Right now there are fights both in Athens and Thessaloniki.
In thessaloniki thousands of protestors attacked the ministry of north greece and thrace. The city centre is closed to all traffic and the streets taken over since 11am. Small fights between people and riot-cops... big groups of 30 civil police each are walking through the centre as well.
In athens there are fights in a few spots of Athens and especially in the parliament and around the polytechnic school.
THE UNBELIEVABLE IS THAT THE RIOT COPS APPEARED AT THE FUNERAL OF ALEXIS!
Thousands of people were at the cemetary of Faliro silent in front of the dead 15 year old student.
Suddenly squads of riot police appeared in the area around the cemetary, some young people verbally attacked them and then the riot cops attacked and arrived at the gates of the cemetary using teargas and the usual chemicals!!!
The funeral is on live broadcast on some TV channelsm, even from helicopter coverage.
Thousands (more than 5000 thousand) are encircled in the cemetary.
The last half an hour peope from the cemetary attempt to break the siege.
SPREAD THE NEWS! WE WRITE FROM INSIDE OCCUPATIONS AND BECAUSE OF THE FIGHTS WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO SEND THE NEWS EVERYWHERE.
