His personal experience of the "haircut" of deposits in Cyprus was shared by the famous singer, Michalis Hatzigiannis at the press conference of the Laiki Bank depositors' association.
In his speech, Mr. Hatzigiannis stressed that the depositors of Laiki Bank were the biggest victims of the financial turmoil that hit the country in March 2013 and added that "the size of victimization in semi-divided Cyprus can not be measured by the amount of the deposit I lost. "
"Except for the perpetrators of the crime, the rest of us lost money, jobs, businesses, and our children who were hospitalized. We have lost savings that we have created drop-drops, most of them for the sake of our children's families. Fortunately, the institution of the family is still in our country. And we all have learned from the primary school to save, "he continued.
"We also saved ourselves in order to have security, in a difficult situation, or for those days we could not work. In order not to become one's weight and the most important, in order to maintain our dignity to the end, "the singer stressed.
"Whether we are former Laiki depositors, whether they are holders of securities or just borrowers, we are victims of the same mass crime. The crime that cuts our future, reduces our quality of life and violates our dignity, "Mr. Hatzigiannis said to conclude:" However, the homeland is not the perpetrators, the rulers and the concelebrations of the intercessors. Homeland is us! The many. We submit work, soul and love to the place and that we must not allow, leave us without houses, without lives and without a future. And yes it is in our hands! "
