Actions against urban sprawl (Athens, 13/4/2008)

Drapetsona: After a demonstration organized by the "Initiative for a unified forest" (http://eniaioalsos.gr) protesters invaded the local city hall in the middle of a congress on the urban "reconstruction" with the presence of constructions agents and local authorities. Some protestors even turned off the power switches of the city hall. Later on, they marched towards the work fields, on the seafront.
