At midnight on Thursday 3/4, we set fire to a van belonging to the Avance company in the Upper Town.

This company is a Greek company that has evolved and is making huge profits by exploiting the “most productive sector of the Greek economy”, tourism. With branches in all tourist areas and mainly the islands, it proves to us the lie of the ruling class that the development of tourism is good for all of us. They see the super profits of Greek and foreign capital, while we have a different picture.

For us, tourism is the 6-month season, gruelling 12-hour days, containers, “underwater services” and the exploitation of workers. For us, tourism is reflected in the murder of Antonis Kargiotis who was considered a refugee because he did not fit the profile of the rich white tourist. And of course, tourism means in our everyday life Airbnb, extremely expensive rents, a change in the structure of cities with the centres filled with hotels, shops and luxurious houses, while those who live and work here but do not fit the image built by capital are expelled to the suburbs. In two words, tourism means CLASS WAR.

A war that goes hand in hand with the already harsh social war that has been raging in recent years with the right-wing government. In this war we have taken a clear position. We oppose capital, both Greek and foreign. We sabotage the “tourism machine with all means”. We destroy the image of the “beautiful country-tourist destination” with practical propaganda and provocations damaging the state apparatus.
This action is dedicated to the Anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris! The comrade will live forever through the flames of our attacks!

Strength to the detained comrade K.K. who is being prosecuted for the arson of a police vehicle.

Solidarity with the comrades in custody for the Ampelokipi case.

Faith in the struggle – trust in our strengths – not a single step back!

Anarchist arsons

P.S. As these lines were being written, we learned of another murder of a worker. A 59-year-old cleaner was murdered in the hotel she worked at in Santorini island . Our attack is dedicated to her as well as to all the anonymous victims of capital.
