This is Berlin today. Calling for resistance against the Far Right. All around Germany, people took to the streets in the last days. History tells us: We cannot wait until it is too late and Fascists are in power. We have to stand up to them. NOW.

I am a Greek of Eastern Aegean heritage who has spent a decade writing about migration from the E.U. & Africa. I know how many people have tried to get compelling evidence of these widely known practice. The bar is very high, and invariably you get abused for trying.

For absolutely no reason and while everything was calm at #Syntagma square, police on bikes showed up & threw flashbang grenades at the feet of the few demonstrators that were still at the square. Just like a bunch of hooligans. #Greece #Αθηνα #Athens #PoliceBrutality #antireport
