Some took advantage of the magnitude of the concentration and found an opportunity to attack police forces. This was stated by ELAS Press Spokesman, Mr. Dimoglidou, speaking to ERTnews about the rallies in many major cities across the country and the following episodes.

“Unfortunately, some, taking advantage of the size of the concentration, found an opportunity to attack the police forces. What the Greek Police tried to do with the forces involved in class measures was to remove the world and guide it in three different directions to leave Syntagma Square, where we saw these people appear. “ Ms. Dimoglidou stressed and added:

“These people were not grouped from the beginning, but we saw during the gathering moving among the citizens and when the city’s signs were completed, they are grouped, to cover their characteristics and then coordinated attacking the police forces.”

“The Greek Police, of course, have essentially chose to accept the pressure of these people so that we can ensure that the world, the rest of the protesters will safely leave the spot.” Ms Dimoglidou said.

Why did ELAS used aquifers

Concerning the use of ELAS aquifers in Syntagma Square, Ms Dimoglidou stressed that the milder medium was chosen by the use of water to remove people who caused incidents. “These people were among the concentrated people, so there could be no other action by the Greek Police preventively“He noted.

She stressed that more than 120 appeals have been made and so far 27 of them have been amended to arrests. “The number of arrears continues, of course, as some people remain in the wider area of ​​the center and where problems are found to be arrested, they are arrested by police.” he said.

“We noticed during the aberrations that these people were not moving grouped, but either alone or by two, so you understand that their movement was not massive to find out by the police that they were moving to integrate with the crowd.“He concluded.
