Many times they have heard episodes in Ano Liosia and thefts, robberies, threats, and stabbings….
from Roma living in Ano Liosia. What is the situation in the area?
Residents know well that you are at risk of stabbings and even for cell phone or cigarettes, pots and anything imaginable. This is the a side.
The other is that there’s a chaos after the police many times don’t do anything. Them afraid? Is there any interest? It’s not clear why, but there are few times that offenders gypsies moving around freely in cars (while they don’t even know how to read), and have stolen , have hurt you girls.
Residents in the Ano Liosia don’t want them mostly. The shopkeepers pay attention to don’t steal, the residents are afraid of robberies, and almost daily is recorded and at least one incident.
However, the gypsies are “gathered together” in one of their own “settlement”, called “div” talk in simple language. Some of them do harm. Just sell carpets, pots and soil while others are those who with their actions “tarnished” the name of all.
But we have to understand that we are NOT talking about gypsies. The gypsies have another mentality and other values.
The gypsies get on the buses without a ticket always, unwashed, dirty, and talking with rude most of the time. Always ask for a cigarette and a fire or what time it is.
Once they said I have to go to their children in schools, but many residents reacted. “Why is my child to be in the same class with that?”. Racism will think about it all.With such attitudes do not help these people to integrate into society. But the thing is that obviously no one wants to join the society and this situation is perpetuated.
