YOUR ACT OF SOLIDARITY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE!
It should be made unequivocally clear to all competent officials that the criminal practices of the Greek police—right outside the Ministry of Citizen Protection of The Hellenic Republic—as well as the failure of the government of The Hellenic Republic to comply with supranational legislation of overriding importance will not be tolerated any longer.
