Nikos Maziotis: The Quality of the “Citizens’ Protectors”
23/9/24
The quality of those encharged with persecuting us through the pursuit of Revolutionary Struggle and myself, a wanted person with a bounty on their head, i.e. the security forces, the so-called “citizens’ protectors”, proves in the end that they are really the ones who are a danger to citizens by committing heinous social crimes.
According to recent media reports, a retired “protector of citizens”, who during the expropriation of Piraeus Bank in Kleitoria in 2014 was injured and disarmed by me and decorated for his zeal in saving the bank’s money, was recently arrested as a member of a criminal organisation that deceived elderly people and specifically, for fraud against an elderly 70-year-old woman by extorting 40,000 euros from her.
Of course, this is not the first time that a “protector of citizens” involved in our persecution has committed a crime against a fellow citizen while in office. Let me remind you that the policeman of the DIAS team (bike special forces cops) who shot me in Monastiraki in July 2014 contributing to my arrest – he was also honoured for this by the government at the time – robbed and killed a taxi driver two years later and has since been sentenced to life imprisonment.
So, what kind of “citizens’ protectors” are these police officers who rob, kill or deceive citizens? And these are not the only examples.
Unlike our persecutors, I and Revolutionary Struggle may have turned against political-economic power, we may have expropriated banks, i.e. predatory usury institutions that legally rob citizens and we take political responsibility for this, but we never turned against any citizen who is a day labourer and poor. We never robbed or deceived a citizen, we did not take or reduce the pension and salary of an elderly or salaried person, we did not deprive anyone of their home as the banks protected by these “citizen’s protectors” do. We did not deprive anyone of their health and care, nor did we deprive anyone of food.
We did not condemn anyone to poverty, misery and death as the implementers of the memorandum did. These were done by the bosses and the entire state-capitalist cabal: governments, ministers, parliamentarians, bankers, capitalists, the international transnational cabal called the IMF, ECB, EU, protected by the so-called “citizens’ protectors” who persecuted us. Moreover, by their actions these “buds” (scumbags mafia) of the police, whether past or present, do nothing but confirm again and again the rightness of my choices, the rightness of the action of Revolutionary Struggle.
