The article reports on a rise in politically motivated attacks in Greece, primarily attributed to self-proclaimed anarchist groups. According to data from the Attica Police Directorate, between 2024 and early 2025, there were 150 suspects arrested for incidents involving arson, vandalism, and incitement of riots. These attacks targeted both political figures and institutions, including the home of a Supreme Court chief justice and an administrative court. The article highlights a specific incident where a homemade incendiary device was used against a New Democracy MP in Thessaloniki, resulting in the death of a 72-year-old woman. The police data reveals a pattern of such attacks occurring roughly every five days, with some incidents claiming responsibility from organizations like 'Cell of Revolutionary Violence.'

Bias read (Left): The article frames the attacks as part of a broader trend of 'antiestablishment' actions, often attributing them to leftist-inspired groups like anarchists.
