“provocative attack”

“This is a provocative attack by 4 people. They entered the Giantes restaurant while Yanis Varoufakis was with the coordinating committee of Diem25 (they are in Greece for a three-day conference). From the first moment they filmed the attack, they talk about a brutal attack by people who were almost professionals (dressed in black). Varoufakis is in Evangelism” said a representative of MeRA 25.
