[Video] 40 Anarchists infiltrate & confront 5.000 right wingers in favour of austerity On days like these in June 2015, approximately 40 anarchists of the anarchist collective "Rouviconas" in Athens, defied the so called "majority" in the streets, infiltrated at the center of a right wing protest of approximately 5.000 "protesters",  demonstrating in favour of the EU and IMF austerity measures in front of the greek parliament in Syntagma square and burned several European Union flags, shocking the ultra conservative crowd. The Riot Police, governed by the self proclaimed left government of Syriza proceeded to arrest all of the anarchist protesters, verifying that Class War exists even in the so called right to protest.

Anarchists attack the greek parliament in solidarity to hunger striker D. Koufodinas Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_sZ9HBi-DU In the afternoon of May 21st 2019, anarchists of “Rouvikonas” collective “invaded” the grounds of the greek parliament (the most “secured” building in Greece) in the center of Athens and attacked the main parliament building with red paint and flares, in solidarity to prisoner Dimitris Koufodinas, who is on hunger strike since May 2nd 2019 (his health is in a critical and serious condition), whilst despite the fact that he has been jailed since 2003 and he is entitled to a temporary leave of two days, his petition has been denied on the grounds of his political beliefs (a revolutionary left advocate). During the past few weeks there has been a barrage of dozens of attacks on high-profile targets in solidarity to hunger strike Dimitris Koufodinas, including the U.S. ambassador’s home, banks, luxury shops, political offices and police stations.
