7 Pawnbroker shops smashed overnight in the Athens neighbourhoods of Pagrati and Vyronas

Under this condition of crisis and poverty, pawnbrokers are opening in huge numbers all around the country, offering some very much needed cash in exchange for valuables like golden jewellery etc. Yesterday night, 7 such shops got their windows broken and paint-bombs thrown on their façades in the Pagrati and Vyronas neighbourhoods of Athens. A communiqué (GR) titled ” For a Tin of Oil they take your house – Break the shop of every black-marketer” was issued claiming responsibility for these attacks, ending: “Let’s crush those who become richer through others’ poverty and misery.”
