Attack on HERON, (infrastructure, production, supply and trade of electricity,) a subsidiary of the GEK TERNA Group

For the past two weeks, we have been witnessing a trial unfold, one in which the authorities are striving to downplay the political nature of the case and distract attention by talking about armed terrorists and other familiar clichés to reinforce the narrative that those being
prosecuted in the Ampelokipi case were and are a potential danger to society. In reality, of course, for the past two weeks we have seen our comrades maintain their political dignity intact, as well as the memory of our comrade Kyriakos, through their stance in court and throughout their imprisonment.

It has been over a year since the explosion in the apartment on Arkadias Street, an explosion that would change the lives of dozens of people. A few hours after the explosion, the building was sealed off for inspection by counterterrorism authorities, and a few days later, the apartment building was deemed uninhabitable. Repairs to the building’s damage were contracted out to TERNA, the conglomerate that, among other things, collaborated with the murderous state of Israel, is implicated in the scandal involving the hollow dams in Volos, the construction of Type C prisons, the covering up in of the crime scene at Tempi, and the
plundering of entire tracts of land in the name of green redevelopment.

However, over the past year and a half, the restoration of the building has not progressed at all, in order to reinforce the targeting of our comrades as terrorists who put people’s lives at risk, but also in the public sphere where the suffering of residents who still cannot return to their homes is perpetually reproduced.

It is obvious that, in collaboration with the state, TERNA is deliberately prolonging the residents’ suffering, seeking to demonstrate the severity of the costs incurred by the explosion, even though in other circumstances (see Tempi) they proceeded to immediately carry out the orders they had received. At this point, we would like to emphasize that the people who have lost their homes have our full solidarity because our struggle,
just like the struggle waged on October 31st in that apartment, is
universal; it stands with all those living under the yoke of state
injustice. For these reasons, in the early hours of Wednesday, April 15, we chose to smash the entire storefront of the electricity company HERON’s shop, a subsidiary of the TERNA Group, on Voulgari Street as a minimal gesture of solidarity with those being prosecuted in the Ampelokipi case, but also in memory of our comrade Kyriakos Ximitiris.

Revolutionary memory is living history. The fighters who gave their
lives are not only a source of inspiration, but also a driving force for
today’s struggle. People like Kyriakos Ximitiris, Christos Kasimis, and Lambros Fountas will forever be a battle cry on the thorny path toward social insurgence; they will be on the front lines of our struggles, always looking toward the path of resistance. And they departed as they lived. In this war, they fell fighting, choosing life.
