"Evangelia works in the cleaning of our municipality. She found a bag with 19,000 euros and with her colleague, they handed it over to the police. Evangelia I say a big thank you, not for the bag but because it sends a great message to all of us. That dignity, humanity and mutual respect are the keys to a better society," the mayor said in a statement.
