus on maternal and newborn care in hospitals, education for children, and the deep culture and history that is woven into each African country she’ll visit. “Whether it is education, drug addiction, hunger, online safety or bullying, poverty or disease, it is too often children who are hit first, and hardest, across the globe,” the First Lady said when announcing the trip. “Each of us hails from a country with its own unique challenges, but I know in my heart we are united by our commitment to raising the next generation to be happy, healthy and morally responsible adults.” See highlights of the First Lady’s Best Best initiative More: The First Lady’s itinerary for the week ahead Photo of the Day Official White House Photo by Stephanie Chasez President Donald J. Trump, joined by Cabinet members, legislators and senior White House advisers, announces completion of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement during a press conference in the Rose Garden of the White House | October 1, 2018 U.S. Reaches Trade Deal with Canada and Mexico “Trade ministers from the U.S., Mexico and Canada have reached a deal to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Trump administration announced late Sunday night,” Politico reports. “The new pact, which is being called the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, is a major step toward completing one of Trump’s signature campaign promises.” Click here to read more. “President Trump on Monday praised Canada for joining the U.S. and Mexico in a new trilateral trade agreement that will replace NAFTA,” Pete Kasperowicz reports in the Washington Examiner. “Late last night, our deadline, we reached a wonderful new Trade Deal with Canada, to be added into the deal already reached with Mexico,” President Trump tweeted. The President also added that “the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, is an ‘historic transaction!’” “First lady Melania Trump heads for Africa on her first big solo international trip, aiming to make child well-being the focus of a five-day, four-country tour that will take her to every corner of the vast and impoverished continent,” Darlene Superville reports for The Associated Press. “Departing on Monday, she opens her first-ever visit to Africa on Tuesday in Ghana in the West, followed by stops in Malawi in the South, Kenya in the East and Egypt in the Northeast.” “The Trump administration’s top officials last week unleashed a full-court rhetorical press at the United Nations against Iran — and, more important, against Tehran’s enablers, who are working hard to undermine Washington’s reimposed sanctions regime,” the New York Post editorial board writes. “Team Trump has made its meaning clear: It intends to keep Iran from acquiring nukes, and — unlike his predecessor — means to curtail its rogue behavior.” “The Trump administration is putting America and Americans first by calling on China to live up to its pledge when it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 to provide greater economic openness and to compete on a level playing field,” U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad writes in the Des Moines Register. “Instead, China has failed to fully embrace the open, market-oriented principles that the United States champions.”

Statement by the Prime Minister on National Seniors Day

October 1, 2018
Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on National Seniors Day:

“Trailblazers, role models, and unsung heroes, Canada’s seniors have shaped our country in countless ways, and paved a better path for millions of Canadians.

“They answered the call to serve and defended the freedom and democracy we enjoy today. They supported their families through the decades, working at one job or more so their kids could have the best start possible in life. They laid blueprints for buildings that continue to define our cities’ skylines, and drafted landmark social programs that make our country a stronger, more compassionate place.

“So many seniors have spent a lifetime in service to others. Every day, they raise, mentor, and teach future generations, lift communities through volunteer work, and share much-needed wisdom and perspective.

“In less than 20 years, Canada’s seniors will represent almost a quarter of our population. The new Minister of Seniors, Filomena Tassi, is leading the Government of Canada’s efforts to better understand the needs of Canadian seniors and make sure they get the support they need.

“We are working hard every day to give seniors, their families, and future retirees greater security and a better quality of life. We have enhanced the Canada Pension Plan, lowered the age of eligibility for Old Age Security benefits from 67 to 65, and boosted the Guaranteed Income Supplement by nearly $1,000 a year for vulnerable seniors.

“We have improved EI caregiver benefits to make it easier for Canadians to care for a family member in need. We have also committed $6 billion in funding to provinces for better home care, including palliative care, and taken steps to create safer, more accessible, and affordable housing, so more Canadians, including seniors, have a comfortable place to call home.

