Dimitris Katsaounis from Montreal, Canada, candidate with New Democracy for the 2024 European Parliament election, shared his personal history, including his postgraduate studies in the USA, his professional steps in the financial field in Greece, the economic crisis that forced him to immigrate in 2015 with his family to Canada, the difficulties he faced there, his involvement with the diaspora and his candidacy for the European Parliament with ND, on Voice of Greece radio and the show “Our Global Voice” with Petros Diplas and Dimitris Kontogiannis.
Mr. Katsaounis stated that Greece should do much more to simplify and facilitate the transactions of expatriates with the Greek state so that they do not have to come here to resolve the issues that concern them, e.g. of an economic nature, and to realize that expatriates can be much more useful as ‘ambassadors of Greece’ in their countries of residence.
