The Municipality of Fyli is the only Greek Municipality at the Marseille Summit for its multilevel actions in dealing with the pandemic

The Municipality of Fyli participates, on the initiative of the Mayor Christos Pappos, in the Summit of Regions and Cities that takes place in Marseilles. The proposal of the Municipality of Fili was approved, after evaluation, by the competent European body and gives the opportunity to the Municipality to present the multilevel actions developed since the outbreak of COVID-19.

Every two years, the European Committee of the Regions organises the Summit of Regions and Cities in order to bring together their elected representatives and discuss the main challenges facing the European Union.

As part of the Conference, a Virtual Exhibition is held where selected bodies, after evaluation, are invited to showcase their actions against the health threat and the social challenges arising from the outbreak of the pandemic. The exhibition is held from February 18 to March 18, 2022 and citizens have the opportunity to browse it through https://marseille.euconf.eu/expo-copy, to visit the virtual stand of the Municipality of the Tribe and the Other bodies also selected for promotion include European cities and regions, major European organisations such as Eurostat, and French cities and regions, with France currently holding the Presidency of the Council of Europe.

In these difficult times of the pandemic, local authorities have often been at the forefront of crisis management and adapting to the new routine. In this context, the words "Sustainability" and "Innovation" best describe the flexibility and ingenuity shown by municipalities and regions to support their citizens in a variety of social issues.

This year, the Summit will be held in Marseille on 3 and 4 March 2022 and aims to increase the impact and visibility of the Conference on the Future of Europe. The voices of the regions and cities must be heard as they are key players in the European project and play an essential role in placing citizens at the heart of Europe.

"Once again, the Municipality of Fyli is a pioneer and participates in a high level event for the future of Europe. The response to the pandemic by our Services was deemed worthy of prominence at European level. This is another honorary distinction that makes us feel proud but above all fills us with responsibility. We are participating in the Marseille Summit, ready to hear the voice of our Municipality in a creative and valuable dialogue for the future of Europe, which we feel as our family and we are active members of, ”said the Mayor of Fyli Christos Pappous.
