Guerilla group claiming murder of Golden Dawn members slams left, anarchists

A new urban guerilla organization calling itself Militant Popular Revolutionary Forces that has claimed the assassination of two Golden Members, Argyris Kapelonis, 22 and Giorgos Fountoulis, 26, in Neo Iraklio in northern Athens, on November 1, 2013, slammed a portion of the Greek left and certain anarchists in a new declaration posted on an anti-establishment website on Wednesday.

In its 21-page statement, the organization condemned reaction to the Neo Iraklio murders by members of the Greek left and a number of anarchists who had referred to the assissinations as a settling of scores or had raised the issue of conpiracy and the involvement of secret agents.

The guerilla organization claimed that this kind of reaction aided the state’s efforts to “isolate and carry out a crackdown on revolutionaries who had opted for armed struggle.”