“Today, I encourage all Canadians to say thank you and recognize seniors in their life – parents, grandparents, teachers, friends, and neighbours – for everything they have done, and continue to do, for our country.”

Council of the European Union     2/10/2018  Declaration by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on the situation in Nicaragua Five months after the outbreak of social protests in Nicaragua, the situation in the country remains of serious concern to the European Union and its Member States. Basic principles of democracy, accountability and rule of law continue to be severely undermined by the authorities' repression, which creates a climate of fear and mistrust. The national dialogue with the aim of reaching political solutions to these problems is now stalled. The lack of official cooperation with the international missions investigating human rights abuses prevents full accountability and justice to be served and encourages impunity. To this end and in line with previous statements, the European Union and its Member States urge the government of Nicaragua to allow the return of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNOHCHR) and enable it to continue its mission in the country as well as to provide the necessary support requested by the Follow-Up Mechanism on Nicaragua (MESENI) and the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI) to carry out their mandate. We call on the government of Nicaragua to stop the disproportionate use of force against demonstrators, halt arrests based on laws which criminalize peaceful protest, free peaceful demonstrators and re-establish the full respect of due process for all detainees. We also call on the government of Nicaragua to act on the findings and recommendations by the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (IACHR) and UNOHCHR, in particular to ensure full accountability for perpetrators of human rights' abuses and the disarming and disbanding of armed groups. The European Union and its Member States continue to support an inclusive dialogue on justice and democracy as the way out of the current crisis and reiterate their willingness to contribute to this process as a means to deliver on the legitimate democratic aspirations of the Nicaraguan people. To this end we renew our call on the government of Nicaragua to resume the national dialogue and stand ready to further support this process. Council of the European Union     2/10/2018  VAT fraud: Council agrees to allow generalised, temporary reversal of liability On 2 October, the Council agreed a proposal that will allow temporary derogations from normal VAT rules in order to better prevent VAT fraud. The proposed directive will allow member states that are most severely affected by VAT fraud to temporarily apply a generalised reversal of VAT liability. This so-called generalised ‘reverse charge’ mechanism involves shifting liability for VAT payments from the supplier to the customer. The Commission issued the proposal in December 2016 at the request of member states particularly affected by VAT fraud. "This directive will provide a solution for member states that face endemic carousel fraud", said Hartwig Löger, minister for finance of Austria, which currently holds the Council presidency. "It is an exceptional measure, limited in time, that could prove to be an efficient way to fight VAT fraud." Member states will be able to use the generalised reverse charge mechanism (GRCM), only for domestic supplies of goods and services above a threshold of €17 500 per transaction, only up until 30 June 2022, and under very strict technical conditions. In particular, in a member state that wishes to apply such measure, 25% of the VAT gap has to be due to carousel fraud. Among other requirements, this member state will have to establish appropriate and effective electronic reporting obligations on all taxable persons, in particular those to which the mechanism would apply. The generalised reverse charge mechanism may only be used by a member state once it meets the eligibility criteria and its request has been authorised by the Council. The application of this measure is also subject to strict EU safeguards. Council of the European Union     2/10/2018 VAT: Council agrees short-term fixes, pending overhaul On 2 October 2018, the Council agreed on four adjustments to the EU's current VAT rules to fix specific issues. Pending introduction of the new VAT system, four short-term 'quick fixes' will be made regarding the VAT aspects of trade between the member states. Discussions are ongoing on a definitive VAT system to replace the current 'transitional' VAT arrangements, which have been applied since 1993. "This package of proposals is aimed at fixing some of the practical problems we are experiencing with the current VAT rules”, said Hartwig Löger, minister for finance of Austria, which currently holds the Council presidency. “At the same time, it is of high practical relevance for our businesses who will benefit from the harmonised rules." Council of the European Union     2/10/2018  Electronic publications: Council agrees to allow reduced VAT rates On 2 October 2018, the Council agreed a proposal allowing member states to apply reduced, super-reduced or zero VAT rates to electronic publications, thereby allowing alignment of VAT rules for electronic and physical publications.
