The attack on the home of Nikos Hardalias bears the hallmarks of a terrorist act. <\/b><\/p>\n
It is not a\u2026 \u201cintervention,\u201d as some refer to \u201coperations\u201d of this kind, since essentially this is an attempt to intimidate not only the individual but his entire family.<\/p>\n
The approximately 100 people wearing helmets and hoods outside the home of Attica Regional Governor<\/b>, writing slogans and throwing flyers with insults directed at him, is a clear act of targeting combined with character assassination.<\/b><\/p>\n
Unfortunately, many politicians, journalists, and public officials have fallen victim to this from time to time. It is a campaign that is launched whenever decisions are made that displease certain groups, who seek to impose their positions and views in this way or through other methods, such as, for example, \u201cgas can attacks.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
The \u201creason\u201d for the attack against N. Hardalias was the issue of the eviction of the squats currently underway in the refugee camps on Alexandras Avenue<\/b>, under the pretext that they are housing relatives of children and adults with serious health problems or vulnerable families.<\/p>\n
The regional government has taken steps\u2014according to reports\u2014to address these cases, which, however, are not the only ones and certainly \u2014according to those involved\u2014do not represent the majority. However, we are talking about squatting, a phenomenon that emerged during the post-dictatorship era among various groups and collectives that promote so-called collective action in the name of culture and other causes.<\/p>\n
In any case, the bottom line is the attacks against all those who are targeted and terrorized by various extremist groups. Yesterday it was the refugee camps, the day before that the universities, or the position of a journalist or a politician.<\/p>\n
Is the term \u201cterrorist act\u201d really that extreme? Perhaps some people equate it with victims of bombings and shootings. But\u2014whether you like it or not\u2014terrorism is the attempt to intimidate anyone in any way and by any means.<\/b> It\u2019s the \u201cwe know where you live,\u201d the \u201cneither you nor your family can feel safe in your own home.\u201d<\/p>\n
