Riots in Athens anarchists district

athens - Car Nomen have in the house held night from Friday to Saturday back in the Exarchia district of the Greek capital Athens. They threw Molotov cocktails at police and set garbage containers on fire. After three hours of calm returned to the streets around the Technical University.

Exarchia is located between two major universities. The opposition socialist party PASOK, extreme leftist groups and human rights organizations have their headquarters. It comes regularly to confrontations between autonomists and police. The anarchists, but also drug gangs, make it the last few years in charge.

In 2016, the Athens police closed the offices in this neighborhood. This year seems to aggravate the violence. Several times forced rioters to stop buses, and passengers had to leave the bus. Then they crossed the vehicles on fire.
