I’ve been meaning to write you this letter for a while, from the moment I heard about Alex’s murder… but there had been no time for love letters so far. There was no time to think, no time to write. Since it all happened you had been on fire. How can you hand a letter [...]

UPDATE, 19:41 Mainstream media now report that the riot police van in Goudi received 7 shots, not 2. A group calling itself “Popular Action” (Λαϊκή Δράση) has claimed responsibility for the attack. The student demonstration in central Athens ended an hour ago. There was a very good turnover and the demo was relatively peaceful; one [...]
UPDATE, 23.59 All is quiet at the polytechnic – as quiet as they can be here. No cops in sight. Speakers are blasting ‘guns of brixton’.
