Greek riot police fired clouds of teargas to disperse anarchists who threw stones and tried to evade police roadblocks protecting a European Union summit on Friday, witnesses said.
Notice that if you protest against the EU, you are a anarchist. If you protest against the US, you are a "activist".
The violence erupted as about 4,000 anti-capitalist protesters staged an anti-EU march in the village of Marmaras, about five km from the summit site at the beach resort of Porto Carras, southeast of the city of Thessaloniki. Helmeted police wearing gas masks drove a breakaway group of about 300 anarachists into brush and pine woods around Marmaras. The protests were smaller than expected by organisers.
Of course they are smaller, it's the EU. |
