On October 18, 2013 Pavlos Fyssas fell dead in Amfiali (Keratsini, Piraeus) at the hand of George Roupakias, who some said was a comrade of the Golden Dawn party. The victim was a well-known rapper and militant anti-fascist, who expressed his political views and opinions through his music!
The perpetrator, a former Leftist, was a blue-collar worker who had recently jumped to the other side and began embracing the ideologies of the Golden Dawn party in the area of Nikea (Piraeus). The Nikea branch of Golden Dawn aimed to weaken the presence of the Left in the area and specifically the Greek Communist party's PAME group which traditionally had a strong influence in the area (or the neighborhoods of Piraeus B constituency).
So basically the area had two fronts (or two extremes), and they were bound to clash at some point or another. It was just a matter of time. Of course the government knew what was going on, but as with many other things, our lawmakers refused to touch the subject. In fact in the run-up to Fyssas' murder, some believe that the status quo, was rather more concentrated on the popularity of the Golden Dawn party rather than the explosive climate that was brewing in this neighborhood.
At the same time, there was concern, and consequent pressure from international players towards Greece about the gradual increase that the Golden Dawn party was receiving in the polls. (Remeber what the DIMAR MP and former Minister of Justice said about American and EU pressure?)
A few days after Fyssas' tragic death, the degradation of Golden Dawn began, with unprecedented and relentless psychological warfare by the domestic and foreign media, while the party leader and two deputies were apprehended, and actions were taken against other members.
While Golden Dawn was being persecuted, its members were being targeted by self proclaimed anti-fascists and anti-authoritarians, who assumed the role of legislator, judge and executor ...!
And this continued up until two madmen shot and killed in cold blood two young members of the Golden Dawn party, or George Fountouli and Manolis Kapelonis and seriously injured Alexander Gerontas (who incidentally is still in critical condition).
Even when public opinion was left dumbfounded while watching the bloody images of the shootings that were leaked to the media, the political system, as noted earlier, did not adopt the same attitude. In fact it acted swiftly in the case of Pavlos Fyssas whereas in the murder of the GD members our lawmakers were no where to be found. Obviously this violates many principles, including that which says that even enemies that fall to their death are entitled to enjoy some type of honor.
But let us not dwell on what our lawmakers did, or didn't do, even though it just further discredits the whole political system and only increases the popularity of Golden Dawn (because Greeks always innate sympathy to anyone who is wronged or hurt by the system). Let us rather examine the views of those who spoke about the settling of scores, or the engagement of secret services in this obviously tragic crime.
At present there is no evidence that can determine who the executioners are and especially why these murders occurred.
That is why many are convinced that it was carried out by a team of anti-authoritarians because their operational tactics are well known in Greece and have been for four decades now. In fact, in their world, the assassination of Fyssas is equivalent to the invasion and occupation of Greece from Turkey. (Believe it)
What do we mean?
If Greece was invaded by Turkey tomorrow morning, the Greek army would act swiftly and without a second thought, because their obligation is to uphold the safety and welfare of all Greeks and Greece in accordance to the Greek constitution. Well anti-authoritarians work in a similar way. They have their own laws and guidelines and feel compelled to intervene at any given moment in the framework of bringing order in their own ranks (or in this case against those that forced the murder of anti-fascist Pavlos Fyssas).
This is basically how the stage was set, from both sides of the coin, but this is also how the road opened to foreign intelligence services as well.
At this point we should note that foreign intelligence agencies found the right time, and the grounds, to act, while some idiots were busy creating the perfect setting and the right conditions!
Those who speak about the involvement of secret services in this case, should first reflect on their own responsibilities, as well as how they helped to dismantle the state apparatus where partisanship was allowed to destroy even the most sensitive services of the Greek state. Let us not forget that the top priority of these services is to prevent such actions from foreign intelligence services in Greece.
