Following the sad news of the loss of Constantinos Papastergiou, who had been the Mayor of Trikkaia for a number of years, the KISE sent the following letter of condolence to the Minister of Digital Governance Dimitris Papastergiou:

"On behalf of the Central Jewish Council of Greece and Greek Jewry, we express our deepest condolences and our undivided support for the loss of your beloved father, KONSTANTINOS.

Konstantinos Papastergiou, was an iconic personality who with a huge contribution, love and passion helped in the development of the city of Trikala. A man who did not hesitate to support the Israeli Community of Trikala for the preservation of the Jewish cultural heritage in the city and Greek Jewry through the organization of actions to preserve the memory of the Holocaust.

May God rest his soul and may his blessing and memory be with you always.
