Police Union Responds to Warnings from Minister of Justice

The Police Union ISOTITA has strongly responded to warnings from the Minister of Justice, Konstantinos Fytiris, regarding consequences for police officers who do not comply with regulations regarding overtime. Tensions are escalating following a meeting between union representatives and the Minister, where the possibility of surprise protests was emphasized. ISOTITA stated that the institutional perception linking discipline with blind obedience is contrary to the principles of the Rule of Law, emphasizing that the role of a trade unionist is to control power, not to submit to it. Furthermore, the union clarified that it will not back down in protecting the dignity of police officers and prison guards.
