Thousands of Greek anti-fascists confronted an international call-out fascist event in Athens, organized by the now-banned Golden Dawn party and the far-right group Casa Pound. Footage shows violent clashes in which iron bars, improvised shields, and motorbike helmets were used.

The authorities deployed 3,000 additional police, including riot police and national police, in areas close to the fascist gathering. Police attempted to separate the protesters with tear gas grenades, causing one rally participant to suffer serious head injuries. Refugees and migrants in the area were attacked by the fascists, who also attempted to set fire to a metro carriage with petrol.

The far-right rally took place on Wednesday to mark the tenth anniversary of the deaths of two members of Golden Dawn, Manolis Kapelonis and George Fundoulis, in front of the party's office in Neo Iraklio in northern Athens. Greek far-right groups had called on fascists from all over Europe via Telegram to take part in the rally, which was banned by the police.
