The increase in delinquency and the lack of policing are causing a feeling of insecurity in many areas of Athens with residents locking themselves in their homes – They report being afraid to walk the streets after dark
His great research continues SKAI for the problems of everyday life, with an emphasis today on security. The increase in delinquency and the lack of policing are causing a feeling of insecurity in many areas of Athens with residents locking themselves in their homes. As they complain, they are afraid to walk the streets as soon as it gets dark.
CONCORD
The SKAI camera in the narrow streets of Omonia square. At 8 o’clock in the afternoon, drugs are used. The residents say that they are locked in their house from 8 pm because they are afraid. Businessmen are also afraid because they are robbed almost every day. So it seems that this area in the center of Athens, one street below the national theater is a place, not unbearable to live, but practically impossible, very dangerous.
Narrow dark and dirty…
And yet the images you are watching are from the city center at 9pm. Shutters closed, Blinds down. Images of abandonment.spooky for at least 5 blocks on the streets no one is recorded walking.
Time 10:30. Omonia has turned into a ghost town.
DEEP SQUARE
SKAI was placed on Favierou Street which, as you can see, is empty of people. It’s 9pm outside right now and there’s no one around except for a few drug addicts rummaging through the trash. There aren’t even any parked cars.
The situation recorded in Vathi Square is even more difficult. In every alley are concentrated drug addicts who, combined with the insufficient lighting, make the streets inaccessible.
CENTER OF ATHENS
And if one leaves the main streets in the center of Athens and wants to enter the narrow streets, he will see that many of them are very dark. What does this mean; Fear for permanent residents to move around here late at night. SKAI was found for about 3 hours in the center, we are doing an autopsy and what definitely comes out as a first conclusion is that almost no one moves around at night, mostly women and children.
SKAI’s trek continues at night in Athens and reaches Agios Panteleimon. The same picture is found here. Most of the streets are dark, police according to citizens are nowhere to be found and it is difficult for those who say they avoid moving around the area at night.
Streets like this one in Agios Panteleimons create a feeling of insecurity.
Citizens do not feel safe. Their quality of life is degraded, and they feel anger and indignation at the indifference of the competent services.
