——–

In the afternoon of October 31, a massive explosion blew up the third floor apartment of a building in the Ampelokipoi neighbourhood in Athens.

Anarchist comrade Marianna was pulled out from the rubble alive and is in a serious condition in the Evangelismos hospital, in the hands of the police. The anarchist comrade Kyriakos didn’t make it and did not survive. The police and subserviant media talk
of a sudden detonation during the preparation of an explosive device. They say (and write) much more. Chatter that will not find space in these few lines. The antiterrorist unit are foaming at the mouth, excited by the blood of the enemy within to throw in jail (and in the newspapers). The words that count are those of the
comrades, they are the only ones that will be taken into consideration.

An anarchist, somewhere
November 2024

October 31, forever in the heart of every
fighter. With anger and determination we
stand by our comrades

On 10/31/24, after an explosion in an apartment in
the Ampelokipi area of Athens, our anarchist
comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for
social and class liberation, while our anarchist
comrade Marianna M., who was also in the
apartment, ended up in Annunciation hospital with
multiple injuries. Two more people were arrested at
the same time and taken to the investigator where
the comrade Dimitris and the anarchist comrade
Dimitra were remanded in custody. While remaining
a pluri-injured patient in Evangelismos hospital for
15 days, and just one day after two operations in a
row, anarchist comrade Marianna was transferred
to Korydallos prison in the morning of Friday 11/
15.

Pressure from the anti-terrorist trash that work in
close cooperation with the investigator in charge of
the case, resulted in the comrade being discharged
and taken to the women’s prison of Korydallos
where there is not even a hospital and therefore no
possibility of her being provided with appropriate
care for her injuries. We make it clear in all directions,
whatever happens to our comrade will have
consequences and will not be left unanswered. Such
impositions of state power are clearly torture.

On November 18, amid the general climate of the
last few days, comrade Nikos Romanos was
arrested by the “anti-terrorist” unit for a fingerprint
on a bag in which a weapon had been found. This is
a weak item as it is on a movable object. However,
it was enough to start new media propaganda about
supposedly hard evidence, which “binds the case”
of Ampelokipi, hoping to open a new round of
prosecutions. At the same time, on the comrade’s
arrival in GADA the anti-terrorist unit had already
leaked the “news” to its establishment mouthpieces
in order to start media condemnation of him before
he even passed through the investigator’s door.

This is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that we are
witnessing an attempt by the state apparatus to set
up cases targeting male and female fighters and
attacking the world of the struggle. Once again they
will find themselves facing those of us who choose
to stand on the correct side of history, despite the
difficulties and the pervasive climate of defeatism.
We will be next to the comrade Nikos Romanos as
we will be with every comrade who faces the state’s
repressive tactics. Against the world of
personalisation and fatalism, we advance the
struggle with all means.

We strengthen each other, we defend our comrades. Hands off the
comradely and friendship environment, no one
will be left alone against the repressive campaign
of the state and capital. In the face of counterterrorism
tactics and media cannibalism, may our
solidarity be a bulwark for our captive comrades
and any further prosecutions. Repression does
not scare us and we stand by them without
hesitation.

The cannibalism of the comrades’ faces and bodies
started with every kind of method of the entire state
apparatus under the guidance of the anti-terrorist
service and the minister of ÐÑÏÐÏ (Hellenic
Ministry of Citizen Protection) Chrysochoidis.

Their slandering on TV channels and front pages of the
well-known media snitches is yet another part of
the nauseating role of state and capitalist media
propaganda.

The detailed reporting and publication of photos and
videos even from the scene of the incident is a
testimony to the dead comrade and reflects the
brutality meted out to his family and loved ones. At
the same time, with the depoliticisation of our
comrades’ action, an attempt is being made to
present them as amoral bombers who destroy
citizens’ homes, with the aim of isolating them socially, leaving them exposed to repression.

The state, its ideological mechanisms and capital are once
again attempting to break the lines of the antagonist
movement, to deconstruct its political contents,
choices of struggle and decades of revolutionary
tradition. Before the comrade Marianna regains her
strength and speaks as she wishes, and as the dead
comrade would wish, they have furiously unleashed
state propaganda against them, against the entire
world of the Struggle and its choices. We stand
adamantly against this, defending the revolutionary
Cause, but also the will of the people who are in the
sights of the repression.

It is not for the snitches of the state apparatus and
capital to talk about the events of 31/10 and the
political choices of struggle that led up to them. The
comrade who lived through them and is paying a
heavy price and the comrades being prosecuted for
them will speak first, when they choose.

The antagonist movement will speak, and also those
of us who were in many different forms of struggle
together with the comrade Kyriakos and the
comrade Marianna, who were inspired and continue
to be inspired by their clear vision and unyielding
comradeship. We who recognize their presence in
all the fields of the struggle, and realize that the
comrades are the embodiment of the open
movement dialogue. The comrades have dedicated
their lives to the struggle against oppression, to build
a world of equality and freedom, taking on
responsibilities and choices that led Kyriakos to his
death, and Marianna a multi-trauma prisoner.

Through their attitude and presence they have given
themselves mind, body and soul to the revolutionary
Cause, and through this route they are in the forefront
of the society in struggle. Faced with a world that
marginalizes any person who does not fit into its
normality, the options of revolutionary
counter violence and armed struggle are an integral
part of the multiform struggle, transcending the limits
of bourgeois legitimacy and challenging the state
monopoly of violence. It is such choices of struggle
that keep the thread of rebellion alive. Such choices
are an integral part of a historical insurrectionary
continuity, which keeps the vision of social revolution
alive in our hearts and minds.

The operation to undermine the revolutionary
discourse and the subsequent repression show that
the bastards in the service of state terror fear the people who do not compromise with injustice,  inequality, exploitation. Against the propaganda and intimidatory operation of the state and the bosses,
as well as the attempt to depoliticize upgraded
choices, we are first responding politically, regardless
of the specific case. We owe it – apart from all others
– to all those who gave their lives, who were
imprisoned, who fought through so many years of
social and class war. Armed struggle is an integral
part of the radical movement, the multifaceted social
and class struggle, deeply rooted in our fighting
tradition, and we defend it non-negotiably.
