Greece, Heraklion: 1,000 anarchists march

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”.
