“Noise Causes Disruption” Says Phytiris – Sharp Response from ISOTITA

A public dispute has erupted between the Minister of Justice, Kostas Fytiris, and the ISOTITA trade union, following the Minister's statements regarding trade union reactions in the Police. Mr. Fytiris described the "noise" caused by the head of ISOTITA's police branch, Nikos Loizidis, as "disturbance and unrest" and proposed his placement in a front-line unit. The Minister also criticized the lack of "substantive social dialogue," emphasizing that reasonable requests should be considered with dignity and that excessive public dialogue has negative consequences. ISOTITA rejected the characterizations of "disturbance," emphasizing that trade union action and public intervention are an integral part of democratic functioning. ISOTITA also responded to the remarks about a possible transfer of Mr. Loizidis, emphasizing that he has served for years in front-line units and that these references do not reflect reality. This dispute highlights the tensions between the government and the police unions, regarding issues such as working conditions and the functioning of the Police. This case highlights the importance of dialogue and mutual understanding between the government and the trade unions, in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the Police and the protection of the rights of police officers.
