"Things are usually slow on Sundays and that was the case today. However, many local assemblies took place to decide further actions. Until early this morning, there were fights around the Polytechnic University in central Athens. Some hundreds of protesters remained in the building all night and made sporadic attacks with rocks and molotov coctails to the riot squads which had surrounded the university. The cops fired tons of teargas, many of which inside university. Strong rumors have been going around that the cops are preparing to raid into the Polytechnic University. There was an assembly of the occupants and solidarists and decided to stand their ground. The occupation remains and they are calling a benefit/solidarity show for Monday.
