Troubles Mount for Justice Minister

The Minister of Justice is facing multiple problems, both in the prisons and in the Police Force. In the prisons, the two trade unions are engaged in a trade union war, mutually accusing each other and making insinuations. In the Police Force, the unions are reacting to the Chief’s decision to reduce overtime and working hours. Konstantinos Fytiris is called upon to find a solution that will appease the spirits and allow for the tackling of more serious problems. He has already expressed the need for unity, responsibility, and a common goal, which is the safety of society. However, the trade unions appear to pay little attention to these appeals. The Minister is in a phase of being informed, mapping, and studying the situation before making decisions. Dynamic interventions may be necessary if the situation escalates. The situation is complex and requires careful management, as the conflict between the trade unions may affect the smooth functioning of the services and the effective tackling of crime.
