Ces citoyens, qui ont acquitt
é leurs cotisations durant trente, voire quarante ans, n'ont toujours pas vu le terrain auquel ils ont droit, car les autorités grecques classe
nt — selon leur bon plaisir — de grandes parties du pays comme «zones boisées», prenant ainsi ces c
itoyens «en otage», bien que l'État lui‑même ait officiellement reconnu l'existence des coopératives et leur droit de propriété sur les terrains qu'elles ont acquis
...[+++] légalement.
These citizens have paid their contributions for 30 or 40 years without yet seeing the property to which they are entitled, since the Greek authorities, acting entirely at their own whim, have designated large areas of the country as ‘woodland’, thereby holding these citizens ‘hostage’, despite the fact that the State has officially recognised the existence of such cooperatives and their property rights over the land which they have legally acquired.
