Residents of Kozani, Greece, are turning to the Consumer Protection Center and other institutions after their bank accounts were seized by the Kozani municipality just before Christmas. These actions stem from recent legislative changes related to debt collection. The citizens dispute the legality of seizing exempt income like salaries and pensions, and claim that some old debts should be considered expired. Legal experts highlight potential violations of basic rights concerning unseizable and expired debts, urging residents to negotiate their debts despite the implications.
