Pavlos Fyssas, a 34 year old antifascist and hip hop artist (Killah P), was murdered by Golden Dawn neonazis in Keratsini, a working class neighborhood in Piraeus.
From eye-witness report: "Around 24:00 a group of 15-20 fascists,
wearing black t-shirts and military pants and boots, was deployed on P.
Tsaldari street. During that time, Killah P was walking with his
girlfriend and another couple when he was spotted by the fascists
shouting "what are you looking for here, you know there is no place for
you in this hood". The fascists hunted the two couples down P. Tsaldari
street towards Gr. Lampraki avenue, where from another street, a new
group of around 10 fascists came out and surrounded the guys. At that
time, a car drove opposite in an one-way street, stopped, the driver
came out and stabbed Killah P once in the heart and once in the abdomen
(the stabbing on his abdomen had an upside-down "L" shape).
The whole scene took place in the presence of DIAS motorbike police,
that only afterwards and only as soon as most of the fascists had
already dispersed, arrested the murderer (according to some witnesses
Killah P while still in shock kept pointing at the murderer and this is
how the cops arrested him - a 55year old holding a knife, described by
other eye-witnesses as a known Golden Down associate). The ambulance
took 35 minutes to approach and Pavlos was pronounced dead at Nikaia
general hospital."
A call for a gathering on the spot of his assassination was made for
today, Wednesday 18:00, on 60, P. Tsaldari street (from Athens, via
public bus B18 from Ralli-Salaminas, or Γ18 from Gr. Lampraki, from
Piraeus via public bus 824 or 826). There are also calls for
demonstrations in Thessaloniki: 10:00 in the teachers demo, 16:00 in
Physics dept. in AUTH university campus, 18:00 demonstration from
"Kamara" on Egnatia street. In Mytilene, Lesbos island, 18:00 on Sappho
square, in Patras, 10:00 on Olga square, in Larissa 10:00 in the 1rst
Lyceum and 10:30 in the teachers' demo, in Komotini and many other towns
there also demos on 18:00.
It is hardly surprising that the Greek police once again did nothing to
prevent Golden Dawn nazi violence (Golden Dawn is largely supported by
the Greek capitalists, the government and the church, as a willful thug
against militants, workers and the poor, and more than half of the
police vote for this openly neonazist party) if not actively
participating in or covering the organisation of what looks as a death
trap for a well-known radical, member of the metalworkers union and
antifa hip-hop artist in a working class district, near the spot where a
few days ago 8 members of the communist party (KKE) were also brutally
assaulted by Golden Dawn nazis.
It is hardly surprising the silence of all the mass media, that are
kept alive due to the government's vast loans and benefits, that either
decided to mention the assassination as a "fight after an arguement
about football" or to not mention it at all. They are the same mass
media that promote every misanthropic Golden Dawn activity as an
"opposition to the system's flaws", and lately as a realistic government
partner for the future. They are of course the voice of their owners,
the same few families of capitalists, owners of a shitload of shiptanks,
banks and hotels that support the right-wing government and its
thuggish little counterpart on the streets, the Golden Dawn, in what
they see as a Golden opportunity to get rid of workers rights and turn
Greece into a proper labour camp under the nationalist and religious
kitsch.
It is worth noticing that this is a hard time for the government and
their nazi counterparts, as even after their full scale assault on
anarchists, squatters, and workers' struggles, the movements seems to
find again its momentum, with the current struggles of the teachers, the
hospital workers etc.
