Thousands of people came to the rally in solidarity with the victim

Neighbors, friends, students, representatives of political parties and hundreds of other concerned members of society came today to the house of Ioanna Kolova, who on Monday morning witnessed how the bailiff, accompanied by the police, breaks down the door to drive her out of the house.

As we reported earlier, the police, in the presence of a bailiff, broke down the front door of the journalist’s house Joanna Kolova at 5:30 am on Monday, and they literally threw the pensioner and her son out into the street.

An apartment in the Athens suburb of Ilissia was put up for electronic auction in March 2022 for a credit card debt of around 15,000 euros. It was purchased by a private individual through a fund for an undisclosed amount, but apparently no more than the amount owed. “They came with a power saw and broke the door, the bailiff pushed me hard and hurt my hand, which is now swollen,” Kolova told reporters. News247.

Then the authorities copied things and pieces of furniture in the house of I. Kolova without her presence, since she was not allowed to be in her already former apartment. She complained that she was given only one piece of clothing and two cats to take away.

Later, when the bailiff was leaving Ms. Kolova’s house, the neighbors expressed their anger by yelling at him, and the police had fled earlier.

After a crowded meeting at the house in Ano Ilisia, a march took place to Gardenias Square in Zografa.

As you can see in the photographs, the streets of the area were filled with people shouting slogans such as “no houses in the hands of banks, evictions in the villas of the authorities.”

Finally, it should be recalled that Ioanna Colova, speaking to reporters, described what she experienced in the morning, when the police broke down the door of her house, as “very traumatic and very shocking”, adding that “I did not expect that in a state of law, in a democratic state can suffer in this way.”

PS We must pay tribute to the Greek left and the communists. The author of this publication interviewed several times people who were wanted to be evicted from their only home, however, after the communists intervened, everything was canceled.
