Depositors Demand Answers from Political Parties Over 2013 Bail-In

The Association of Laiki Bank Depositors (SYKALA) and the Association of Bank Bondholders (SYKATA) have sent a letter to political parties expressing their outrage over the impunity surrounding the lost deposits in 2013. In their letter, they demand specific answers and proposals for restoring the injustice they suffered. They point out that despite changes in government, no one has been held accountable for the 2013 financial crime, while those responsible continue to move freely. Furthermore, they criticize the insensitivity of the institutions, citing the demand for legal fees to be paid by the victims themselves. They also highlight the underutilized real estate assets allocated to the National Solidarity Fund, which could help compensate the victims.
