According to today΄s unanimous decision of the presidents of the plenary of the lawyers associations held in Athens, lawyers continue their strike until next Tuesday, January 17, which is when the steering committee of the session of chairmen will convene to reassess the situation and decide on the future of the strike.
According to Proto Thema, lawyers will abstain from their duties in protest of:
-the multi-bill regarding the speeding up of the administration of justice
-the further opening of law firms
-the new taxation regulations
-the increase in insurance contributions
Lawyers have been strongly opposed to some of the changes taking place due to the Troika’s intervention for some time now, including the “opening” of their profession and judicial reform bills.
