The offices of the Athens newspaper Proto Thema, which published a startling front page photo of a dying anti-fascist being cradled in his girlfriend’s arms after he was stabbed by a man police said belonged to the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party, was attacked by a gang of hooded assailants on Sept. 26, officials there said.
The assault has caused material damage to the building. It was reported that 17-20 people broke the front windows on Agrafon Street in Maroussi with stones and hammers, threw paint and flyers and shouted slogans and ran away.
Police were called to the scene while the first reports said there were no injuries and no idea who carried out the attack. While there is no official announcement on who carried the attack, “Rage for Pavlos Fyssas’ murder” was the slogan written on the pamphlets that the attackers left behind.
Proto Thema is the largest in circulation newspaper in Greece.
