Charges filed against 31 for fracas at pro-EU rally
A total of 31 people, including a minor, are to face charges for their alleged involvement in a fracas outside Parliament on Monday night with demonstrators attending a “pro-Europe” rally.
A prosecutor brought charges of disturbing the peace, attempted bodily harm, damaging property and the illegal possession of flares against the suspected far-leftists, who are to face a misdemeanors court, with the exception of the minor, who will face a juvenile court.
The suspects are alleged to have approached rally participants and berated them as “traitors” and “SS.” Some also declared that “the job was left half done” in Meligalas, a town in the Peloponnese where communist resistance fighters killed hundreds of members of the collaborationist Security Battalions in 1944.
