Attack on New Democracy offices in Kypseli

On Sunday, September 27, 2026, an attack took place on the offices of the 6th Municipal Local Organization of New Democracy in Kypseli, Athens. According to reports from Enikos.gr and the Journalists’ Newspaper, unknown individuals broke windows and threw paint at the entrance of the party organization’s offices. The time of the incident has not been clarified by either of the two sources. No arrests have been reported, the perpetrators remain unknown, and neither report mentions details of any police investigation that may be underway.

Kypseli is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods of the Municipality of Athens, where, like in other areas of the capital, local party organizations maintain neighborhood-level offices for their daily presence and activities. Following the incident, New Democracy issued a statement condemning “categorically” the attack on the offices of the 6th Municipal Local Organization and expressing the hope that the other parties would do the same. In its statement, the party declares that it stands by the members and officials who keep the party active in Athens neighborhoods through their presence and work.

For a local party organization, neighborhood offices are a point of daily contact with citizens and members, beyond their symbolic significance as a point of political presence. New Democracy’s statement states that those who believe such actions can frighten or silence it are mistaken, and that the party will continue to freely express its ideas in every city and every neighborhood of the country. The statement ended with the phrase “Democracy is not terrorized, New Democracy is not frightened.” This is the party’s official position, which is recorded as a statement and does not itself attribute responsibility for the attack to a specific person, group, or ideological sphere. The two sources agree in their description of material damage and do not record a different account of what occurred at the entrance of the offices.

Until the publication of the two reports, no arrest had been announced nor any information leading to the identification of the perpetrators, who remain unknown. No details are provided on whether a police investigation has been opened or will be opened regarding the incident. Whether there will be developments regarding the identification of the perpetrators or official responses from other political actors remains, for now, an open question, according to what is known to date. On other issues in Attica the same day, scheduled power and water cuts of September 27, 2026, were in effect, for which separate information had previously been provided.
