During the visits, which were organised on the occasion of Police
Day and St. Michael's Day, the party officials extended their best
wishes to the protesters and supported what they said were their
just efforts to have their status resolved.
The unassigned policemen last week again requested the government
and the interior ministry to explain to them the criteria under
which they were dismissed and to define their status. They also
urged parliamentary deputies to initiate a debate on the matter at
the last session of the current parliament.
Since their dismissal more than a year and a half ago, some 30 of
around 600 unassigned and sacked policemen have been protesting in
turns in the chapel of St. Mark's Church near the government
building.
