[CNN] TPF members smash up the Athens headquarters of the fascist CA party.

The Pavlos Fyssas Brigade [TPF; Taxiarchia Pavlos Fyssas] was a short-lived Greek anarchist militant outfit named after a rapper who was stabbed to death by a member of the fascist Golden Dawn party [CA; Chrysi Avgi] in 2013. Approximately twenty of the group’s members ransacked part of the headquarters of the CA party in Athens on Mar. 31, 2017, smashing windows and hurling paint bombs.1 Eleven of the attackers were arrested by police.2 The assailants were released a few hours later. On Apr. 06, 2017, the TPF claimed responsibility for the incident in a lengthy statement published on the internet.3
