On January 26, a demonstration in solidarity with squats under attack across Greece saw approximately 1,000 anarchists gather and march through the streets of Heraklion, in what might very possibly be the largest anarchist demonstration in the history of the city (fourth largest in the country, with a population just under 200k). Along with the slogans in solidarity with the squats under attack, such as Villa Amalias and Skaramanga, the demonstrators also shouted slogans referring to the recent incident involving DIAS police and their murderous intent. One of the slogans translates as “at the road-checks, at the road-checks, they’re killing kids – the scum of DIAS, the hounds of the state”.

Its clear that the insurrection of 2008 will repeat its self in the streets of greece… It is only a matter of time before the people of greece rise again… My question is when though what are people waiting for you have 10,000 anarchists marching thourgh the streets of athens and 1,000 marching thorugh crete and minor clashes if none are reported it seems werid to me coming from the country that was brought to a stand still in december 2008 the country that brought us images of burning banks and 1000s of masked youths clashing with police all over the city.
Didn’t the demo took place on January 25th, not 26th?
