"It is no coincidence that this dirty and provocative attack against Iskra took place after the grand rallies of NO throughout the Greece, just a day before the referendum and at a time when the website's readability has soared to unprecedented heights.
"Iskra deeply disturbs the political establishment and those who are engineered to undermine the country's smooth democratic course with the vote and struggles of the people. The new offender and the forces of the disorder will not achieve their miserable undemocratic goals.
"We call our readers and readers ISKRA, the left progressive world, and all Democrats and Democrats to support the battered Web site and NO on Sunday.
