An aeronautics factory targeted by arson in Ardèche
France3/Le Dauphiné/France Bleu, March 27, 2023 (excerpts)
Around 5 a.m. this Monday, March 27, 2023, two fires broke out in the industrial building of the Fregate Aero company in Beauchastel in Ardèche, which specializes in the manufacture of aeronautical parts for the civilian and military sectors [Dassault, Airbus Helicopters and Safran groups]. Thick smoke spread over 1,000 square meters in the 6,000 square meter warehouse. Fifteen people were evacuated early this morning. 120 people work on the site, some of whom are cleaning up the damage at midday. Some of the company’s employees are out of work today.
Sixteen firemen were mobilized until 8 am. Quickly, the criminal hypothesis was confirmed, with the presence of two locations the fire was started. A ventilation grille, located at the back of the building, was forced open and a compressor was destroyed by the flames. In addition, a tag, written on the site in red spray paint and in capital letters, reads: “Behind the war, ordinary factories”.

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for the attack on the central MAT riot cops’ den in Goudi area.
We take responsibility for the massive arson attack that took place at the central premises of the riot police in Goudi on Tuesday 28 March. Our action comes as a minimal response to the orgy of repression unleashed by the New Democracy government against the mass and militant protests against the state-capitalist crime in Tempe.
The government’s law and order doctrine is the other side of neoliberal policies, class inequality, poverty and privatisation. In the run-up to the election period, attacking the law and order doctrine, attacking the forces of repression, causing unrest targeting, among others, the pigs of the police, is a priority in order to defeat in practice this political doctrine that has left dead and wounded in its wake.

We want anarchy. We want freedom and autonomy for all without domination and borders. We want the subversion of the existing. We want social revolution.
So that our will and our ideas won‘t stay phrases without content, we have to confront ourselves with the surrounding reality—that is, with those conditions and this world in which we‘re forced to live here and now.
That‘s why we create a public space, to come together, meet each other and start to talk to one another.
We want to discuss. In bigger and smaller sessions, with new faces and known ones.
Where are we? How ought we struggle? Where to intervene, without compromise, organisations and without getting trapped in politics? And with whom? What does it mean to talk about revolt, insurrection and social revolution in a world striving for the abyss on the one hand and turning a digital prison on the other?
The meeting will take place from the 13th to the 16th of April 2023 in Bielefeld.
All anarchists, wild hearts, free spirits, subversives, and rebels recognizing themselves in this invitation are welcome.
There will be sleeping spaces and food. The number of sleeping spaces isn’t infinite. The earlier you let us know you are coming, the better. Additionally, there are parking spaces close by for those who bring their vans to sleep.
You will find a detailed program and more information in March on this blog: https://acat.noblogs.org/
Email: acat[ät]supernormal.net
So far, we have been considering the following topics:
• anarchist perspectives on war • recuperation of struggles by political parties, organisations, and other authoritarian sects • anarchist perspectives and interventions in social struggles (i.e. youth revolts) • social revolution in the face of dystopian conditions • anti-patriarchal struggles • dealing with repression, prison, and persecution • struggles against the digital enclosure of the world
In the meantime, there will be a lot of space to hang out an get to know each other. Bring your distros!

Boves (Somme): sabotaging rail traffic
“Malicious acts” on the SNCF network near Boves
Courrier Picard, March 28, 2023
Several “malicious acts” have caused disruptions this Tuesday, March 28 on the SNCF network. The TER lines Amiens-Creil and Amiens-Arras suffered delays, between 5 am and 7 am, before traffic resumed normally despite some residual delays until mid-day.
The SNCF does not wish to communicate precisely what these acts of malice are, probably related to the social protest against the pension reform. “It is a disturbance of the tracks that has prevented the movement of trains, several times, “she said. Near the town of Boves near Amiens.
The SNCF Grenoble-Valence line stopped after the cables are sabotaged
Le Dauphiné, March 23, 2023
Telecom and signal cables were cut in three places in Vinay and Saint-Hilaire-du-Rosier on Tuesday mid-day. These acts have caused a total halt to rail traffic on this line, which is not expected to reopen until Thursday.
According to our information, these actions were carried out at three different points on the line: at kilometre point (KP) 59, located in the municipality of Vinay, at KP 38.100, located in Saint-Hilaire-du-Rosier, and 500 metres further north, at KP 38.600. Probably carried out by people who were familiar with the technical characteristics and function of these cables, the sabotage involved Telecom installations and the power supply to the signalling system of this railroad line: tools without which safety can no longer be guaranteed.

