In the afternoon of January 9th, amid harsh repressive operations in Athens, nearly 100 comrades in Ioannina decided to give a first enraged response in the face of these events, and attacked the city’s courthouse with paint bombs in solidarity with both squats in Athens that are under police siege, but also in solidarity with every other self-managed space that was hit by repression lately – like Delta squat in Thessaloniki, Xanadu social space in Xanthi – across Greece and beyond. During their action, they threw paint also on the infamous politician and large estate owner Kalogiannis – a MP with Nea Dimokratia (the main party of the current tripartite government) for the region of Ioannina – who happened to be walking by.
