A bullet in the head

Dear reader,

This is our weekly round-up from Greece.

The Greek police shot a 16-year-old Roma teen in the head after chasing him for leaving a gas station without paying. He had filled up 20 euros. The boy is struggling for his life.

The Greek government announced a bonus for all police a day after the incident. This also happened a day before the tragic anniversary of the murder of 16-year-old Grigoropoulos by a policeman back in 2008. Mainstream media attempted cop-washing.

Main opposition SYRIZA cornered the Greek PM to answer if the National Intelligence Service EYP had wiretapped the General Staff Chief. The PM just left the Parliament without answering.
