One-hundred and sixty-two people tried the sweet taste of democracy today, having being arrested, detained, dragged to police stations, humiliated, charged. The message is becoming crystal-clear: democracy takes no chances, it only takes prisoners. Democracy smashes into the spaces that annoy it to the slightest; it only democracy to invert history: the assassins become the victims, the victims become the villains.
But tomorrow is our day. Demonstrations have been called for in cities across the country (Mytilene, Heraklion, Larisa, Sparta, Agrinio, Thessaloniki, Kilkis, Corfu, Xanthi, Samos, Athens, Rhodes, Lamia, Serres, Volos, Giannena, Patras, Arta, Corinth, Kardisa).
In Athens, the main demonstration has been called for at 13.30 pm at Propylea. Live reports will be posted here.
