Police Union 'ISOTITA' Protests Outside Parliament Over Work Schedule Changes

Members of the police union 'ISOTITA' are protesting outside Parliament over changes being promoted to their work schedules. The president of 'ISOTITA', Nikos Loizidis, accused the police leadership of abuse of power and emphasized that police officers work on the front lines to protect citizens, sacrificing their personal time and families. Mr. Loizidis stressed that police officers are not on the streets and in the courts to protect organized crime, but to perform their duty according to the law. He appealed to the Chief of Police to see his officers and recognize their sacrifices. The protest takes place during a period of intense discussion about tackling organized crime and enhancing citizen safety. 'ISOTITA' seeks to ensure that changes to work schedules do not negatively impact the effectiveness of the Police and the quality of life of police officers. The union expresses its opposition to the changes, believing that they will lead to overwork of police officers and reduce their ability to respond to the increasing challenges of everyday life.