Mapuche Political Prisoners of Lebu, Angol, and Temuco in Solidarity with Temucuicui and Pilmaiken Against Escalated Government Repression
March 7, 2023
Mapuche political prisoners of the Lebu, Angol, and Temuco prisons issue communiques demonstrating their solidarity and concern faced with the events that represent escalated repression against communities in resistence by the current government.
They also mention the three Mapuche political prisoners in the Angol prison – Palacios Cañuta, Simón Huenchullan Millanao and Jorge Palacios Cañuta, who have been on hunger strike since February 27 for their transfer to CET (Study and Work Center) in Victoria. From Lebu they say they are alert to this situation and do not rule out the possibility of mobilizations.
At the same time they call for the communities in resistence and Mapuche autonomist movement to strengthen themselves in the face of what is a clear persecution on the part of the current social democratic government and in conjunction with sectors of the ultra-right and those which are historically anti-Mapuche. The repressive policies are deepening in order to ensure extractive capitalist investments in Wallmapu (the great Mapuche territory).

Vehicles of the prison administration vandalized at the detention center
Le Progrès, March 21, 2023
This Tuesday, in the beginning of evening, three unmarked vehicles of the prison administration of Roanne were degraded. They were parked at the bottom of the parking lot of the detention center of Roanne reserved for the personnel, accessible by an automatic metal gate and surrounded by a fence.
Prison staff chased off two individuals dressed in black, one of whom tried to set fire to a vehicle. The latter fled in the direction of the canal before the arrival of police officers. This Tuesday, at 8:30 pm, police officers were present at the scene to make observations.

Important updates on the health condition and the condition of inprisonment for the anarchist Alfredo Cospito
Alfredo has NOT ended the hunger strike!
The news circulated in the media these days is false and slanderous, as is now the habit in this story: he was offered milk, but Alfredo refused it. If he decides to start eating again, he will follow the instructions given to him by his trusted doctor some time ago.
In view of the hearing on April 18, he decided to resume supplements: potassium to stabilize the heart, vitamins to try to stem the neurological problem in the lower limbs, and proteins. After the hearing at the constitutional court in Rome, called to express itself on the legal legitimacy of granting or not extenuating circumstances in relation to the conviction for 285 c. p. (“massacre for the purpose of undermining the security of the State”, which only provides for life imprisonment) decreed by the cassation in the context of the Scripta Manent process, will decide how to proceed.
Anti-State Gathering-Demo in Solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker (since 10/20/22 in Italy) Alfredo Cospito on Sunday April 9th, at 13:00, Thiseio Metro Station .
FREEDOM TO ALFREDO COSPITO
FIRE TO 41 BIS AND ALL FORMS OF INCARCERATION
Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist who has always been active in the frontline of struggles. He was never willing to compromise nor to give up. He is a comrade who has been fighting since the end of the 80’s, a period during which he was imprisoned as a total conscientious objector (for refusing to serve mandatory military services).
Alfredo has always been active in defending comrades affected by repression, in every corner of the world. He has been contributing for many years with articles, editorial projects and proposals to the international anarchist discussion/debate. For this reason, he has been censored many times and his communication with the “outside world” has been forbidden. He has been in prison for 10 years (since 2012), during which he was in High Security prison sectors until he was transferred to 41bis inMay 2022, from Terni prison to Bankali prison in Sassari.
The 41bis prison regime entails 24/7 electronic surveillance, 1 person per cell of 2×3 meters, 1 hour per day for socializing in a group of 4 people (the seperation into these groups is decided directly by the bureaucrats in Rome and is valid for several months), 1 visit per month of 1 hour with no physical contact, separation with glass divider, under electronic surveillance, with audio and video recording (only if the family members are unable to visit, a monthly 10-minute phone call is allowed as an alternative, but to do so, the prisoner’s family member must go to a police station or in some prison), no physical contact, censorship and control of written material, presence at court only through video-conferences.
Venice: appeal sentence for Anarchist comrade Juan
We’re making it known that on March 28 our Juanito, sentenced to 28 years’ prison in first grade for an action against the premises of the League of Villorba (TV) in 2018, had his sentence reduced to 14 years and 10 months by the appeal court of Venice.
Nevertheless this is still a very high sentence for an action which – beyond the intentions of the anonymous attackers – caused neither dead nor wounded.
Full solidarity to Juan!
