An attack against the Moschato - Tavros Town Hall in Athens, Greece, took place on 2 March 2021.

Moshato is the area of Athens where the headquarters of the right wing governing party "New Democracy" are located.

A claim of responsibility was assumed by anarchists, in solidarity with Dimitris Koufodinas, who has been on a hunger strike since the 8th of January 2021.

Dimitris Koufodinas, now 63 years old, is on hunger strike for the last 55 days. His demand is to be transferred to Korydallos prison, but mainly, an end to the arbitrary political interventions against him that treat him as a political prisoner.

Even after 55 days without food, the greek government refuses his right to equal treatment. His death is considered imminent with unforeseen consequences.

If Dimitris Koufontinas dies he will be the first prisoner on hunger strike to die in the European Union, since the death of Bobby Sands and his comrades in 1981, 40 years ago, in Northern Ireland, under the Margaret Thatcher regime.
