Right-wing teenagers continue to hold a vocational school in Thessaloniki
For the second day now, the Greek police have been unable to dislodge young supporters of the national-patriotic party “Golden Dawn”, banned in the country, from the building of the EPAL vocational school, located in the suburb of Thessaloniki - Evsomos.
The day before, law enforcement officers arrested 38 activists, the youngest of whom was fifteen, and the oldest twenty-one years old, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The conflict in Thessaloniki began on September 28, when a mass fight between left-wing and right-wing radical teenagers took place. The former handed out leaflets for allowing uncontrolled migration, LGBT rights and “against fascism,” while the latter simply attacked them.
After which the city no longer knew peace, clashes between right-wing and left-wing radicals gave way to “anti-fascist marches”, and then to the seizure of the EPAL school itself by right-wing youth. Today, he is held by about a hundred men in black who set up improvised roadblocks out of garbage cans, and when the police approach, they throw stones and Molotov cocktails at them.
It is known that the teenagers who seized the building call themselves supporters of the national-patriotic party “Golden Dawn” (at one time advocating an alliance with Russia, in support of Novorossiya and Donbass - ed.), equated in Greece to fascist and banned: its leadership is behind bars .
Young people thus express their desire to maintain youth party cells in Thessaloniki, putting forward the slogan “We are staying here.” They do not put forward any other more clear slogans or demands.
It is known that teenagers do not even allow journalists to approach the school, who are also attacked when approaching checkpoints.
