Financial Challenges Faced by Municipalities
March 20, 2025
Municipalities are facing serious financial issues, as highlighted by the president of the Union of Municipalities, Andreas Vyras, warning about the continuous rise in their operating costs. State funding remains stagnant while their needs increase due to uncontrollable cost inflation. Vyras argues that municipalities are not to blame for their financial situation and that the government has not responded adequately to their needs. The increases in local taxes are causing concern among citizens, who are seeing their financial pressure intensify.
