by Carlos Vigueras (mexiamerica [at] mexico.com)
Greek youth joins the world in their demands for justice for the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos of just 15 years old, killed by police heir to the dictatorship of the colonels in Greece.Socially anger accumulated by long years of dictatorship and repression springs in the streets of Greece in search of freedom and justice.
The hope of youth worldwide and the millions of men and women who love freedom is to do justice for Alexandros and release all the political prisoners.

Greece vibe of anger and helplessness to defend the rights of a forgotten generation. His youth awakens from a long honeymoon with unreality. The impunity that has prevailed in his world of alienation and despair begins to be a burden that no one can bear. It is an awakening painful and uncertain, it's like a birth looking for a new oxygen not found in Greece, as if about to polluted air purified in the same share of violence.


The rebellion displayed, along these days of canned anger, becomes a shadow that everybody wants to understand or follow. They are young people who have seen the specter of brutal alignment and want to escape. They fear but fear the planned release, they grow, they marvel of his power and his ability to negotiate with its future. His fate is in jeopardy therefore also become part of an ideal that condemns the system that suppressed from the labyrinth of power from the untouchables. This has united, has made them stronger each day.


The experience about what really happens to the Greek teenagers should be challenged to explain the uncontrolled anger of youths surrounded and threatened by a callous government that has the shadow of the repressive dictatorship of the colonels. Government that far from solving the problems and promote dialogue in order to do justice to that generation that demands unconditional respect for his status as human beings with civil rights, same as for the moment they have been denied, hide them the truth and exonerate police murderers.


The official said now that the death of Alexandros Grigoropoulus was done by a stray bullet and not a murder committed in cold blood in front of his friends, witnesses to a death caused by the Greek police, Espaminondas Korkoneas and another of which is has failed to protect his name, This contradicts the version of the outraged and terrified young people who were killed by their fellow police brutality supported by the Greek state.

The corporate media, including accomplices, share the official version and this provokes the indignation of the inhabitants of Exarchia and around the world. Same people who sympathize with those who seek justice for Alexandros and no more lies compressed in television and other media in the service of the state apparatus.


This experience living Greece should be followed very carefully, because without doubt,
will be very instructive to understand this new generation that has similar problems in many parts of the world. The global society is to see this spontaneous movement as a kind of liberation which will have to face sooner or later it's best to start solving the grave problems that afflict every society, especially in relation to justice, communication and democracy .
Proof of this is that in several countries are starting to identify with this awakening, which while not very clear many approaches, whether they are points of support to start what could be called the silence of the rebellion of young people.


It is a socially accumulated anger, canned by fear, which seeks to leave in search of freedoms, rights and justice, not only for Alexandros, but for the whole
a generation in danger of being silenced, suffocated, crushed and humiliated.

There is no doubt that the youth of the world see the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulus as an attempt to hijack or mortgage their freedom, even more, their miserable lives as invisible beings who have no rights, no opportunities to criticize, analyze or build on this global society that snatch your creativity Libertarian.

The impunity that reigns in Greece to Prosecute the police officers is similar to Murderers
that exists in many countries where law enforcement authorities of the state can Annihilate any citizen or citizen, without the slightest punishment. The justice system in Greece is in the dock and society must act accordingly. This is the real challenge, as in other countries, where the oppressors are selected to fill those positions by their murderous instincts and personalities.


The future of youth is in danger do not act to defend their rights, for
respect their ideas, drive their passions, build alternatives and above all, offer
opportunities to build a better world based on freedom and justice.
