Varoufakis, Spouse Attacked by Anarchists in Athens Restaurant

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said he and his wife, Danae, were attacked by a group of hooded anarchists while they dined in central Athens Tuesday night.

The attack, which Varoufakis said was unrelated to his recent political “degradation,” occurred at around midnight. The assailants entered the courtyard of the restaurant in the neighborhood of Exarchia, making threats, throwing objects at the couple and demanding they leave. Neither was hurt, Varoufakis said in a detailed description of the incident in an e-mail sent from the Athens-based ministry on Wednesday.
