Πραγματικά την ώρα που μας ειδοποίησαν χθες στις εντεκάμιση με δώδεκα η ώρα και πήγα από εκεί, με το που άνοιξε η πόρτα έπαθα σοκ. Δεν έχω ξαναδεί τέτοιο πράγμα (…). Και να σας πω, ότι δεν υπάρχει πάτωμα, τρεις όροφοι σχολείο, γιατί εκεί είναι δυο σχολεία, είναι όλο καλυμμένο (…). Το δε μένος που χτυπούσαν με πυροσβεστήρες για να σπάσουν τις πόρτες είναι απίστευτο.
According to Anný Kavká, the Deputy Mayor of Education for the Municipality of Glyfada, the scene upon arrival was one of utter devastation. "I was shocked. I have never seen anything like it," she stated, describing how every floor of the three-story building was covered in debris. The use of fire extinguishers to break down doors speaks to the level of violence and intent behind the vandalism.
Αλλά προσέξτε: μετά αφού κάνανε ό,τι κάνανε στο σχολείο, ανέβηκαν σε ταράτσα, ανεβάσανε και καρέκλες και αγνάντευαν τη θάλασσα.
