The Fighting Minority [MM; Machómeni Meiopsifía] was a Greek anarchist outfit that was behind three attacks in Athens. On Nov. 25, 2012, members of the group set fire to the parked car of an ultranationalist who had been involved in assaults on immigrants in the wake of the 2011 murder of a Greek citizen by a foreigner.1 The next day, they set off an incendiary bomb outside the house of senior PASOK member Maria Kaltsa in the capital’s Psychiko suburb.2 Later that day, the MM asserted responsibility for both incidents in a statement posted on an anarchist website.3 The politician had been targeted because she had overseen the building of immigration centers while serving in the government.
On Dec. 07, 2012, the MM reemerged when it destroyed two parked cars and damaged the house of former economy minister Giannos Papantoniou in an incendiary bomb explosion in Kifissia.4 The group again claimed the attack in a message on the same website. The MM reported to have carried out the action in commemoration of the fourth anniversary of a young left-wing rioter during confrontations with police. The outfit disappeared following the December incident.
