Just a small correction Gioi,those guards are not royal,no king in Greece you see.They protect the Greek parliament.And they almost certainly did not act by themselves but by someone's higher orders.Doesn't change anything really...
Politicians react because they're afraid Hoplitikes Mores is some kind of religious group.Re-enactment never existed in Greece and those "tsoliades" or others with traditional clothing are not considered re-enactors.The clothes are usually of an association or of the state and do not belong to the wearers.Not to mention that they represent a time that is connected with Orthodox chirch which is the current religion,so nothing strange on people's eyes.
