One of the items of revenue in the treasury of the municipality are municipal taxes. But in recent years, many stores have stopped their activities and have closed down, which means that a part of the revenue has declined. To encourage traders, but also to return to life the center, the municipality proposed for the newly opened shops not to be subject to municipal taxes or to reduce them for some period of time.

Recently one of the problems of the city is related to the great number of newcomer immigrants who have no papers. The mayor proposed to speed up the procedure for examining applications for asylum as well as to register all illegal immigrants without this meaning that they will have the right to claim to remain for long in the state. About the 300 immigrants, who are carrying out a hunger strike for more than a month and many of them are now hospitalized with irreversible for their health damage to the body, the Mayor of Athens said he spoke with the directors of five hospitals in the capital, where they are accommodated and they have notified him that the condition of patients is completely under control. Kaminis said that in the municipality they have already received several proposals from NGOs and today he had to meet with the Union for Human Rights, whose proposal has attracted his attention. The solution must be lie on pure logic, without placing the lives of the strikers in danger, said the mayor.
