In his speech, His Eminence characterized the day as particularly important for western Thessaloniki, stressing that the area serves a population that reaches 400,000 inhabitants.

"Our joy is special today. We are talking about a densely populated area, with the youngest population of Thessaloniki. They are the people who commute every day, the young, the workers, the students. A whole world that for years lived invisible, on the sidelines", he said characteristically.

"People's daily lives are characterized by the dignity they must have when they work and when they move. That is why the delivery of these buses fills us with hope", he noted.
