On Saturday afternoon a Golden Dawn «assault squad» comprised of about 80 members marched to the scene of Pavlos Fyssas’ murder and ripped down a memorial banner, before assaulting the nearby Resalto squat. The neo-Nazi gang also dropped leaflets and spray painting nationalist slogans.
Video footage and eye witness report from the assault shows that police units maintained a passive stance and did not intervene in the attacks. After the attack against the squat was repelled, about 400 squatters, anarchists and local residents organized an anti-fascist demonstration in Amfiali.
The Fyssas family issued a statement condemning the attack and noted that “it is obvious that their goals is not just to bully and terrorize our family, but Greek society as a whole and they are a knife wound to us all, as well as a knife wound to the existence and function of universal human values”.
