The occupation of the Polytechnic school, in downtown Athens, was announced by a group of anti-authoritarians, starting today through a post on a well-known anti-authoritarian website.

New Democracy spokesman Giorgos Koumoutsakos criticized the government on Thursday for its failure to stop the violent protests outside the Athens Polytechnic on Thursday night, when masked individuals hurled petrol bombs, sticks and stones against riot police. 

About 150 anti-establishment youths threw numerous petrol bombs and other objects against riot police near the Athens Polytechnic on Tuesday evening, following a protest march against the visit of U.S. President Barack Obama in central Athens earlier in the day which was stopped by police.
