Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis was hospitalized on Sunday night after an attack by unknown men, said to be local authority employees, outside the extraordinary conference of the Central Association of Greek Municipalities (KEDE).
Kaminis sustained injuries after exiting the building where the conference took place, while outside it there was a rally against the government's mobility scheme for the broader public sector that also concerns local authorities.
On his way out he was followed by a number of men, according to reports, who abused him, punched him and inflicted damage on his car.
Government spokesman Simos Kedikoglou and Interior Minister Yiannis Michelakis issued statements on Sunday night condemning the incident.

That would be my guess as well.
