KATHIMERINI | “An Odyssey for the obvious”


Journalist Ioannis Papadopoulos from the newspaper KATHIMERINI writes about a great success of the Legal Service of the Athens Solidarity Center of SolidarityNow in the case of the young Androniki Kiftis.

“Androniki Kifti, the daughter of Albanian migrants, was born, grew up and completed her schooling in Greece, but in December 2020 the Decentralized Administration of Attica refused to renew her residence permit. She was deemed ineligible because she had been absent from Greek territory for a long time, despite being in the US for studies. Last April, after many years of agony, the Administrative Court of First Instance of Athens ruled that her application had been wrongly rejected”. The article here (only available in Greek).

*Since August 1st, 2023, the operation of the Athens Solidarity Center by SolidarityNow is supported by the Swiss-Greek Cooperation Programme Embassy of Switzerland in Greece / Πρεσβεία της Ελβετίας στην Ελλάδα to reducing economic and social disparities in the EU and by the Ministry of Migration and Asylum.
**The Center is also supported by the Municipality of Athens.
