Social media users have expressed their reaction to the government’s announced measures to combat fan violence after hearing a government spokesman “lock down” the stands of Super League stadiums for the next two months.
Users – both fans and ordinary sports fans – emphasize that the government raises questions with its decisions, pointing out that this is the third time it has taken action against fan violence, and that these measures, in fact, step on the same rake!
There are also those who emphasize that the government operates on the principle of “cut off the head if your hand is wounded,” arguing that the decision to block football was made while the incidents in which the 31-year-old policeman was injured took place at a volleyball stadium. In addition, social media users are commenting on the fact that the government has announced measures for the next two months, while no one knows what will happen next.
Επόμενο μέτρο κυβέρνησης: Κάθε φορά που πέφτουν μολότοφ έξω από Πανεπιστήμια, θα κλείνουν τα Πανεπιστήμια για δύο μήνες. Βία τέλος.#Ρεντη

The next government measure: every time Molotov cocktails are thrown at universities, the universities will be closed for two months. No more violence.

Me: Doctor, I hurt my little finger. Doctor: ok, I’ll cut off your head and everything will go away.
It is characteristic that the two months of “isolation” reminded them of the first two weeks of quarantine due to the coronavirus, which ultimately lasted for months.

The next two rounds will be decisive.
At the same time, with the two-month lockdown ending on February 12, people used the close date of Valentine’s Day in their tweets to comment.

I wonder if the kiosks near Super League stadiums will be closed until midnight? Otherwise, violence cannot be dealt with. This is exactly what happened during the coronavirus period.
Αν είχαν πλακωθεί έξω από πιτσαρία η κυβέρνηση θα έκλεινε τα σουβλατζίδικα για 2 μήνες #ρεντη

In addition, many give examples of how the government decides to combat violence, saying,“that if the incidents had occurred near the pizzeria, they would have closed… souvlatzidiko for 2 months.”
On December 7, a policeman was wounded near the Melina Mercouri indoor gym in Renti while suppressing riots. Police arrested the perpetrator all 424 spectators and fans, who were at the stadium. Both adults and children who came with their parents to the match were imprisoned. The detainees were fingerprinted and DNA taken, at the same timecheckingfor traces of gunpowder on hands and clothing.
