Loizidis Strongly Criticizes Police: “We are being mocked, losing 5-0 to the underworld”

Nikos Loizidis, president of the ISOTITA trade union, strongly criticized the police and its leadership regarding the handling of organized crime and the undervaluation of provincial police headquarters. He argued that there is a lack of adequate policing, resulting in a loss of control and an increase in crime. He also accused the police leadership of a lack of transparency and accountability, as well as presenting a false image of the situation. Mr. Loizidis emphasized the need for a substantial reorganization of the police and the utilization of the union's proposals, while expressing the opinion that the Minister of Interior was misled regarding the state of the police.
