A Filipina maid told tsismosaonline.com yesterday 23 of September 2013 that she was working for a female employer in Thessaloniki city who constantly beat her for no reason and failed to pay three months wages to her.
"I'll send you the Golden Dawn ..." was the main threat of Thessaloniki employer to the filipina domestic worker.
Eventually many Greek hide a small "Golden Dawn " in them, and perhaps that is why as a Greek society we showed so much tolerance for criminal activity of this neo-fascist gang ...
Eloisa (not her real name), 30 years old from Philippines, said the job was her first as a domestic helper in Greece. She arrived at the Thessaloniki employer home on July 22, 2010. Her nightmare began when she moved with the Thessaloniki employer and their three children, aged three to 10, to their new flat in Panorama in October 2010.
Eloisa said threw away all her clothing, including her underwear, leaving her with nothing to wear. then gave her some oversized old clothing, but no underwear or bras. Eloisa said also cut off all her hair, and wanted to cut it again when it began to grow back. When Eloisa refused, threatened her with a box-cutter and said: "If you do not cut it off, I will kill you." Then slashed her forearm and her waist with the blade, showing the scars on her arm to the tsismosaonline.com reporter.
In the new flat, Eloisa said she was allowed to sleep only in the kitchen. She worked seven days a week, was not allowed any holiday, and never got paid what they promise to her but very small amount.
The employer constantly assaulted her, sometimes hitting her in the back of the head with wire hangers, or in the mouth with the heel of her shoe. She also used a hot iron to scald her cheek and forearm. She said on one occasion, used plastic cable ties to tie her to a chair and then beat her about the face with a 2-1/2 foot bicycle chain. Eloisa said the beating was very painful and that she lost a piece of a front tooth.
Eloisa said most of the acts of violence directed at her appeared to be for no reason. She said that while she was working , she was not allowed to leave the flat alone. She could leave only when the employer took her out with the children. She had no key to the flat and the employer kept her passport in a secret hiding place.
Between June 27 and July 1 last year, the family went on holiday to Thailand. Eloisa said that before leaving, they did not leave any food and water for her until the family returned from their holiday she was alone and starving for 5 days.
Eloisa said the situation became even worse and the lady employer of Panorama Thessalinikis thrash her because she dared to ask her to pay three months she owed ..."I'll send you the Golden Dawn ..." was the main threat to her.

The Golden Dawn in Thessaloniki has a long history. Some in this city they must reported to police , arrested and go to jail as a future criminals and neo-nazi.
