Then I worked. I went to Kalamata, I was without a job for 2 months. Then a family took me for…they had a grandpa and grandma and I looked after them. I had a health problem I couldn’t handle it, I mean I didn’t sleep at night and I was getting worse there. So, I decided to come to Athens. Then I looked for a job but I didn’t have papers. Then I made a fake Romanian document and worked in the hospital. Then I went to another house, they had twins, but it was very hard there. The lady was very strict. From the hospital I left because I had my papers stolen. A Georgian woman did it again. When I left the house, I went to a cafeteria. I worked there. And there I had problems with my papers again. Once the police came and I hid. Then my boss told me to sort my papers out or leave, do something because we were in trouble. I left and I went to a bar. I worked at 2 bars. From 2 in the afternoon until 10 at one and from 12 until the next morning at the other one. And there they caught me. I was working there for 2 weeks. There is no point in keeping us here 3, 4 and 5 months and then give me a paper for one month to ask for political asylum. But even if I get a red card what can I do? If you don’t give me a work permit how I work? Always will have problems. And then you, the government, tells me to go and steal, do something bad to survive in Greece. Why do they keep me here then? I’ll look for a job when I go out, something. I have an acquaintance that comes here and he says he can find me a job. Because I don’t want to go back where I was arrested. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I can’t tell. I’m not planning anything. I need to get out of here alive first. I am scared. When I was out I was scared when I saw the police, I went crazy. And in here it is hell. Now that I know everything and when they caught me, I thought I was going to be sent back to my country, I was sure that in 2 months I would come back here. I mean I’m talking just about me. I would do it again 100%. Nino, Georgian national, detained in the Petrou Ralli detention centre (extracts from an interview in 2011) While matters look bleak, in Greece and elsewhere, as the politics of the right continues to grow, as the world confronts the economic and social costs of the Covid-19 pandemic, as wars, climate change and poverty are the reality for millions of people around the world, the epilogue pulls the threads of the thesis together, insisting that the only moral response to mobility, must always be cage free. 35
