Visibly emotional as she left the Five-Member Court of Appeal for Felonies, Magda Fyssa, the mother of the murdered Pavlos Fyssas, expressed her satisfaction with the court’s decision regarding Golden Dawn, saying that “we won.”
“We’re done… After 11 years, we’re done. Today I’m going home with the thought that I will never again have to stand among those who murdered my child and spread hatred in society. Today I’m going home with my heart just as torn, but also a little more relieved, lighter. Eleven years of struggle, and I thank everyone who fought this battle with us. Thankfully, they were not few,” Ms. Fyssa said.
“Pavlos, we won. Even though we lost…” she said emotionally and added: “you crushed them. You crushed them, my child. Thank you for everything. Not an inch of land to any fascist. Not an inch, not a single step back. I’m taking my Pavlos and leaving. I bid you farewell, goodbye.”
As she exited, Magda Fyssa was holding a placard that read:
“Pavlos, we did it! Golden Dawn is definitively a Nazi criminal organization. You exposed them.”
It is recalled that the appeals court upheld the original conviction of Giorgos Roupakias, the murderer of Pavlos Fyssas, sentencing him to life imprisonment plus ten years in prison.
