The only thing that finally Yesterday, the 47th anniversary of the uprising of the Polytechnic students, strongly recalled the pre-pandemic era. The “traditions” were not lacking either. chemically, neither him intensity and the counterclaims between the Greek police forces and the protesters, while the “agenda” for this year’s celebration was added this year crowding that feeds the coronavirus, which in turn caused just yesterday the loss of 63 human lives in the country.

Prioritizing, however, revolutionary gymnastics as a higher priority than the pandemic, as a result KKE, MERA25 and secondarily SYRIZA did not avoid the temptation of the anniversary events for the uprising, although the decision of the leader of EL.AS had been carried out. for a three-day rally ban, fearing further spread of the virus.

Challenging her relevant order, but also the high viral load in Attica, Some 200 members of the KKE met yesterday morning shortly after 10 am at the “Megaro Mousikis” station. from the subway, protesting in front of the United States Embassy in Mavili Square and then marching towards Freedom Park. Moving to the limits of legality, many of the protesters in the KKE bloc had moved from their homes, having previously send a text message to 13033 with code 1, that is, the transition to Alexandra Hospital, making, that is, making massive use of the possibility of going to the doctor ως as an emergency, with Perissos declaring ignorance of the sending of SMS by its members.

At the same time, at approximately the same time in Eleftherias Park a second meeting of KKE members was planned, but also the “event of honor and memory” of the official opposition, where 50 SYRIZA executives (Deputies, union representatives and youth), led by the party president, Alexis Tsipras, They paid tribute, in the presence of the 1973 Student Coordination Committee resistance, with Mr. Tsipras laying a wreath after the event.

But it is like this KKE outside the U.S. Embassy, ​​as well as SYRIZA in the EAT ESA building fully complied with health protocolsthat is to say More expensive Y distances, as the Minister of Civil Protection commented, Michalis Chrysochoidis, remembering, after all, that EL.AS’s decision did not ban political events, but the marches and concentrations of more than 4 people. In this light, until the early hours of noon, the images broadcast by the media from the center of Athens were images absolute respect for the memory of the fallen, but also of the day, that is, a critical day for the outcome of the pandemic in Greece.

With the fewest people on your block, MERA25 held a protest march and a sit-in in front of the United States Embassy, headed by the Party Secretary, Giannis Varoufakis and 6 of his deputies to incriminate him. Crossing the Polytechnic in Patision on Stadiou street, MERA25 executives went to Vasilissis Sofias avenue, at the height of EAT ESA, to hold a protest sit-in. “MERA25 honored the precautionary measures, convincing its members NOT to go down the road, but to be represented by 7 deputies. “Mr. Chrysochoidis piled on the children of ELAS to violate the Constitution, preventing us!” said the party secretary, however, Yanis Varoufakis, with his MPs complaining that the forces of EL.AS. are lined up on a wall, denying them access to the United States Embassy, ​​even when traffic for citizens was fully restored.

The situation, however, exploded, when the meeting of KKE protesters shortly after one in the afternoon, revealing the “business plan” of Perissos to carry out three -at least- concentrations during yesterday, the last one at noon in the Propylaea, with the aim that the protesters arrive at the Polytechnic, cross Panepistimiou street and arrive at the Omonias square. At exactly the same time, I was protesting and PAME Thessaloniki, after having organized a march earlier with the participation of representatives of SFEA, unions and student associations, in front of the United States Consulate in Thessaloniki, where shortly after 2 pm, Protesters burn the American flag.

The thermometer, however, on the University road showed Red, when the police forces asked the assembled protesters to leave as well meetings were prohibited, resulting in tense scenes. The protesters refused to leave the road and tensions prevailed that ostracized the party representative. Thanasis Pafilis, but also others KKE deputies ποyou were present, while EL.AS. proceeded to 5 adductions.

