Daughter of Missing Person: 'We are Exhausted' - A Cross Over a £60 Check

Georgia Pavlou, daughter of a person missing since 1974, gave a harrowing testimony on the show “Mesimeri Kai Kati” about the difficulties her family has faced for decades in their pursuit of justice. The family lost their father in the war and their mother dedicated herself to raising their four children without substantial state support. The problem resurfaced when her mother needed financial assistance, which was rejected on the grounds that she did not meet the requirements. The family discovered, after a long wait, that in her file there was a check for £60 with a large “X” on it, meaning the benefit was definitively denied. Ms. Pavlou denounced arbitrariness, lack of communication between services, and violations of human rights, while also mentioning omissions in her father's social security. She expressed her outrage at the years of hardship and the ironic treatment by the authorities.
