Speaking on Radio Thessaloniki, the president of the Israeli Community of Thessaloniki, David Saltiel, expressed his hope that the issues blocking the Holocaust Museum will be clarified at the next meeting under the Deputy Prime Minister P. Pikrammeno on March 3, 2020.
"We had a rental contract for 15 acres and we had also agreed on the price we paid every month. A short time ago, however, we realized that GAIOSE was not the owner of all these acres. He had three and the rest belonged to the municipality. They changed the contract and did it for three acres," Mr. Saltiel pointed out characteristically to Stefanos Diamantopoulos. At the same time, he spoke of a complicated issue due to ownership, considering that the problems arose because there was no coordinator to clarify things.
He estimated that from the time they get the permit to start work, it will take two years to complete the project. He also revealed the discomfort of both the German side and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, which are financing the project.
“I think now he can unravel. They are not matters of substance. Here we are, trying. On the 3rd of the month we will have everyone's proposals and I hope that the issue will be clarified there", he concluded speaking to Radio Thessaloniki.
