Rubicon activists conduct foray at finance minister’s office
...
About thirty members of the anti-authority leftist activist group Rubicon managed to pass through finance ministry security today and reach the sixth floor of the building, on Nikis Streets in Syntagma Square, where Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos’ office is located.
A source on the scene told in.gr that at about 1:30pm, the group entered the building without be stopped and ran up six flights of steps to the level on which the minister’s office is located.
The group, which has so far focused on trespassing and launching verbal threats, scattered leaflets around the building, which is its modus operandi.
The group has also targeted embassies in Athens. It has barged into the Spanish Embassy to throw leaflets and more recently threw red paint at the Israeli Embassy. There were no injuries.
They have also sought to terrorise with loud verbal threats notaries conducting auctions of seized properties, which has become their banner cause.
Tsakalotos was reportedly in his office, but the protesters did not demand to see him.
An anti-authority website that reports on the group’s activity said the foray was carried out to protest “against the [austerity] omnibus law and the unbearable measures targeting lower income people”.
“We came here (reaching the office of Minister Tsakalotos) to send a crystal clear message to the government. Against the newest taxation highway robbery, against the unprecedented attack on the right to strike and the right to housing, we are obliged to offer unprecedented resistance,” the statement read.
“That includes a multi-pronged class struggle on many fronts, that will negate the will of the government. It is an attack on any conveyer belt that carries this inhuman policy, whether at the higher echelons of government or the lower ones, who do the dirty work, such as the notaries who are mulling participation in home auctions,” the text reads.
Shortly before the foray, there was a bomb threat at the finance ministry, which proved to be a farce.
