THE disabled cycling champion, Nikos Papageliswho lives in the Kouvara area and was forced to leave his home with his parents due to the fire, filed an incredible complaint.
With his post, he denounced the fascist, as he characterized it, behavior of a police officer: “Let’s see how you run to leave when you fire come this way” she reportedly told him ELAS police officer when he announced to them that they should evacuate the area.
“Unfortunately they burned down several houses next to us! Once again we were not prepared… I don’t know who is to blame or who will take the blame! Good strength to the people fighting the fire and to those who lost a lifetime’s work!” states and describes the incident:
As he wrote “it is not my job to judge anyone on how to do their job but today’s incident I would like to share it!
As was normal all the residents and my parents were in a panic and while we had evacuated the houses and were several meters away from each other, ELAS police officer the first thing he came and said after we had to evacuate was to me:
«Let’s see how you run to leave when you fire come this way”. Those fascist people who feel they have power must disappear! He had the brains to think to say his intelligence when people were in a panic. In fact, he came out and grabbed me by the head, telling me about you, brother.
