[01] House of Athens transport chief targeted again by group opposing
ticket validation machines
About 50 unknown individuals threw flyers, shouted and sprayed slogans
in favour of "free transportations" on the walls of the house of the
head of the Athens Urban Transport Organisation (OASA) Tasos Tastanis
in the suburb of Ano Glyfada on Thursday evening.
The slogans read "Break the [ticket] bars" and "Kick ticket controllers".
This is the second time Tastanis' family has been targeted. On December
2016, a group of hooded individuals smashed his car, sprayed slogans on
the walls of his house and threw red paint.
"This is one more fascist act planned by dark circles. It is reminiscent
of other times and have no support whatsoever in society," Tastanis told
the Athens-Macedonian News Agency.
"Obviously it does not agree with the request of millions of Athenians
for modern, safe and affordable public transport. No matter how many
threats and terrorist attacks we face, they will not discourage us. We
will continue our struggle to upgrade the commute of our citizens and
preserve the public character of urban transport with even greater
intensity," he added.
