Strategy of Tension rears its head again in Greece?

anarchist | 29.06.2010 18:11

Following the Greek bomb which hit the office of the minister of public order, killing one police officer last week, another spate of bombings has targeted both union leaders and a policeman in Thessaloniki. Is there more to this than meets the eye?

Greek papers are reporting that 3 fire bombs targeted 2 unionists and 1 copper yesyerday 29 june. Why these 2 targets of the left and right? Could this be a classic ‘strategy of tension’ tactic as used previously by the Greek state to foster division and discredit anarchists and the left. Is history repeating itself? Only speculation I know, but history demands that we raise these questions.

Firebombs target unionists, policeman in Thessaloniki

'Police in Thessaloniki yesterday were seeking the perpetrators behind three bomb attacks, two on unionists and one on the home of a policeman, none of which caused injuries. A homemade explosive device planted outside the eighth-floor apartment of Sotiris Zarianopoulos, the general secretary of a local labor union, near the city center, detonated shortly before 2 a.m. At around the same time, a similar device went off outside the home of a policeman in the district of Ambelokipi. Shortly after 11 a.m. another homemade bomb went off outside the home of a former unionist in central Thessaloniki. The target of the attack was Dimitris Gousidis, the former head of the union representing journalists in Macedonia and Thrace. All three attacks caused limited damage but led to no injuries.'
