The recent implementation of a Joint Ministerial Decision (KYA) in Greece has sparked significant backlash from the legal community, particularly regarding a provision that offers a €250 bonus to lawyers for each asylum seeker they persuade to withdraw their application for asylum. The decision, which critics describe as a "shameful" move, has been met with stern opposition from the Coordinating Committee of the Bar Associations, stating that it undermines legal ethics and encourages potential violations of the Constitution and the Lawyers' Code.
Lawyers have expressed concerns that this bonus structure places them in a conflicting position, effectively incentivizing them to advise clients to abandon their rights rather than providing comprehensive legal support. This has led to a call for non-participation in the implementation of the KYA, as they argue that fulfilling such roles would be unprofessional and contrary to their duties. The backlash highlights broader issues regarding the treatment of asylum seekers and the responsibilities of legal professionals in providing fair and just representation.
