Psychiatrist – Doctor of university of Athens
As a volunteer Psychiatrist with postgraduate training in the Management of Health Crises and the experience of the Coordinator of the National Operations Centre Health, I decided to dedicate the weekend of Clean Monday in the temporary refugee stations of Thessaly…
Trikala -the decommissioned refreshment of the Fortress and Larissa -at the abandoned building the industry’s ROCA. .
Comparing the difficulties faced by the refugees of outdoor (in tents, in the grounds of the ROCA) Centre for Temporary Hosting of Refugees of Larissa with the corresponding administrative difficulties of ομοιοπαθών and people who are accommodated in the respective (shaded in the inactive refreshment of the Fortress) is a Centre of Hospitality of Trikala, I feel that justified the taking of the initiative (and the related cost of reactions) for the covered hospitality of the refugees in Trikala. I emphasise that these centres have, de facto, horizon tool 10-15 days. Neither the infrastructure nor the voluntary and sub-national basis of organisation, nor the cultural συνδηλοÏμενα of the Fortress of the city of Trikala, can withstand more days or ongoing refugee flows. The refugees are planned to be moved to the Centres that will be created in the Sikourio and the Airy, in positions, i.e. abandoned thessalian camps, if the Government is proven to be consistent with the referenced design. There but the conditions are still more difficult, as it is solely for σκηνοπηγικοÏÏ‚ camps and this needs intensification and establishment of the government’s action to non-faced with small Thessalian ΕιδομÎνες, or with a corresponding some scattered across the country. And, of course, the radical treatment of the problem has even deeper-governmental and transnational roots and responsibilities, which relate to the storage of the eastern sea border for a reduction of inputs (and return of illegal incoming refugees, in the ambiguous and self-serving Turkey) and the opening of the northern border (with unethical and anti-solidarity in the way they closed the Balkan neighbours) to relieve congestion of the caged in Greece of refugees.
The humanity and self-activation of citizens and the local government cover, for the time being, the state indifference and the institutional and personal failure of those in power. The issue, however, the management of the caged and constantly εισÏεόντων refugees requires central planning, coordinates government choices, concrete actions and effective solutions and cannot be left to the volunteer, the pride of the Greeks, and to the patriotism of the government. Around the world, the solidarity of the fellow turning on the “civil society” is called upon to strengthen and multiply the solicitude of the state, not to replace it. In Greece, 2016, it seems that this is not the case. It is, urgently, the need for central planning and government, not only voluntary and sub-national solicitude.
Civil society and state (if in)sufficiency in the camps of refugees..
