Volos, Greece: Direct action against neo-Nazis of the ‘Golden Dawn’

On Sunday, April 8th, at about 14.00, a group of 25 neo-Nazis from ‘Chrissi Avgi/Golden Dawn’ attempted an intervention of pre-election propaganda in the area of Paralia (‘beach’) in Volos. Some estimated that most of the Nazi scum came from nearby towns, rather than the city of Volos itself.

As soon as the Nazi’s organized presence was reported, nearly 50 antifascists rushed to the area and confronted them. The reactions of many passersby were positive to this direct action, and several incited publicly the fight and the chase against the fascists.

After a few minutes, the goldendawners (among them was also at least one of their general election candidate for the regional unit of Magnisia) hid themselves in a nearby coffee shop in order to escape (the blows, but not their obvious humiliation).

Comrades gathered outside the café chanting antifascist slogans, but given the presence of a significant number of police who hurried to the place (4 DIAS police motorcycles, 5-6 cops of the port police and 3 patrol cars) they chose not to strike again.

The antifascists left dignified, while the coward patriots fled from the coffee shop assisted by their accomplices in uniform. Apparently (at least for the time being), the neo-Nazis have not proceeded with their vomiting propaganda and material distribution on any of the city’s streets.

Antifascist patrols continued during the afternoon, and comrades remain on full alert.
