The Police proceeded to ban any gathering that may take place in the prefecture of Attica from 6 am on 1-11-2023 to 6 am on 2-11-2023, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the fatal wounding of two Golden Dawn members.

As pointed out in the announcement, the ban is imposed as there is a serious risk to public safety, due to the possible commission of serious crimes, especially against life, bodily integrity and property, from the holding of meetings and “counter-meetings” by groups of opposing positions.

The relevant GADA announcement in detail:

“It is announced that by Decision of the General Police Director of Attica, any public outdoor gathering is prohibited on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the fatal wounding of two members of Golden Dawn, from 06:00 on 1-11-2023 until 06:00 ‘ of 2-11-2023, in the Prefecture of Attica (excluding the Argosaronic Islands).

The above prohibition is imposed as there is a serious risk to public safety due to the possible commission of serious crimes, in particular against life, bodily integrity and property, from the holding of assemblies and ‘counter-assemblies’ by groups of opposing positions.

In addition, there is a serious threat of disruption of socio-economic life, both in the areas where gatherings have been announced, and in the rest of the Attica Prefecture, where similar gatherings are likely to take place, as well as the simultaneous presence in a climate of polarization of concentrated groups.

The Decision has been posted on ‘Diaygeia’ and on www.hellenicpolice.gr in the special banner for Decisions of police services regarding gatherings, gatherings, marches”.
