It is not often you hear such common sense remarks from a politician in Greece but the Mayor of Athens came out with the following over the weekend
The attitude of super strict and unfair regulation is typical of the Greek political establishment ie Greeks need government to protect them from themselves.
It is refreshing to see these type of comments coming from the Mayor of Athens, Yiorgos Kaminis.
I was expecting him to say how the laws were not tight enough and there needed to be more regulation but instead of treating the symptoms he has addressed the root cause of the problem, ie, why would brothels choose to be unlicensed and run the risk of fines when there is a legal avenue for them.
Clearly there is something wrong with the existing laws that makes it preferable for people to act outside the law.
Like I said, refreshingly, the Mayor of Athens, Yiorgos Kaminis seems to realise this.
His comments come on the back of a story about a sex worker who, appranetly, unknowingly had HIV.