“She was here waiting. They didn’t do anything.” supported Mr. Koutsoubas, while according to Perissos party media Was a “Unprovoked attack”. Follow wiretap of Mr. Pafilis to the Vice Minister of Civil Protection, Lefteri Oikonomou, At the request of immediate release of the accused, opera and it was finally done. Despite the temporary relief of the situation, shortly after 2:30 p.m. the focus of tension at the University was rekindled, with the “Aiants” by EL.AS. to splash water while protesters I ran towards Omonia Square and Karaiskaki in Metaxourgio, with strong police forces following them on foot. Apart from the MAT squads and the “auras”, a large number of ELAS motorcycles lined up at the University, with a clear intention to disperse the concentration, as happened an hour later, when around 3.30 the tension ceased.

A few hours later, Mr. gave his own version of the episodes. Chrysochoidis. Speaking to SKAI TV, the Minister of Citizen Protection described how “Do not imagine that the 1,500 (of the KKE) all came together. I am very disappointed that I have honored the KKE since I was a little boy. At a time when we have 95% of the ICU covered, a political party for the reasons you know, held a rally downtown with 1,500 people … and added that “These things do not exist. Ten times the mediator officer asked the leaders to leave, but that would never happen. There was no other option for the government and ELAS than to dissolve.” Imagine 1,500 people going through a pandemic in the city.

Responding, at the same time, to KKE objections for “Unprovoked attack” and demonstration of police violence“Everything will be investigated, not unilaterally against ELAS. COVID fines will be imposed on all those taken or detained, in addition to the criminal treatment of those who can go to the Prosecutor’s Office. noted Mr. Chrysochoidis, announcing how “And for Alexandros Grigoropoulos it is obvious that events like last year cannot take place.”

After the mergers “He ate his face!” government answered the Redundant, condemning him “Today’s Orgy of Government Authoritarianism, Police Violence, and Repression”, in your announcement, after the end of the episodes.

The KKE announcement:

“The KKE condemns the current orgy of government authoritarianism, police violence and repression.

The government and the police responded to a rally that exemplified public health protection measures with unnecessary and unprovoked attacks, provocations by MPs and KKE executives, the general secretary of the Party Central Committee, dozens of accusations and indictments.

The government has historical and criminal responsibilities. It turned out that protection against the pandemic was only a pretext, as the first to provocatively ignore the protection measures were the government, the state and repressive mechanisms.

The government’s goal is now obvious even to the most skeptical. He wants to hide behind the scenes of the conflict that establishes his responsibilities for the collapse of the public health system and for the lack of the necessary measures, which daily cost thousands of cases and dozens of deaths. He also wanted, under the pretext of the pandemic, to get rid of the militant and rebellious message of the Polytechnic.

He ate his face! Authoritarianism and government bans were effectively repealed. And the rally and the march took place in front of the American embassy. And in fact with the exemplary observance of all measures for the protection of public health.

Here and now to free all the accused. The government will find us in front of it every day, in the fight for health, life, work with rights.

On the side of the KKE regarding the release of the accused, SYRIZA was also open, with the party’s deputy, Alexis Haritsis, calling from the Parliament floor for the release of the detainees, transferring the tension to Parliament. “We broke the stupid ban and returned the provocative designs to their instigators. “Democracy and historical memory do not enter into quarantine,” said the SYRIZA president after the act of the party at EAT ESA, which was not attended by Pavlos Polakis, who was seen at the Polytechnic.

Having chosen not to attend the Polytechnic for the first time and observing the protective measures, Koumoundourou raised the tone even more last night, lifting the gauntlet of criticism from ND. “Mr. Mitsotakis, after losing all control in the face of the pandemic and the economic collapse, bet that he still has the illusion of control that repression and provocations left him,” Koumoundourou commented after sunset, concluding that “the authoritarianism that we live Athens and Thessaloniki are proof of the weakness and isolation of the government. Isolation above all in society that now understands that the government does not care about public health or the economic support that the times demand “.
