In the city of Thessaloniki, at Eptalofos square comrades that were distributing pamphlets against the elections during their sound system intervention clashed with members of the Stalinist KKE party.

In the island of Gavdos (south of Crete) the general assembly of the permanent residents of the island decided to abstain from the regional elections in order to protest against the terms of the contest for the boat line that connects Gavdos and Crete.
In the city of Patras, comrades attacked members of the neo-Nazi party when they saw them moving around the central streets trying to perform their propaganda of hatred. The neo-Nazi scums found a shelter in the police department and escaped towards unknown destination by a police car. No surprise of course for the collaboration between cops and fascists.
We should mention that the electoral abstention throughout Greece was more than 40%, while in Athens was 57% and more than 60% and 70% in many municipalities and regions.
