The rise of Nazi Greece, first they came for the immigrants, then they came for the Roma, then they came for------!!! The Peloponnese, idyllic. Kalamata, quiet picturesque beauty, not the sort of places in "civilised" Europe that you would expect state terrorism to be open and so blatantly displayed. Then again, there is a class war going on.
Thursday, August 1, 2013Riot police squads that arrived from Athens have been conducting operations against the Roma population across the Peloponnese for the past few days. On Monday, the riot police flattened Roma camps in the Corinth prefecture, before moving to Messinia (and its capital, Kalamata) on Tuesday and then operating further in the prefectures of Argolida and Arkadia on Wednesday.
“prevention” of crime as the reasons why the Roma houses came under attack – an open and direct racist attack against them. On Tuesday alone, 623 Roma were detained of which 84 were arrested, while 14 homes in total were flattened. The numbers for the other days remain unknown.
Astonishingly, the official police report on the operations talks of the “tackling” and the “prevention” of crime as the reasons why the Roma houses came under attack – an open and direct racist attack against them. On Tuesday alone, 623 Roma were detained of which 84 were arrested, while 14 homes in total were flattened. The numbers for the other days remain unknown.
