During an event held by the Association, where the minister of justice was supposed to give a speach (he finally didn't come up at all), a group of about 50 anarchists took over the association offices for more than two hours, they hung banners and chanted slogans as "Social struggles are neither legal nor illegal, they are just". They finally left the offices without any police intervention.

In the same time, there was another militant occupation at the "Friends of the Police" club in Peristri district, western Athens. There, the president of the club Giannis Mathioudakis, put out his personal gun and fired a few times against the people, and even "arrested" a 22 year old, who is going to face a jury on Dec. 27th.
