How can I expedite my application process to get the blue card in Greece?

I am living in Athens since November of 2019. I got the blue paper after I got a work visa, and I have enrolled to get the blue card. My application is still under evaluation since December of 2019, and my blue paper will be expired within a few days. Is there any way that I can expedite my application process to get the blue card?

You will have to apply for renewal for one more year at the immigration office.

Due to the prevailing circumstances, many temporary residence permits facing expiration should be arranged through automatic renewal by the re-opening date from the decentralized authorities. But if you have provided reasons to expedite the procedure, you can submit a letter (or send an email) explaining the reasons your permanent residence permit must be issued immediately; attach any supporting documents too, if available. The request is then examined by the head of the decentralized authorities and, if accepted, within a month, the biometric residence permit is issued.
