Preteča rast ekstremne desnice po vsem svetu sprošča skrb tudi med antropologi in antropologinjami. V soboto, 20. oktobra 2018, je postal žrtev ustnega napada, žaljenja in groženj profesor Vassilis Nitsiakos z Univerze v Ioanini, ko je kot etnolog obiskoval ljudi v okolici domače Konitse. V tem primeru so se pripadniki zloglasne ekstremno desne organizacije Zlata zora ustavili pri ustnem napadu. Toda kot vemo iz zgodovine, se takšni napadi nadaljujejo, če jih državni aparat ne prepreči. Antropologi in antropologinje iz Slovenskega etnološkega in antropološkega združenja Kula najostreje obsojamo to nasilno dejanje in izražamo polno solidarnost z Vassilisom Nitsiakosom ter drugimi kolegi in kolegicami v Grčiji.

The rise of extreme right across the globe raises many concerns for anthropologists. On Saturday, October 20, 2018, while visiting people around his native Konitsa, Greece, as ethnographer, our colleague, prof. Vassilis Nitsiakos from Ioanina University, became a victim of intimidation, verbal assault and threats. This time the members of the infamous Greek extreme right organisation Golden Down stopped with verbal aggression. But as we know from history, such attacks continue if the state apparatus does not prevent them. Anthropologists from Slovenian Ethnological and Anthropological Association Kula strongly condemn this aggressive act and express full solidarity with Vassilis Nitsiakos and other colleagues in Greece.
