Members of collectives gathered outside Athens County Court and protested against the government's intention to lift the protection against the auctions of primary residences from January 1st, 2014, as demanded by foreign creditors.
This is a critical issue that concerns thousands of households, which in the period of crisis and memoranda fail to fulfill their obligations.
From January 1, 2014 , if no other arrangements, the conditional protection of primary residence and any other property from auctions, is lifted.
Besides the level of protection from auctions for debts up to 200,000 euros to banks is repealed.
At the same time there will be no protection for debts to the State and to Insurance Funds.
