Solidarity to Ioanna Kolovou, with a gathering today, Monday, November 21, 2022, at 146 Avydou Street, Zografou
Sad images on Monday morning (21/11) in Ilisia with police officers as protagonists. Victim of the low-pension journalist fighting to save her house that was auctioned for a debt of 15,000 euros.
According to OPEN, police officers, shortly before 8:00, broke down her door and entered her house to carry out the eviction. This was followed by a recording of the objects in the house, with Ioanna Kolovou saying that she is not allowed to be present.
“I had never taken a loan (…). The bank auctioned it and gave it to friends, because a metro station is being prepared 20 meters from here” says Mrs. Kolovou (OPEN). In fact, she complains that someone hit her “very hard on the arm”.
Suggestions
While a low-income pensioner is being evicted, the government representative is talking about an institutional framework that protects public housing!
He claimed that the institutional framework provides a number of possibilities for borrowers not to lose the first home. He spoke of a “very unpleasant picture” of what is happening in the house of Ioanna Kolovou, but with the phrase “respect for legality” he clearly implied that the government is not going to do anything to prevent the low pensioner from losing her home for a debt of 15,000 euros as she has stated.

The moment when the policemen break the roof of Ioanna Kolovou’s house
Outraged neighbors of the veteran journalist “welcome” police and bailiffs who break down the front door of the low-pension mother of a child on the autism spectrum, in order to execute the decision to eviction, after her first home was auctioned for a debt of 10,000 euros, as she claims, which , according to the same source, refers to a card and not a loan.
In the video, police officers, just before eight in the morning, broke down the door with an electric saw and entered her home. This was followed by a recording of the objects in the house, with Ioanna Kolovou not present.
