Hercules issued an angry statement against the police, denouncing provocative behavior during the match against Amyntas for the Elite League.
The “blues” emphasize that they will ask for an explanation for the attitude of the Police Authorities, saying characteristically that “acts of uncritical retaliation will find us against you”.
Hercules’ announcement:
“G.S. Herakles expresses his intense anger and condemns the unacceptable attitude of the Hellenic Police, during yesterday’s basketball match for the Elite League Hellenic BasketBall Federation between HERACLES and Amydas at #ivanofeio, one of the few closed gyms in the country that here and years is filled with people and life.
It is questionable that the Police chose to act in this way, with the MAT forces indiscriminately hurling threats, for unspecified reasons, at those who were heading towards the stadium at that time, thus obstructing the sporting and financial activities of the Association.
What essentially prevented the worst and the creation of any scene of generalization of the tension, despite the characteristic provocation of the policemen, was the admirable maturity and composure shown by the friends of our group.
We express our support to the people of Herakles and congratulate them as they kept their cool and did not respond to the provocations of the police forces.
We call on every political and sporting authority, as well as those responsible for order measures, to analyze the root cause of the violence in the stadiums and above all to review their own attitude towards the problem, looking for the persons who incite and incite it and, ultimately , they exploit it for their own purposes.
Acts of uncritical revenge will find us facing you!
In the next period, we will seek a meeting with the officers of the Thessaloniki Police Department, so that they can explain to us the reasons that led to this attitude and the use of force against the people of Herakles, but also to ensure that this does not happen again in the future».
