Hunger striker Aristotelis Chantzis, who is on his 60th day of a hunger strike, on Friday, April 3, 2026, suffered a fainting spell a few minutes after 3:00 p.m. and was transported by ambulance to the “Georgios Gennimatas” Hospital.
Examinations conducted in the emergency department of the “Georgios Gennimatas” Hospital revealed low serum urea levels, hyperuricemia, and symptomatic hypoglycemia—findings consistent with starvation.
At the same time, he was administered intravenous treatment with crystalloid fluids (normal saline enriched with potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and MVI). Additionally, he presented with paresthesia (numbness) in the left lower extremity without other focal neurological signs, and further outpatient evaluation was recommended.Additionally, diminished tendon reflexes were noted in the context of malnutrition and muscle atrophy.
Upon completion of the tests, hunger striker Aristotelis Chantzis returned to the Prosfigika neighborhood.
We repeat that, since the first few weeks, he has been experiencing progressively worsening episodes of orthostatic hypotension, dizziness with fatigue and tachycardia upon standing, while daily electrocardiograms reveal persistent abnormalities that predispose him to potentially fatal arrhythmias.
He is already on his 60th day of the hunger strike and weighs 49.3 kilograms, having lost a total of 24.1% of his initial body weight.
Every day, the hunger striker faces an ever-increasing cardiovascular and metabolic risk, with potentially, life-threatening complications.
His demands reflect the collective demands of the community.
- IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION OF THE CONTRACT BY THE REGION OF ATTICA.
- ALL RESIDENTS OF PROSFYGIKA TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES, IN THE PLACE AND AREA WHERE THEY LIVE AND HAVE ESTABLISHED SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND ORGANICAL TIES.
- CONCRETE GUARANTEES TO BE GIVEN FOR THE RESTORATION OF PROSFYGIKA BY THE NON-PROFIT COVIL LAW COMPANY KNOWN AS “RESIDENTS AND FRIENDS OF PROSFYGIKA ALEXANDRAS AV.” USING ITS OWN FUNDING! – NOT A SINGLE EURO OF PUBLIC MONEY FOR THE “REHABILITATION” OF PROSFYGIKA!
The hunger Striker Chantzis declares that he does not intend to end his hunger strike despite the health risks, until his demands are met.
After 60 days of hunger strike and given the progressively worsening deterioration of the hunger striker’s health, everyone involved is to be held accountable for the imminent complications or even a fatal outcome, especially the Regional Administration of Attica.
