Violent clashes between anti-establishment protestors and police near Polytechnic
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
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.
Some of the protesters started building roadblocks near Stournari and Tositsa streets. Police responded with tear gas in an attempt to push them back, while all streets around the Polytechnic were closed off.
