Bad and Sad

Two firefighters tragically lost their lives during a firefighting operation in an abandoned building in Zephyri, Attica, leading to emotional responses from colleagues and union leaders.

The president of the National Firefighters’ Association criticized the dangerous conditions of the building and the repeated incidents of fires caused by Roma individuals, calling for urgent action to address the issue. He highlighted severe shortages in personnel and equipment within the firefighting service, questioning the government’s response to the ongoing crisis and the rising number of firefighter fatalities this year.

This is part of a sad and nasty pattern in Greece to blame Roma for all of the criminality and for a fair share of the fires. Bad.
