Vasilis Torosidis retired! Great player, who played for Xanthi, Olympiacos, AS Roma, Bologna and Oly (again). He also had 101 apps for the national team (fourth-highest number of apps after Giorgos Karagounis, Thodoris Zagorakis and Kostas Katsouranis)!

Also no far-right Golden Dawn in the parliament after 7 years!
I was surprised by the 'high' percentage of Mera25; people forget what Varoufakis did as Finance Minister...
After a 5.5-year-long trial, most Golden Dawn defendants were found guilty of manslaughter, leading a criminal organisation etc!

The cause is that the Greek government wants to show they are doing something about hooligan violence after a violent clash between Olympiacos ultras and police outside the stadium where the volleyball derby between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos was taking place, which results to the serious injury of a policeman from a flare shot towards him from the ultras side. This was the last episode in an ongoing escalation between Olympiacos (as a sports organization, not just the football part) and the Greek government.

Now the government wants to show people who don't care about sports that they're doing something about "the hooligans" so they are contemplating knee-jerk "solutions" like this one.
