Greece’s Interior Minister has voiced concerns regarding the current system of building permit oversight, stating it’s akin to “putting the wolf in charge of the sheep.” This criticism centers on the existing framework governing building authorities, known as “Polemdomies.” Despite the Minister’s remarks, the government has clarified that there are no immediate changes to the legal code currently in place. However, officials announced plans to revise the building permit issuance process, with changes slated to be implemented beginning in the autumn of 2025. The specifics of these forthcoming changes remain undisclosed. The Minister’s statement highlights potential issues with self-regulation within the building sector. The government’s planned revisions suggest an acknowledgement of the need for reform in the system.
