The regional authorities have emphasized the importance of responding promptly to the needs of the citizens. The Regional Governor of Peloponnese, Dimitris Ptochos, highlighted the necessity for available resources to reach the areas where they are most needed, ensuring that funding decisions translate quickly into tangible results.
