Christos Markoyannakis (pictured, centre) is a vice-minister for the Greek government. Mr Markoyanakis is head of the Vice-Ministry of Public Order – and he certainly does not lack the experience to fill the position. He launched his pubic sector career being appointed in the position of attorney general during the dictatorship (1967-1974). Old habits die hard: In the picture below, Mr Markoyanakis is chatting to the so-called “residents’ initiative” of the Ayios Panteleimonas neighbourhood in Athens. The front group for the neo-fascists of the Golden Dawn (Chrysi Augi), have imposed an Apartheid-style rule in the neighbourhood: Locking up the local playground “because it was used by migrants’ children” they chase away migrants from the area. Mr Markoyanakis visited yesterday (9 July) to offer his support to the “residents’ initiative”. Apparently one of the questions he was asked during this meeting was “how come he hasn’t yet evicted the Villa Amalias squat”. Villa Amalias is one of Athens’ longest-standing squats. Only minutes after Markoyanakis visited, a group of fascists tried to attack Villa Amalias with molotov cocktails. They were pushed back by anarchists defending the occupation. Even being backed up by the cops (Riot police and the newly-introduced “Delta” motorcycle force) the fascists failed in their attack.
To sum up: A junta-appointed attorney general and present government minister meets with a “residents’” group widely known to be a fascist front. Minutes after the meeting, fascists attempt to attack the local anarchist squat, backed by police force. Sometimes, the line between fascism and democracy is much, much thinner than we’d ever think.

Fascist bastards, their idea of democracy always involves having their foot on somebody’s throat

kalinichta malakas!
i’ve always loved greece and boycoted turkey for not taking responsibility for the genocide of the armenians, kurds and the greeks in little asia plus giving hitler an example: “who cares about the armenians nowadays anyway?” he said!
BUT now i think why not boycot greece? already 10% less in tourist numbers and i’m not that much sure about, it goes with that socalled crisis… (as long as i see folks driving cars i dun see crisis!)
hopefully that minister meets his minister of public disorder next time he gots his dick in some illegal mouth
cut by teeth!
someone should tell obama to invade greece before the c.i.a. gets involved! but obama sucks dick of the proto-faschists in turkey, russia, italy and france.
this little onkle tom gots no time for foreign policies cuz he doesn’t know where to deport all the european rooted “americans”… IT’S INDIAN LAND!
the u.s.a. is still an illegal substate of europe that stole everything away! just look at a teuton feeding his folks with potatoes… potatoes are not deutsch they are indian!
the only chance to destroy the system is to destroy all cars cuz the car-industry is the main power of capitalism since henry ford. and one has to do so quick before they have changed everything into bikes. see: 2 degrees maximum is still 2 degrees too much, since hurricane mitch (=genocide) there is no allowance for cars and planes possilble!
think: in the belly of the beasts we will never fight as a majority cuz we are all part of the 1st world overpopulation, an imperial overpopulation in complicance with imperialism
