Thessaloniki,Responsibility claim

We take responsibility for the placing of an incendiary device at a branch of the National Bank of Greece in 25th of March in the morning of 19/7. This action took place in the context of the intensification of the multiform struggle and as an act of solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis. The comrade, a prisoner of the State for almost 9 years, has maintained a consistent and dignified attitude towards the power mechanisms, having committed the most heinous – for the regime – crimes, such as participation in social struggles and mobilisations within the walls, bank robbery and prison escape.

Of course, these actions are unforgivable for the judiciary and political authorities, although he never asked for any forgiveness from them. He did not make any declaration of repentance or compromise his values, instead he put up his body as a barricade and decided to fight and claim his freedom.

The target, the branch of a central bank, is a fundamental part of the mechanism of exploitation, capital and the State. And in the face of these mechanisms it remains an open bet to go on the offensive and organize our resistances so that we can stand with some dignity.
Because whatever they have in store for us, however many days and years we exist in this rot, we will make sure that they are liberating.

For the continuation and intensification of the multifaceted, anti-authoritarian struggle

Strength and solidarity to the political prisoners.

Immediate release of the anarchist Giannis Michailidis.

P.S.: The only games lost are those not played.
