Shqipėria, vendi qė do tė integrohet nė BE dhe ėshtė anėtar i NATO-s, me bekimin e Greqisė shfaq edhe njėherė se nuk meriton tė jetė pjesėmarrėse nė institucionet euroatlantike, pėr arsye tė shkeljes sė tė drejtave themelore tė njeriut, si ato tė lirisė sė fjalės, tė vetėpėrcaktimit (tė kombėsisė) si dhe tė pronės.

Racism and Discrimination against
Immigrants and Minorities in Greece
the State of Play
Miltos Pavlou-April 2007
3. Racism, discrimination and reactive / pro-active policies
Antidiscrimination and anti-racism shortcomings
In early 2005 the anti-discrimination directives have been transposed into the Greek
legal order and a set of equality bodies with complementary mandates has been
provided, some of which do not fully conform to the Paris Principles. After two years
of implementation of the anti-discrimination legislation there are extremely few
discrimination cases within the field of the anti-discrimination law, almost all of them
handled by the Greek Ombudsman, which seems to be the only fully operative
Equality Body in Greece. No official case of racist violence and crime has been
recorded on the basis of the relevant anti-racist penal legislation (law 927/1979),
although violence against immigrants and minorities, in many cases by police
officers, is a reality.
The above depict a landscape of a problematic implementation of anti-racist and
anti-discrimination laws, due to institutional shortcomings and the underlying
attitudes.
Moreover, there is a lack of public mainstreaming, campaigning and promoting equal
treatment and anti-discrimination practices and attitudes through programs targeting
either specific groups or the general population.
Negative stereotypes against minority groups and legitimisation of racial violence
have proven difficult to extinguish. A football game between Greece and Albania
readily sets off racist tensions that lead to clashes between Greeks and Albanians
and even murders.
What raises concerns is that the episodes cannot be attributed to a few nationalist and fascist groups, but that they are legitimised through a mainstream anti-Albanian attitude, tolerated or shared by a large proportion of the Greek society.
The problem of police and portual corps violence against immigrants-refugees and
minorities is exacerbated by the fact that the internal police audit control and
investigations procedures often lead to the offenders impunity. Only in a very small
and insignificant number of cases has the investigation led to disciplinary measures,
while in the absolute majority the complaint cases close as unfounded.
Social research provides indications that weak antiracist attitudes especially by the
police may constitute the core of the problem. A survey published in 200610 based on
interviews with Greek police detectives, indicates the attitudes of Greek police
towards migrant communities and racist violence. The survey demonstrates that not
only are migrant communities, particularly the Albanian, viewed as hotbeds of crime,
but racist violence against these communities is not perceived as a significant
problem by the Greek police. The latter is usually indifferent to racially motivated
crimes and often view racist incidents as acts of self-defence by Greeks against the
criminal other. According to the author, a transformation of such attitudes would
require a public recognition of the widespread racism that exists in the Greek society.
It goes noted that in 2006, the Police Chief issued relevant circulars in order to
improve the situation while the police officers training programmes do include topics
about racism, xenophobia, minorities and racist discourse.
Through the Circular Order n.71100/4/3/24.05.06 entitled Confronting racism,
xenophobia and intolerance during police action police officers are ordered to
investigate eventual racist motivation in cases where immigrants or vulnerable group
members are involved. Through the Circular Order n.4803/22/210 N/26.06.06, the
Police Chief recommends the investigation of the eventual racist motivation in audit
and internal disciplinary investigations, therefore taking under consideration the
European Court of Human Rights Judgement in the Bekos and Koutropoulos vs.
Greece case.
As far as public opinion is concerned, after the killing of a young Albanian in Crete on
01.01.2006 an opinion poll by the V-PRC poll company commissioned for a national
radio network (Sky radio) showned that a large part of the public is reluctant to
condemn deadly violence against Albanian immigrants. The 44% of the interviewed
sample found the assassination to be an unjustified act, while 34% said that it is
also the Albanians fault (!). A significant 24% of the sample refused to respond at
all and therefore to give a judgment about the murder.
