15 January was the normal deadline for the redefinition of the cases of the Katzeli Law. This means that 35,000 first homes they would now lose protection and go for auction.
The coordinating committee of the country's bar associations saw the huge problem that is being created and went to the Minister of Justice. The minister raised his hands and referred them to the Maximum. And Maximou also raised its hands and said that it is very strong the pressure from the banks and he can't do anything.
After mature consideration, the government granted a 15-day extension. It is unknown what will be done in 15 days when the applications filed so far are only 4,400.
But the essence of the issue remains: the government, «under pressure from the banks», has decided to removes protection from 35,000 first homes in the pandemic and the crisis. Because the bankers are asking for it.
Let's keep this together with some other things: like that they tried to cut free drugs to 600,000 low-income pensioners and at the last minute they had to pick it up.
Or that they spent a Bankruptcy Code that literally preys on those who are about to be bankrupted by the crisis and the lockdown.
