A 5 year old child died in Evros, from a scorpion sting.
A policy can be right or left, economic or social, right or wrong. But one limit is insurmountable: Humanism. International Conventions, the Greek Constitution- among many others, a culture that took millennia to build, all demand respect for the value of human life.
A 5-year-old girl died in Evros four days ago from a scorpion sting and remains unburied, while her 9-year-old sister, who was also stung, is in danger and need of immediate help.
The burial and the life-saving intervention should have happened already; instead, those competent are looking to absolve themselves of responsibility. Letting a helpless person die in these circumstances is -among other things a crime. But this is not even the most serious one. No Greek, no European, no human being wants to be stigmatized by such shameful inaction. Even at this stage, the Greek state must intervene immediately.
