Responsibility claim about the incendiary attack on MG dealership
in Vyronas 9/10/25
All who are lost in the fires of the struggle never die
Every October is black, every thought we have is black, every action we take is black. Since October 31, 2024, our hearts have been frozen upon hearing the news of the death of our anarchist comrade and guerilla Kyriakos Xymitiris. In an apartment on Arkadias Street, in Ambelokipi area, the comrade was killed while working on an explosive device and his anarchist comrade Marianna M. was seriously injured.
What happened next is pretty well known when it comes to the state’s witch hunts against anarchists. After comrade Marianna
was taken to Evanggelismos Hospital, all kinds of tactics and torture were used by the cops and the investigating authorities.
Subsequently, anarchist comrade Dimitra Z. and comrade Dimitris are arrested on insufficient evidence. A few days later, anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos and A.K. are also arrested. In fact, the only incriminating evidence against the latter two is a fingerprint on a bag, which is a classic tactic used by the EL.AS.(Greek police) to fabricate charges, since a fingerprint on a mobile object is not reliable evidence.
Anarchist comrade and armed fighter Kyriakos was present in all
aspects of the anarchist struggle. He participated on the streets,
assemblies, and protests, showing solidarity with persecuted and imprisoned fighters, with people who had been targeted by repression. His activity included the use of all means: from social actions to more confrontational ones, without him distinguishing or hierarchizing the means he used.
He was a fighter with boundless humility, political awareness, and
responsibility, an inexhaustible willingness to help and assist in his
own way: from the struggles for the liberation of Exarchia
from repression and gentrification, the anti-fascist front, the
clashes in the streets, the workers’ struggles alongside the unions
to the struggles in solidarity with immigrants, squatters,
and prisoners. His name, his memory, and his presence are
always with us in every moment of rebellion, action, and attack.
Responding to the call of our comrades Marianna M. and
Dimitra Z. for an October filled with actions, an October
of remembrance and honor for our anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris, we took to the the street of fire, with Kyriakos in our minds, hearts, and eyes, sending an incendiary signal for direct action. We chose to attack in the early hours of Thursday 9/10 the MG dealership in the Vyronas area.
A few words about both the company and the dealership:
This is a British company that has previously
supplied law enforcement vehicles to other countries, with notable
examples being Britain and Australia. Furthermore, with this move,
we wanted to strike a small blow against British capital, with
reference to the British state and its long-standing colonial and
imperialist character in countries of the so-called “Third World” and
Latin America. We also consider the English state to be a subsidiary of the American state in the international geopolitical arena and jointly responsible for the establishment and reinforcement of the nationalist policy of the state of Israel, which resulted in the occupation of territories where Palestinian populations had lived since 1948 and the genocide of the Palestinians today in 2025.
The crocodile tears of the Western political elite, led by
the clown Trump, and the rhetoric about ending the war
are a smokescreen for Netanyahu’s monstrous crimes,
and this makes the West’s position even more insidious.
At the same time, the deliberate distortion of reality and the
illusory promises of a truce are a dangerous underestimation
of our intellectual capacity. The protagonist in this same play is, of
course, Netanyahu’s collaborator, Mitsotakis, who, after
turning a blind eye to the genocide of an entire people, supports
nowdays the aformentioned propaganda about peace and reconciliation. The betrayals on the Palestinian issue are as vulgar as the state’s attitude towards the state and capitalist murder at Tembi and the disrespect for the dead peoples’ relatives.
We are not surprised; his political ancestors are the same people
who collaborated with the British army at the end of the civil war
to isolate, execute, and torture resistance fighters who dreamed of a different world and established the narrative of peace and reconciliation post-war, whitewashing the murders of bourgeois democracy, which paved the way for the junta of the colonels.
Finally, the local representatives of this company, the Filosidis
brothers, manage another dealership that also supplies
vehicles to the police, i.e. today’s torturers, namely
Peugeot. We conclude that their role is not accidental and we hold them accountable as part of the existing bourgeois class that collaborates with murderers.
We do not live under the illusion that these actions alone are
sufficient. They are a small contribution to the mosaic of the widespread anarchist struggle. A fiery signal of solidarity with our comrades who are being persecuted for the Ampelokipi case, as well as with all the prisoners of the social and class war. It is a link in a chain of incendiary events on the streets. The return of the violence from those below, the anarchists, the fighters, debunks the narrative of the omnipotence of the state today, even with the means and
services it mobilizes. It is a proposal for breaking the fear
alongside all the other imperatives of insurrectionalist anarchy:
clashes in protests, attacks, conspiracies, sabotage, aggressive
solidarity, and direct action. It is a reminder that the dead of the
social war are with us and we will remember them forever
through our actions.
It is our duty to honor our fallen comrades and to
preserve the revolutionary memory that shapes the historical
continuity of the struggle, inspires us, strengthens us, and, like a
well-sharpened knife, carves our strategy.
The action is wholeheartedly dedicated to the anarchist comrade and armed guerilla Kyriakos Xymitiris.
