American film maker beaten by ultra - nationalists




An American documentary film maker was attacked and beaten during a political rally last night in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki. The critic and film maker was visiting the city in order to attend a documentary film festival and was passing by the rally by the far right LAOS party in the central Agias Sophias square when he was set upon by 8 to 10 ultra-nationalists carrying iron bars and clubs who according to police reports, were most likely party supporters. According to the victim's account the attack was probably provoked by the fact that the assailants thought he was a photographer.

Το παρακράτος υπάρχει ακόμη και κυβερνά. Για το κράτος δεν είμαι καθόλου σίγουρη.

Μάστορα Teacher, δε μας τα λες καλά. Δίκιο έχει ο 10:13. Όλο ψέγεις τους "ultra-nationalists" αλλά γιά τα καθάρματα με τις πεντάλφες ούτε λέξη, έτσι;

Από πότε οι εγγλέζοι είναι φιλο-αναρχικοί;
