This is going from bad to worse
Thursday, 16 September 2010
Around twenty Macedonian trucks transiting from Athens to Solun were vandalized by local truckers at the outskirts of Volos.
This is not the first time, though in the latest case local police was involved in helping the vandals. Volos police pulled over Macedonian truckers to supposedly check their documents. When everything was said and done nine trucks had flat tires and scracthes even though none of the trucks carried the MK insignia.
"It's horrible transiting through Greece. Their police either doesn't do anything or they are involved in the attacks. It's ludicrous, yet I have to drive here every week" said one of the driver.
There was another absurd and brazen attack on Macedonian truckers at a parking lot in Volos. While the Macedonians were having lunch, their trucks were vandalized to levels not seeing before; with their gas supplies cut, tempering with break lines etc.
"We have filed a formal complaint to Greece's police and to our Embassy in Solun. These people are nuts. The border police is causing problems for us on daily basis. They have asked me for money and all sorts of bribes to allow my truck an entry." says an upset trucker who needed two days to fix his truck and return home.
