After a new police raid, the bus left for Alexandras Avenue. At the same time, members of PAME began gathering there to express their solidarity with the detainees. Their protest stopped the traffic on Alexandras Avenue.

According to sources, the occupiers caused damage in offices, which are located on the same floor as the ministerial office. They broke the door of the office of the minister's adviser and caused minor damage to bags and other items they had found there.

In his statement, government spokesman Simos Kedikoglou said that "the government will not allow the repetition of such acts." He added that the rush into the office of Yiannis Vroutsis and the threats made to him aimed to put a strain on the political climate in a difficult period for Greece. "All who use methods of violence within the competition between extremists should know that society is against them, because it understands what their motives are," said Simos Kedikoglou.

The Communist Party responded with an angry message accusing the government of violence, arrests and violent attacks against trade unionists.

The occupation was organized in protest against the statements of the Minister of Employment, who said that the social security system in Greece had been established on the basis of "clientelist perceptions." "As a result, it is today a patchwork of exemptions and special regimes. It is necessary to urgently change it to make it equitable for all."

In response, the Communist Party's press office issued a communication in which it defined the Minister’s words as the "arrogance of a thief."
