Yesterday, on Saturday night (9 to 10 October), at 00:45, 4 DIAS motorbikes, coming on high speed from Acharnon street, went into Agiou Panteleimona square. The square at that moment was full of migrants and little children, around 80-100 persons. The cops chased with the motorbikes all the people while making noise and running after them. The migrants ran in a panic and the square was empty after 1 minute. After that, the cops stayed in the center of the square being proud of what they did and went away to Alkiviadou street from the other side of the square.
In this whole event, we felt the fear of the migrants who are in a constant state of repression and chase. We should not get used to such actions by the cops and in front of what is happening on public spaces and the migrant neighborhoods, there must be resistance. We observed the comfort and convenience of the cops to do such things in a square full of multinational population, a fact that shows that with this confidence that cops feel this period, it is not difficult to make these actions their game.
