On July 1, 2026, multiple political leaders in Greece condemned a series of arson attacks targeting the residences of three members of the New Democracy (ND) party in Thessaloniki. These violent incidents led to five injuries, with one victim reported to be in serious condition. The Hellenic Police (ΕΛΑΣ) issued a strong condemnation of what they described as "terrorist attacks," underscoring the seriousness of the events.
Government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Costis Hatzidakis and Agricultural Development Minister Margaritis Schoinas, highlighted the necessity of political isolation of violence, while KKE (Greek Communist Party) also denounced the attacks, emphasizing the urgent need for a thorough investigation. KKE noted the dangers posed not only to the injured but to the broader community as well.
Several other political figures, including representatives from the opposition parties and administration members, echoed similar sentiments of condemnation. They called for unity against violence, stressing that such acts are unacceptable and detrimental to democratic processes. The Anti-Terrorism Unit has reportedly launched an investigation into the incidents to ensure accountability and to deter future occurrences of political violence.
