An unbelievable incident occurred on Saturday morning in Thessaloniki. A student stormed the Rotunda monument in a rage and caused damage.
The 21-year-old student pretended to be a visitor. The employee, who was at the ticketing area, asked him for a vaccination certificate. He replied that he did not have it with him.
Without giving further explanation, he threw his backpack on the ground and started running towards the inside of the Rotunda. The employee followed him.
The 21-year-old had already reached the altar (the monument also functions as an Orthodox church) and had removed its covers. Immediately afterwards, he moved towards the cross. He hit it with force and broke it. The employee approached him and tried to calm him down.
The perpetrator seemed to be in a bad psychological state. In an attempt to apologize, he said his partner had recently divorced him. Shortly afterwards, he claimed that he had been affected by... the war in Ukraine. While he was causing damage, he even shouted that he was looking for... the light!
According to thestival.gr, within a few minutes two policemen of Group Z arrived at the scene. They arrested him and led him to the Security Department of White Tower.
A case was filed against the 21-year-old for causing aggravated damage. He will be brought before the competent prosecutor's office.
