CONSUL SAYS 'WAIT'

 

A company employee, who likes to stay anonymous, currently on board reached our agency  “No virus test was conducted in any port we went to. There are no doctors on board. Even the thermometer does not work, the nurse tells us. Drinking water is not drinkable anymore. Our wages were cut. The firm and the Greek Consul we reached told us: 'We can't do anything. We have to wait' But how long, nobody tells".

 

Reporting that they can reach food, drink and internet only by paying, the worker stated that neither the company nor the consul sent them any food or drinkable water.
