Six years after the arson of Marfin: A crime that remained unpunished - Video
The speech of N. G. Michaloliakos at the annual memorial for the victims of Marfin in 2011.
It was six years ago, on May 5th 2010, when the PASOK government brought for a vote in the parliament the first memoranda and one of the biggest protests was underway. The massive demonstration had surpassed all previous records, participating in it the whole society united, but even helmeted anarchists. A bit later on Stadiou Street, anarchists from within the group of ANTARSYA, throw Molotov bombs at a branch of Marfin depriving the lives of our three innocent citizens.
It took three years in order the three managers of the bank to be convicted, for the enormous deficiencies of the branch in security issues as the building had no other escape route than central one that was blocked by the assault squads of the left. As proved in the trial, there had not been given a mandate to the employees to leave their positions, with the tragic toll of the death from suffocation of Angeliki Papathanasopoulou and the infant she was carring, Paraskevi Zoulia and Nondas Tsakali while other 21 employees were wounded.
Those guilty, Constantine Vassilacopoulos, CEO of Marfin and Emmanuel Velonakis, security officer of the building, were convicted on charges of serial homicide by negligence and serious physical harm to 22 years imprisonment (10 years suspended), with Anna Vakalopoulou, director of the branch to be sentenced to five years in prison and one month
Regarding the arson itself the trial of the anarchist Thodoris Sipsas is pending along with two other "comrades" of him and a 35-year man along with three pseudo-rebels for the arson of the bookstore ''Ianos''. But the trials are constantly postponed with pretexts. But some people have forgotten all this for the sake of money, from the left of the decadent "culture-lovers" to the pseudo-right of Samaras.
But the Greek Nationalists but will never forget the murder that was committed. The souls of the victims seek justice and we restoration of Truth now. God rest their souls.
