“GS Heracles expresses his deep anger and condemns the unacceptable attitude of the Greek police during yesterday’s Elite League Hellenic BasketBall Federation basketball game between HERACLES and Amydas in #ivanofeio, one of the few closed gyms in the country, which has been overcrowded for years here and people and Life.

It is questionable that the police chose this course of action, with the MAT troops making indiscriminate threats against those who were on the way to the stadium at the time, for unknown reasons, and thus the sporting and financial activities of the club have hindered.

What essentially prevented the worst and led to a generalization of tensions, despite the police officers’ typical provocation, was the admirable maturity and composure of the friends in our group.

We express our support to the people of Heracles and congratulate them for keeping a cool head and not responding to the provocations of the police forces.

We call on all political and sporting authorities as well as those responsible for regulatory measures to analyze the root cause of the violence in the stadiums and, above all, to review their own attitude towards the problem and to look for the instigators and instigators and ultimately they use it for their own purposes.

We stand with you when it comes to uncritical acts of revenge!

In the near future we will seek a meeting with the officers of the Police of Thessaloniki so that they can explain to us the reasons that led to this attitude and the use of force against the population of Heracles, but also to ensure that this is the This case will not happen again in the future“.
