The man who killed himself in Syntagma Square in central Athens on Wednesday morning has been identified as a 77-year-old pharmacist.
It has emerged that he left a note criticising the government and explaining his reasons for taking his own life.
“I
can’t find another way to react apart from putting a dignified end to
things before I start looking through garbage in order to survive and
before I become a burden for my child,” the note left by the pensioner
said, according to reports.
It is not clear if the 77-year-old had
the note with him or whether he left it somewhere for his family. It is
not yet known what kind of financial problems the pensioner may have
had.
The head of the Attica Pharmacists’ Union, Constantinos
Lourantos told Skai radio he knew the man, who was identified as
Dimitris Christoulas.
“He was a calm, family man,” said Lourantos.
In
the suicide note, Christoulas compares the Greek government to Second
World War administration led by army officer Georgios Tsolakoglou that
collaborated with Nazi occupiers.
