Genoa,: Claim for the incendiary attack on some vehicles of Iren in solidarity with anarchist prisoners.
Democracy cannot allow certain thoughts to be spelled out clearly, and certain words to be used with impunity, because they might catch on among the oppressed, the excluded. These words without stakes take on greater weight for me because they have cost me and will cost me more years in jail, but it is my way of resisting, of fighting back.
Alfredo Cospito (January 2021)
In the night of 31st March we attacked some vehicles of the IREN company with fire, Italy’s leading district heating service company, operating in electricity production and distribution and technology services.
IREN is a new company but with a veteran entrepreneurial posture in line with all other criminal multinationals like ENI and Benetton who profit from the destruction and plundering of territories around the planet. That was sufficient for putting the IREN group in our sights; if we then add news of recent weeks, that IREN struck agreements with the Israeli Mekorot water company implementing water apartheid to the Palestinian people, then the decision to attack it was more than spot on.
Our thoughts go to Alfredo who with his struggle, true manifesto of dignity and freedom, has given us the strength and courage to put ourselves on the line. May the flames of this attack warm his body exhausted by more than five months’ hunger strike. We end here with one clarification: we do not participate in the dichotomy that politicians and the regime’s media are passing off, of a struggle between an anarchist against the State. Anarchists have always declared war on authority for almost two centuries, certainly not on the 20th of October 2022 – the start of Alfredo’s hunger strike. You must understand that if Alfredo were to die or stay alive, if Alfredo were free or will remain a prisoner, we already declared ourselves your arch-enemies long ago and will continue to be so, no matter how things go.
A WARM THOUGHT TO ANNA, IVAN AND JUAN.
REVOLUTIONARY SOLIDARITY TO THE ANARCHIST PRISONERS ALL OVER THE WORLD!
LONG LIVE THE BLACK INTERNATIONAL!
LONG LIVE ANARCHY! DEATH TO THE STATE!
