Vyronas, Athens: Early in the morning of Thursday, October 18th, the branches of Eurobank, Agrotiki Bank, Proton Bank, Hellenic Postbank and Millenium Bank that are located in Kolokotroni Street, were ‘reformed’ by a group of anarchists who threw colours on facades, signboards and ATMs. In their claim of responsibility, the anarchist group points out: ‘… on the verge of a 48hour general strike we chose to attack the branches of local loan sharks, thus giving a simple and understandable response to the oppressors of our lives.’
Kavala, northern Greece: The premises of the Labour Centre are under occupation since the afternoon of October 18th.

A general assembly of workers will be held on Wednesday after the end of the demo, while the building of the Labour Center will serve as a counter-information centre where also screenings and collective kitchens will be held during the two days of the general strike.
