At one oclock this afternoon, Saturday, November 6th, approximately one-hundred anarchists blockaded the front entrances of one of the largest french-owned Carrefour supermarkets for nearly two hours here in Athens, Greece. With large banners declaring solidarity with those revolting in France, the group prevented shoppers from entering the franchise Carrefour, while distributing flyers and texts outlining the struggle that emerged in France over two weeks, causing major economic disruptions through massive blockades and strikes, as well as rioting and sabotage. The texts were distributed inside the store and to the workers.
Shoppers were not allowed to enter the Carrefour and the group maintaned a presence outside the doors, chanting- Solidarity is the weapon of the people, make war to the war of the bosses. In front of banners that read Strike, Blockade, Sabotage- Resistance Everywhere! and Solidarity for those who revolt in France, anarchists had conversations with passerbys and potential shoppers, many of whom expressed their agreement with the action.
Afterwards, the anarchists marched together through a nearby street market, chanting anti-capitalist slogans and distrubuting more information. There they were greeted warmly and with smiles.
