Thessalonica demonstrations



So where the demonstrations at Thessalonica on the 21/6/03 a failure for the movement?Well on a international scale maybe it didn’t manage to alter many things but here in Greece it did manage to awaken a for a long time sleeping movement.After the incidents in Thessalonica a chain of reactions started with police stations and vehicles being attacked by anarchists with cocktail molotov bombs,ATM machines being burned down,even a bomb device that didn’t go off was discovered at a multinational insurance company.All of this actions has created quite an unrest in the circles of the Greek authorities as they see the anti-authority movement not only getting into action once again but also growing followed by more supporters.Of course only time will show if this is another momentarily situation or it will grow.Now back to the the Thessalonica demonstrations.It is true that the black block manage to stay on the streets only for about 20 minutes but it manage to show the strength and true-belief of 6.000 people fighting for another,free,world.When the head of the Greek riot police was asked by journalists why did 13.000 police let the anarchists not only to come down on the streets but also march in the city’s town he answered:”You don’t understand,they were not just some demonstrators not even hooligans they were FIGHTERS”.
