Anticapitalists Storm Greek Parliament Courtyard

A general outcry over the domino occupation and squatting, the movement of anti-authoritarians has initiated, in the last few days, to show their solidarity with the group squatting the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens for three days. The anti-authoritarians were actually able to protest within the courtyard of the House of Parliamnet itself. Immediately the government spokesperson and other political figures took a stance. Mr. Sakellaridis, in a statement called the act "provocative and incomprehensible," while asking for attention and calm from all sides, since as he characteristically underlined "There is a hunger strike in progress." Specifically, the statement says: " Todays invasion of the Parliament forecourt area by the antiauthoritarians is both provocative and incomprehensible. Such actions give rise to arguments against a human prison system. This invasion operates against the decision of the government to unravel the bars of shame from the forecourt of Parliament area, a decision that we will still uphold. The government has already from their programmatic statements announced the abolition of type C prisons and a more humane prison system. The bill is enroute for the vote. So whose favored by such actions? In such times we should all be extremely careful and calm as there is a hunger strike in progress. The government consistently works toweards the protection of human life, upholding the rule of law and ensuring the rule of law. " Earlier, the President of the House, Zoe Konstantopoulou responded to reporters's concern that the anti-authoritarians were able so easily to go into the yard with a snide comment: "You are upset because some people complained?" She then asked reporters to wait for the official announcement which will give answers.
