Austerity may prove the saviour of Greece’s far right

A DESCRIPTION in a local website of the murder of hip hop artist and well-known anti-fascist Pavlos Fyssas, 34, known as Killah P in a working class area of Piraeus outside Athens.

“Around 24:00 a group of around 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 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. 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).
