Pavlos Fyssas’ relatives expressed their surprise, anger and resentment at a poster of the youth organisation of PASOK, which depicts the image of the murdered musician.

Before ΑΝΤ1 television channel, family lawyer George Marangos read a statement, noting that "Fyssas does not belong to them, he was not part of their party and what is more - he was firmly against the Memoranda (supported by the socialists)."

The family of the murdered musician states that Pavlos Fyssas had his ideology, he was a supporter of the leftist idea but was not a member of party formations. Nevertheless, PASOK is now trying "to take the merits and benefit from Pavlos Fyssas’ sacrifice although it does not belong to the socialists."

The poster

The controversial poster was criticized on the social media too. It depicts Grigoris Lambrakis, Sotiris Petroulas, Nikos Temboneras and Pavlos Fyssas and the slogan "Fascism dies today" is written in huge letters to the left.

The response of the youth organisation of PASOK

"The young generation spontaneously creates symbols that lead it forward. Symbols whose principles, values, lifestyle and ultimately, the way in which they left this world, inspire and show the way", the youth organisation of PASOK responds, explaining that they have created "a digital poster depicting men-symbols who have devoted their lives to Democracy, Peace, Freedom."

As stated in the message, by depicting Pavlos in the poster, we wanted " to honour rather than to take merits, to remember rather than to forget, to show everyone that Fyssas died from a fascist hand like Lambrakis, Petroulas and Temboneras."

"We would like to tell those who are trying to create tension in connection with the poster that the message is loud and clear: Lambrakis, Petroulas, Temboneras and Fyssas are symbols of a continuous struggle for Democracy, Freedom, National Pride. And these symbols belong to the entire nation", concludes the message.

The rap singer, Pavlos Fyssas, aged 34, was fatally stabbed by a member of Golden Dawn in the Athens neighbourhood of Keratsini on 18 September. Shortly thereafter, the police detained George Roupakias, aged 45, a member of Golden Dawn, who confessed to the murder of the young musician, claiming however that it had happened in self-defence.

Meanwhile, the investigation of the bloody attack in Neo Iraklio, when unknown persons had coolly killed two members of Golden Dawn and seriously injured a third man, is continuing. A key element in the investigation of the murder and in the police attempt to identify the perpetrators by cross-checking information for persons involved in other terrorist attacks is the physique and actions of the murderers from Neo Iraklio.

So, a person equally short in height, with the same build and movements such as those of one of the killers in Neo Iraklio was recorded by a security camera during the attack on Alter TV in 2009, the responsibility for which was assumed by the "Sect of Revolutionaries" group. The young offender is one of those who shot at the cars of journalists and employees of the TV station and this finding provides a new direction in unravelling the case.
