The trial, which was scheduled for last Monday, was postponed for the summer as well as some of the defendants are soldiers. Earlier, the plaintiff had requested a continuance, requiring, in addition to the 15, to be included in the indictment and the Mayor, the deputy mayors and members of the administrations of the places where made the graffiti!!!
Trying to unwrap the tangle” of a case that starts from 2011 and is moving in the blurred boundaries of civil rights and συνωμοσιολογικής persistence, we talked with some of the children and their lawyers who were surprised when just a few days ago, received the summons for the trial.
As they told us, if the particular gentleman has filed hundreds of petitions against them in the last few years, the Da’s office just recently decided to press charges, sending the case to trial.
Juveniles -minors in the performance of acts in the majority of them – are accused of repeatedly damaging property with graffiti. The plaintiff, however, has progressed… much further, analyzing the drawings and identifying alleged para-religious, pagan and occult symbols that, according to him, the orthodox church! This is a person known in court circles since often in the past has sued αυτοδιοικητικοÏÏ‚ -and not only succeeding convictions.
Has been “making a file on”
In this case, however, as the kids say in the zarpanews.gr, acting as “detectives” watching their every move for years, photographing, collecting evidence from their private lives but also from accounts on social networks, creating amazing relationships in their weight. In the course, warts, the reports of the Authorities (public Prosecutor’s office, Municipality, Church) and put it in any no one took him seriously.
Feature is the part of the complaint to the municipal parking lot, which features the Mayor, Tasos Vamvouka, responsible for the conversion into a centre for the conversion of the New Era “graffiti at the municipal parking lot include and para-religious elements while some designers have a relationship with παÏαθÏησκείες,” says, among other things.
Still, citing evidence that he has collected from the watch, it connects certain of the defendants with other graffiti and smudges (with tagging) in public buildings and archaeological sites.
We asked the children about the drawings. They told us that it’s not satanists, they don’t want to spend a hidden, coded messages, and either to destroy or to spoil the buildings.
“The graffiti is an expression, it’s art, it’s a way to smile at a space. It’s not something bad, nor something terrible”, stresses Peter, “we have to do is paint we want”.
As she says, the kids were shocked by the prosecution, as well as generally, people are very positive towards them and even more ask them graffiti in private or public buildings.
The city council
The issue finally reached the city council following a request from the head of the Citizens ‘ Initiative, Yianni Sarris, who asked to take a position the Municipality in favour of children. The Mayor replied that it is aware of the issue and later, the deputy mayor of culture, with regard to the garage of Peridou, with a written of said commented the following: “The result is extremely elegant and is a proposal for the utilization of large surfaces in the urban landscape. He really looks absurd in the 21st century, in a modern city, pursuing artistic expression, and the voluntary collective offer, and especially young peopleâ€.
