Earlier today Greek riot police forces unleashed an unprovoked and brutal attack against a peaceful demonstration organized in Athens by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) in honor of the 47th anniversary of the Polytechnic uprising.

Police forces tried to disperse the demonstration by using excessive violence and tear gas and proceeded to the arrest of a few protestors.

According to information published by 902 portal, the General Secretary of the KKE Dimitris Koutsoumbas, as well as Party MPs who were on the spot, protested to police officers demanding the release of those arrested.

The violent attack of riot police against the demonstration bears the signature of the right-wing government of New Democracy (ND), of Prime Minister Mitsotakis and Minister Chrisochoidis.

The KKE's parliamentary representative, MP Thanasis Pafilis proceeded to an intervention to the Ministry, denouncing the authoritarian attitude of the government and demanded the release of the arrested protestors.

Despite the despicable decision of the government to ban all public gatherings, under the pretext of Covid-19, the Communist Party honored the Polytechnic Uprising with a march in the center of Athens, observing all the necessary protection measures.

At noon of November 17 in Athens, protesters with KKE banners and flags were able to defy the authoritarian and anti-democratic decision of the government, carrying out a march that reached outside the US embassy, which was surrounded by police buses and strong riot police forces.

The GS of the CC of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, was greeted with applause by the protesters and laid a wreath at the place where the police tortured militants during the military dictatorship. In his statement, D. Koutsoumbas noted the following:

Asked by a journalist about the KKE demonstration outside the US embassy, he replied:

"They are simply doing the self-evident. It is a symbolic gesture of young Greek people - as you can see, there is a specific number of attendees - against US imperialism, against what our country has suffered due to US and NATO policy".
