Not an illness, not an accident. Abderrahim Fakir, 42, an unarmed porter, was suffocated on the ground by police officers at Pilastro while he was calling for help. The video is there; everyone has seen it. We don't care about the biography they'll build around him in the coming days: it's the same toolbox they pull out every time the police kill a poor person or a migrant. The blame is always shifted to the corpse, never to the one who pressed the knee.
Fakir was a logistics worker, one of those sectors held afloat by underpaid, exhausted, and blackmail-able migrant labor. The same state that killed him by suffocating him on the ground is the same state that, every day, allows workers like him to be squeezed into warehouses without any real rights by unscrupulous bosses.Let's call it by its name: state murder.
And the responsibility doesn't end with the two officers. They also call into question the healthcare workers who, as we see in the video, failed to activate a life-saving protocol-removing the two officers, as health authorities, from the dying victim. This complicit and conniving indifference stems from a climate of authoritarian and submissive subservience to
government policy, which in recent years has piece by piece built the framework that makes all this possible: the security decrees, the Gasparri decree, the Valditara decree, the extension of restrictions on the right to strike to the logistics sector-the same sector in which Fakir worked and was exploited. These are not isolated measures: they are part of a single strategy, decided upon at the table, to discipline those who work, those who protest, those who do not stay in their assigned positions. And today that strategy culminates with the criminal shield, just applied for the first time in Fakir's case: the legal guarantee that the police can kill without being held accountable. The state does not look the other way: it decides, it signs, it protects.
Nor is the timing a coincidence: while the government is mobilizing to pardon a jeweler who cold-bloodedly killed two robbers and wounded a third, legitimizing the owners' private "justice," the police kill a migrant worker and are covered up by law. On the one hand, they arm those who must defend their property; on the other, they shield those who repress those who have none. It's the same class warfare, waged from above, with double standards.
We don't expect a gesture of humanity from Salvini or the Meloni government: we already know where their solidarity will go, and it's not Fakir's family. We don't need it. We build truth and justice from the bottom up, together with those who mobilized at Pilastro the very evening of Fakir's murder, together with migrant workers, together with those who daily suffer the same exploitation that killed Fakir even before he knelt on the ground.
Side by side with Abderrahim Fakir's family. Side by side with our migrant brothers and sisters. Alongside those who work and are exploited, alongside those who resist.
No peace with the state that exploits and kills.
