he decentralized administration’s decision to hold his concert was disdainful Nikos Economopoulos August 2nd and this because the DAC Argos It does not meet the specifications to accommodate more than 3,500 seated spectators, due to stability problems with the upper truss.
For this reason, a temporary permit has been granted with specific restrictions, specifying that static reinforcement works of the upper deck and an environmental permit are required.
Information on whether or not the popular artist’s concert will take place at Slow are confusing, because so far no postponements have been announced and the pre-sale of tickets is continuing normally, despite the negative decision of the Decentralized Administration.
When the issue was put to the vote, the municipal authority had assured that the stadium area was suitable for the execution of the event in question and that the upper part of the stands would be blocked so as not to endanger the spectators.
Regardless, reasonable questions arise about the safety of those who will be in the stadium that night, if the much-anticipated event concert which is organized by the Association “Archimède Asinis”.
Questions from “Pame Alios”
The municipal faction of Argos-Mycenae “Let’s Go” has positioned itself on the issue, emphasizing the following:
“As a faction, we voted in favour of organising the event in question, despite the low rent of only 1,000 euros, with the aim of stimulating traffic in the city and after drawing the attention of the deputy mayor responsible to the problems of vandalism of the stadium area as well as the issue of the risk of upper diazomes.
Our municipal authority assured that the stadium area is suitable for the execution of the event in question and that the upper deck of the stands will be blocked so that spectators are not at risk.
However, on 22/07/2024, by decision of the Secretary of the Decentralized Administration, decision no. 157/2024 of the Municipal Council regarding the rental of the stadium to the club “ARCHIMEDES ASINIS”, which organizes the concert of N. Economopoulos, is canceled.
The cancellation of the decision of the City Council is not for formal reasons but for substantive reasons, because the city’s stadium, which will have to host Panargiakos’ matches in the Second National League from September, does not meet the specifications from a static point of view to accommodate a larger part of the 3,500 seated spectators.
Based on the observations of the commission set up by the region to advise on the safety of the sports infrastructure of the PE Argolis, the DAK Argos received a temporary authorisation while specifying that the static reinforcement works of the upper deck and the environmental authorisation are required.
We demand an immediate response from the Municipal Authority to the questions that arise:
1) Why was the DAK Argos granted for an activity that is not covered by the temporary license held by the site?
2) Who is responsible for the static suitability of the stands in the municipality?
3) Has the environmental authorization for the site been obtained in accordance with the law?
5) When will the Municipality officially inform the public about what will happen with the event?
