 On Monday 5/12, the cops shot 16-year-old Roma Kostas Fragoulis in the head after

a chase, after he filled 20 euros worth of gas at a gas station in western
Thessaloniki and left without paying. At the gas station at that time, two
engines of the DIAS team were parked, with the policemen inside the gas station,
waiting... When the owner of the gas station informed the police, they got up and
started chasing the minor Kostas Fragoulis. The minor child finally dies on
Tuesday 13/12, after 9 days in the Hippocrates Hospital of Thessaloniki. ----
 From the very beginning of the disclosure of the incident, the state tried to
falsify the facts, both through the official announcement of the Hellenic
Socialist Party, and through the controlled, regime media.

We know that the media reproduce mandated news, adopting in full the official
state line dictated to the administration of EL.AS.. We are used to it, but we
are still filled with anger and disgust at the wretchedness that they are willing
to reach even when life of a minor child has been lost in such an infuriating
manner. We have heard from the establishment media that the young driver tried to
ram the police cars, just as EL.AS claims, although this story can only be
considered ridiculous, since the cars chased the vehicle, so they were BEHIND
this, which is also confirmed by cameras during the chase. We heard from the
establishment media talking about the possibility of the 16-year-old carrying a
weapon and of an exchange of gunfire, although of course nothing of the sort
happened. We heard ruffian journalists whitewashing the attempted state
assassination and the police, talking about police self-defense, smearing the
16-year-old's character with profanity, spewing racist venom about the Roma. When
it became clear that the cops had chased down the young Roma and shot him in the
back of the head, the cops' line of defense changed and the "attempt to ram them"
by the juvenile driver was peppered with nonsense about potholes in the road...
The new narrative is that the cop shoot bis, with a first warning shot in the air
(which in the end turned out to be nailed to a hotel door, so it was aimed at the
young man) and a second aimed at the tires, which, however, found the driver's
head due to the developed speed of the engine and the unevenness of the road
surface! In general, "it's not my fault madam president, I wanted to hit a rubber
but I fell into a puddle". And all this nonsense is understood to be silenced by
the wretched of the wretched journalists like Kambourakis, who emphatically state
that "this is not a movie, it is not easy to get the tires". And no, it isn't!
That's why the cops would do well not to shoot on the move for the terrible and
terrible crime of petty theft of fuel and while they are in absolutely no danger,
because sheriffs in the wild west have seen it. so it aimed at the young man) and
a second aimed at the tires, which however found the driver's head due to the

The dominant narrative goes like this: The "official" continues to obsess about
"self-defense" and bad line of duty, completely ignoring the evidence that the
sheriff simply raised the gun and inflicted the death penalty. sentencing a minor
for a minor misdemeanor simply because he knew he was Roma. The most "democratic"
argues that this is an isolated incident, a failure of an individual police
officer, calls for better training of the police, condemns petty crime with
racist connotations (without, of course, recognizing the class reasons that give
rise to it), tries to manipulate through the bourgeois press and the
establishment media public opinion, in order to wash away the brutality of state
power and the arbitrariness of its praetorians. In this way, the cover-up of
another state murder is attempted and the future acquittal of the policeman who
shot is being built step by step. The most extreme right (or the most
unpretending, one would say) does not hesitate to place the blame for what
happened on the victim himself, since rather theft or not stopping for a check
are punishable in Greece with the death penalty, which can be decided by each
policeman on the road. They talk, before the minor child even comes to an end,
about the "scourge of the Roma", about the delinquency of this particular group
and openly imply that the cops did the right thing, "to get together". A gruesome
scene is unfolding on our screens and Social Media, with the cannibals of this
world bidding on misery. All narratives have one thing in common: none of them
admits that the state,

Kostas Fragoulis is hospitalized in an extremely critical condition in the ICU at
G.N.Th. Hippocrates. He is having fun from the first moment. His parents asked to
attend the medical briefing. However, their request was rejected by the director
of the Unit in consultation with the administrator of the hospital, Nikolaos
Antonakis. The latter, in fact, cynically stated that "it is the decision of the
doctors who to inform and what information to convey", saying that "medical
announcements are not issued for all incidents", without explaining why there was
no medical notification for this specific incident . And of course nothing could
justify the refusal to provide information to the parents of a minor child.

Roma and solidarity supporters were outside Hippocrates, where strong police
forces were deployed, set up barricades and clashed with the police. All this was
happening in the absence of medical information.

State power is based on violence. That is why the state continues to kill, as
evidenced by the murder attempt by cops against 16-year-old Roma, Kostas
Fragoulis, one year after the state-run murder of 21-year-old Roma, Nikos
Sampanis in Perama. The state, while imposing poverty and destitution,
simultaneously intensifying the exploitation and disenfranchisement of those at
the bottom, simultaneously intensifies repression and provides political and
communication cover to its repressive arm, resulting in the demoralization of the
police force and the continuous incidents of police arbitrariness. The state
realizes that the sharpening of class antagonisms requires the upgrading of
repression, in order to deal with the generalized social discontent and anger.
For this, while the shooting in the head of the 16-year-old Kostas Fragoulis
happened, one day before the anniversary of the state murder of the 15-year-old
anarchist student Alexandros Grigoropoulos, a one-time payment of 600 euros was
voted in the Parliament for the police officers as thanks for their "offered
services". This is the cretinism of power. This system of oppression,
exploitation and injustice can only be reproduced through violence. And through
violence it will be overthrown, because the rulers are not going to accept to
lose their privileges and power in a peaceful way. This system of oppression,
exploitation and injustice can only be reproduced through violence. And through
violence it will be overthrown, because the rulers are not going to accept to

exploitation and injustice can only be reproduced through violence. And through

On the contrary, the social base must respond to the intensifying brutality of
the state and capital. To reorganize, rally around class solidarity and fight
back, responding to the violence of power. The massive, dynamic and
confrontational gatherings, protests and demonstrations of the last few days
demonstrate that the social base will no longer sit idly by and get used to death
more and more every day, that by doing so they will put a brake on the brutality
of power. Let the opposing side also get the message, because as long as it
continues to pull the rope, the consequences it will suffer from the explosion of
social anger will surely be incalculable...

The shooting cop was arrested and is facing felony charges. An EDE was ordered
against him... His defense was taken over by (who else?!) the well-known
entangled big lawyer Alexis Kougias, who consistently undertakes the defense of
cop-murderers, cop-rapists and (child)rapists.

In today's march of anger over the death of 16-year-old Kostas Fragoulis, there
were 34 arrests and it is still unknown how many of them will turn into arrests.
Tomorrow we will be in court both to await the council's decision on whether or
not to remand the killer cop and to show our solidarity with the comrades who
have been arrested.

NO STATE MURDER SHALL GO UNANSWERED

THE ANSWER WILL BE GIVEN IN THE STREETS

SS-SS, STICK RAPERS, RUFFINS KILLERS AND TORTURES PROCEED
