Far West Athens: The 12 Hours of Horror
Two people lost their lives in shootings in Attica in just 12 hours and 9 more were injured in two new cases of extreme violence that were added to the already recorded ones, intensifying the feeling of insecurity of the citizens living in the area of the Basin.
The two incidents in Perama and Nea Erithraia show that the mass recruitment of police officers does not correspond to reality and that the doctrine of “law and order” that the government promised in the run-up to the elections, does not bring the desired results.
One dead and eight injured in Perama
One of the two incidents that took place in just a few hours took place in the area of Perama, which was reminiscent of Far West with the armed clash between police and people riding in a suspicious car, with a dead body. and a total of 8 injured.
It all started in the area St. I. Renti, where the car that was located by the DI.AS Team brought a broken porthole (image indicating a burglary), a reason for which it was considered suspicious and it was decided to conduct a police check.
At the scene, on the orders of the Center for Immediate Action, other reinforced forces rushed to carry out the control, but the police car saw speeding up and escaped.
According to the announcement of ELAS, the car was located again in the area of Egaleo and the police followed it to the area of Perama, where it was stopped by a moving car (bus). In their attempt to escape, the perpetrators made a reverse move and rammed five scooters of DI.AS Teams. injuring a total of seven police officers.
Police used a weapon to stop the vehicle, injuring the driver and one of the passengers, who was taken to hospital and is being treated out of danger. The third person in the car was removed and is wanted.
In this incident, however, questions arise regarding the use of fire by the police, as, in the announcement of ELAS, there is no information about weapons or fire from the side of the people who were in the car.
One dead and one injured in Kifissia
With the landscape in Perama being gunpowder-smoked and with 8 people injured, another bloody incident occurred on the other side of the Basin, specifically in Nea Erithraia.
On Saturday morning, in front of the eyes of unsuspecting citizens, an episode unfolded with shootings on Tatoiou Street, at number 98, resulting in a man losing his life and being injured.
The victims were two gas workers, who allegedly carried out measurements and the perpetrator was a 40-year-old, each from the area, without however the reasons for his act being clarified. The two workers were taken to hospital, however, one of them succumbed to his injuries.
The 40-year-old, after the incident, fled to the roof of his house, holding the pistol. He was then persuaded by the authorities to surrender and arrested.
