Taking responsibility for a vicious inflammatory attack on Eurobank in Athens by Anarchists
Every day power reveals its true face to us, oppressing and plundering our lives. So, in response, in the early hours of Sunday 24/9/2023 we carried out a simultaneous, disruptive and incendiary attack on a Eurobank branch on Evelpidon Street.
Technological sophistication and the militarization of urban tissues have formed a grid of generalized surveillance and monitoring of our movements. Security systems, continuous patrols, constant forces of ELAS officers, (Greek police)targeting and incessant surveillance are the methods through which power is unleashed.
Another method, which intensifies the regime of technological autocracy, is also the new identity cards which include fingerprints and precise biometric data, thus constituting another arrow in the system’s quiver.
This climate of rot and misery is also confirmed by the new “anti-worker” bill, which legalizes 13 hours of slavery, “alternating” hours and outlaws strikes. It is therefore clear that living conditions in prison societies are becoming increasingly difficult.
Our minds and hearts could not fail to include those who are confined within the cells of bourgeois democracy, the visible prisons. Within the walls, the prisoners are waging a struggle of maximum alliance against the new penal code by carrying out hunger strikes and rationing.
Therefore, those who do not actively defy the system and power in general are equally as guilty as the oppressors, thus perpetuating our enslavement.
We propose counter-attack by every means, up to and including the demolition of the last prison, “visible and invisible”, and practical solidarity with the individuals who are under the fire of power.
