It\u2019s commissioned by a Holy Bishopric. They knew from the start that they were breaking the law, but they didn\u2019t care.<br \/>\nAfter all, laws are meant to be followed only by law-abiding citizens.<br \/>\nThe building, intended to be a monastery, was halfway completed without any authority reacting. This is similar to the construction of a cove in the area of Ammos Kamouri.<br \/>\nRocks were cut with heavy machinery to build the cove in front of Joe Lo\u2019s mansion, who had previously donated \u20ac300,000 to the Church (as well as in front of other mansion owners), but no one took notice.<br \/>\nFor the illegal construction, an illegal fundraiser was also held.<br \/>\nTen euros for one raffle ticket, with incentives (apart from the master\u2019s blessing and perhaps some favourable treatment in the afterlife), a gold medallion of Saint Christopher worth \u20ac1500 for the lucky winner, and other lavish gifts.<br \/>\nPerhaps olive oil, belts, small icons, amulets, to keep us from straying from sanctity.<br \/>\nIn a parallel universe, the government rents a piece of land to a private individual for \u20ac6,000 per year. The individual builds a structure on the plot to use it as a factory.<br \/>\nAt some point, after halting the factory operations, the individual sublets the structure to the government (to which the land belongs) for \u20ac135,000 to be used as a storage facility for the Pharmaceutical Services.<br \/>\nAnd while over time the structure is deemed unsuitable for storing drugs, the contract is renewed until 2045. Until God takes pity on us and sends a lightning bolt to wake us up.<br \/>\nAnd when we wake up and realise what\u2019s happening around us, our leaders tell us, \u201cthe safety of the drugs is a priority, don\u2019t ask about the rest.\u201d<br \/>\nIf they cared so much about the safety of the drugs, why did they pay for years to expose them to heat and rain? Even now that they\u2019ve been destroyed, they tell us, \u201cthe damage wasn\u2019t that big, only \u20ac880,000.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd while all these events blatantly prove that we live in a mafia state (and not just a banana republic as we thought), it took 9 hours of testimony from Makarios Drosiotis to convince the investigative committee that we live in a mafia state, as titled in his book.Illegal Construction. protected area, illegal construction, government<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An insensitive structure resembling a warehouse was built in a protected area by a Holy Bishopric, breaking the law.
