The Popular Fighters Group, also referred to as Group of Popular Rebels (Greek: Ομάδα Λαϊκών Αγωνιστών, transliterated as Omáda Laikón Agonistón), was a Greek left-wing terrorist group that was anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist. Formed as a response to the Greek Government-debt crisis the group carried out attacks primarily targeting the Government of Greece and German organizations in Greece.[1][2]

The group gained attention not only for its attacks, it published several statements explaining its political views.[2] The group usually communicated through statements on anarchist websites or left behind the statements for journalists in public places.[2][3] According to authorities, the former EA operative Panagiota Roupa allegedly wrote some of the OLA's tractates.[2]
