Announcement regarding the cancellation of the visit of V. Stigkas to the church of St. Minas.
Today, on Sunday 25/02/24, another beautiful and proud day dawned upon Heraklion. We cancelled the visit of the leader of the party “Spartans” (that is, the Golden Dawn by another name) to the metropolitan church of St. Minas in Heraklion.
Around 9 am, 70 of us antifascists gathered outside St. Minas coordinated and prepared to fight to remind, once more, to all those interested, that fascists are not going to get any space at all in our city. We remained on the spot as long as was necessary to ensure that neither Stigkas nor any other fascist scoundrel would dare show their faces. Following that, we moved to the center of the city where we scattered.
We want to make it clear to everyone that as with today, so for tomorrow we will not allow the puppet of Kasidiaris to move around undisrupted in Heraklion and we will find ourselves wherever we have to to make sure of this.
The neonazi entity that is “Spartans” is a direct continuation of that of the “Golden Dawn” and this is clear no matter how hard they try to hide to present a different image.
The president of this particular entity, V. Stigkas, has announced a visitation schedule that includes several institutions in order to demonstrate a more social profile. Specifically, he has announced he will visit services such as the tax office, the fire department and the chamber of commerce as well. Elected officials of the local governance such as the former deputy mayor of the municipality of Phestos and agriculture union advocate Nikos Papoutsakis, the deputy mayor of the sanitation department of the municipality of Phestos G. Alexakis (a golden dawn member who also participated in the violent attack against antifascists in November 2012 in Zaros) and also the mayor of Hersonissos Zacharias Doxastakis announced that they would meet with the leader of the nazi party.
All those that give political ground to the nazi excrements should be certain that they will have to answer to the antifascist movement of Heraklion.
Heraklion was, is and will continue to be a city dangerous for fascists.
