There’s no room for complacency! We must struggle against fascism, which is a product of the capitalist system

On 18 September, a large anti-fascist rally was held in Keratsini, with the participation of dozens of trade unions, mass organizations, and student unions, twelve years after the murder of young musician Pavlos Fyssas by fascists from the Golden Dawn party.

A large march followed the rally heading to Kokkinia, where in August 1944 the German fascist occupiers had set up a roadblock, leading to the execution of two hundred communists and other anti-fascist fighters.

Dimitris Koutsoumbas, GS of the CC of the KKE, attended the event and laid flowers at the memorial to Pavlos Fyssas. He then gave the following statement to the media: “Fascism is a product of the capitalist system, born in its womb, which is why there can be no room for complacency, only a constant struggle against it. Twelve years ago, a few hours after Pavlos Fyssas was murdered by the criminals of the Nazi Golden Dawn, we warned that ‘you must deeply understand fascism; it will not die alone — you must crush it’. The lyrics by Fondas Ladis are as relevant today as ever, with Michaliakos being released from prison, Kasidiaris preparing to follow suit, and the entire bourgeois state failing to take action against these scum of history.

The GS of the CC of the KKE spoke with Magda, the mother of Pavlos Fyssas, who had previously laid flowers at the memorial amid thunderous applause and an emotional atmosphere.
