Villa Amalia (Athens)

[1] In its lifetime as a squat, the center organized cultural events such as political debates, film screenings and concerts.

Protesters gathered with banners pledging solidarity and occupied the offices of Greek social-democratic party DIMAR.

The police then raided a nearby squat and in response people blockaded the entrance of a building where Prime Minister Antonis Samaras was supposed to give a talk.

The crowd, estimated at 8,000 people by the organizers and at 3,000 by the police, marched through central Athens to the law courts.

[7] The Mayor of the City of Athens Giorgos Kaminis announced in February 2013 that the building would be transformed back into a school or cultural center.
