Austrian embassy in Athens

Whether he's aware of it or not, Panos Skourletis now bears full political responsibility for Rouvikonas and for the police's inability to bring the anarchist group to task.

The interior minister who was recently appointed to head the Citizens' Protection Ministry no longer has a shield in the form of Nikos Toskas, whose responsibilities he assumed.

Members of the self-styled anarchist group Rouvikonas walked into the Austrian embassy in Athens on Friday to protest the approval of a 12-hour working day by lawmakers in Vienna.

After they threw flyers, the members of the group left the building.

Two members of anarchist group Rouvikonas were brought in for questioning at Attica's police headquarters on Thursday, after policemen saw about 10 people acting suspiciously outside the Austrian embassy in Athens' Kolonaki district.
