In a  post on an anti-establishment website they denounced Theodorakis, who is a key speaker at Sunday's "Macedonia" protest rally in Athens,  for  standing by the “nationalistic and patriotic riffraff” and ignoring the plight of the working class that is being “attacked with anti-strike laws, auctions of primary residences etc.”

According to police, the assailants used red paint to deface the entrance to the house in the capital's Acropolis neighborhood and spray-painted threatening messages on the walls.
