We are very pleased that POMIDA today is a responsible institutional body representing small and medium-sized private real estate in our country, and in fact the backbone of the so-called “middle class”, recognized and with special legislation.”

This is how TOMATO gained the trust of the political apparatus of the country, the press and, we believe, an important part of our society.”
