The wounding of its executive by the police in Thessaloniki, during a demonstration, is reported by MeRA25, which accuses ELAS of a crescendo of repression.
The party of Yannis Varoufakis in its urgent announcement points out that on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, Today, Wednesday, February 28, outside the New Railway Station of Thessaloniki, the MAT proceeded to use chemicals and stun grenades, “hitting the coordinator with a direct shot of the Thermaikos Base Organization of MeRA25, Maria Stergiadou, who was taken to Papageorgiou General Hospital”.
In fact, it is noted by the party officials, that after her admission, police forces appeared at the Hospital, with the intention of taking her statement — “an unacceptable practice aimed at manipulating and intimidating injured protesters”, as they emphasize.
MERA25 also notes the following: “We denounce the violence and repression of ELAS, the entry of police forces into the hospital and the attempt to take a statement from one of our members as if she were arrested while she is a victim of police violence and arbitrariness. At the same time, it is absolutely clear that neither hospitals should participate in such procedures, nor the prosecution should allow such irregular investigative practices to be carried out.
A year after the crime in Tempe, Greek society demands justice and the government responds with violence and repression.”
To conclude: “But the message of today’s mass demonstrations and strike movements will not be silenced and the fair struggles of workers, students, and farmers will continue vigorously, making it clear that there is an alternative.”
