Attacked by 25 hooded men yesterday Saturday, October 25, 2025, the Makis Voridis and his family in Crete. The hooded men gathered while the former minister was having dinner with his family and friends in Heraklion, Crete, and started throwing eggs at him, cursing him and chanting slogans against him.

The riots caused serious material damage to the restaurant. Mr. Voridis it happened in a post about the attack he received, stating the following:

“Left-wing hooligans attacked me yesterday unprovoked in a restaurant in Heraklion, Crete, where I am on a private visit.

I know them and I am neither surprised nor frightened by their vile practices! I’ve lived like this my whole life. But they didn’t respect my family (my 12-year-old daughter was also there), nor the children of the families who gathered in the restaurant, without even being in our company.

Unfortunately, we still have a long way to go to root out far-left violence.”.

According to neakriti, several patrons tried to restrain the hooded men, while others turned verbally against Vorides himself, expressing their outrage at the danger they faced. The video, however, which was released shortly after, gave another dimension to the case, capturing the atmosphere of disturbance.
