1. El Jueves 6 de Diciembre tuvieron lugar manifestaciones en todo el país, cuatro años después del asesinato de Alexandros Grigorópulos por balas de la policía. El policía había disparado contra el chaval a sangre fría, sin previa provocación de ningún tipo, ni verbal ni física. En Diciembre de 2008, tras el asesinato del chico de quince años en Eksárjia, provocó una rebelión que fue transmitida en cuestión de horas en todo el país. Los asesinos de Grigorópulos fueron juzgados y finalmente declarado culpable sólo uno de ellos.

1. Des manifestations ont été organisées dans tout le pays, jeudi 6 décembre, quatre ans après l’assassinat de Alexandros Grigoropoulos, par la balle d’un policier. Le policier avait tiré sur le garçon de sang froid, sans qu’aucune provocation eusse lieu, qu’elle soit verbale ou physique. En décembre 2008, après l’assassinat du jeune de 15 ans à Exarcheia, au centre d’Athènes, une revolte a été déclenchée et rapidement transmise dans tout le pays. Les assassins de Grigoropoulos ont été jugés, mais un seul des deux a été condamné.

Dec 6, 2011: demos to mark 3 years since Alexis' assassination

It was Dec 6, 2008 when the fatal injury of a 15 years old boy by a policeman in central Athens, went viral and sparked civil unrest on an unprecedented scale. Youths flooded the streets of the capital and footage of blazing cars, smashed window displays and clashes with riot police was on the news. The unrest spread quickly in various cities across the country, followed by occupations of GSEE Trade Confederation's premises, schools, university campuses, Journalists' Union of Athens Daily Newspapers building, city halls and National Opera. 

What happened back then was not a mindless disorder, it was undoubtedly a political statement. The pull was triggered and public anger went over the top, over police mistrust, a series of financial scandals, leader's inability to tackle immigration issues, rising unemployment and dreams for a better future falling apart. Dec 6, 2008 is a key date for social movements in Greece, it's the starting point of a slow but profound radicalization springing up in various sections of society.
