A teacher, who is a member of the Antifascist Initiative, reported that Golden Dawn members recognized her while going to the Old Port, insulted her and triggered the atmosphere leading leftists and Golden Dawn members to an actual fight.
A Golden Dawn member was found in the waters of the Venetian Port. After generalized episodes, minor damages were caused to shops in the Chania port.
The police arrested several people involved in the port episode after monitoring the Communist Party rally to prevent any further trouble. The Antifascist Initiative teacher accused Golden Dawn members of unprovoked verbal attack and filed a libel lawsuit.
