Citizens’ Protection Minister Takis Theodorikakos denounced opposition SYRIZA’s stance on the shooting in Thessaloniki earlier this week by police of a 16-year-old, saying the leftist party was trying score political points and to liken the case to that of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos, who was killed by an officer in 2008, sparking unprecedented riots that lasted for days.
