Three days of diffusion and propaganda of anarchist ideas. Three days of books, meetings, presentations and discussions to talk about the history and actuality of anarchist thought and action, about the indissoluble link that unites them and about their ability to affect the world in the perspective of changing it.Paris,France : Enedis car set on fire
Paris : Enedis car set on fire
via: Attaque
With fire starters placed under the front wheel and a lighter I set fire to an Enedis electric car during a night at the beginning of this month of May.
Because this company participates in the endless development of this horrible civilization and its dependence on electricity.

A Call from the Dark Dungeons – 2021
Millions of people are in the prisons and dungeons of the world’s rulers. Countless people are on death row, others are there for days, weeks or months, and still others have been there for decades. Only a few weeks ago, it was announced in Germany that Hans-Georg would be released in 2021. It was January 20, 1962, when the Berlin prison gates closed behind Hans-Georg – he has been in custody since that day. He had shot two people after a robbery.
Long-term incarceration is in some ways similar to the death penalty; only, perfidiously, with the death penalty the state is more honest, openly wanting to kill the delinquent. With decades of imprisonment, death is also the often realistic prospect of escaping the walls, but on the way there, body and soul wither away.

Anarchist comrade Natascia Savio temporarily transferred to Vigevano prison (Italy, May 2021)
This morning [May 28] we learned that Natascia has been temporarily transferred to the prison of Vigevano in order to get closer to Turin, for the hearing of the Scintilla trial this morning and the next one, which will be held on June 16.
Further updates will follow.
To write to her:
Natascia Savio
C. C. di Vigevano
via Gravellona 240
27029 Vigevano (Pv)
Italia – Italy
Note: Natascia was arrested on May 21, 2019 along with two other comrades for “Prometeo” repressive operation, carried out by the ROS (“Special Operational Grouping”) of carabinieri. The main charge is “attack with the purpose of terrorism”, as they are held responsible for sending three parcel bombs that arrived in June 2017 to prosecutors Rinaudo (prosecutor in several trials against the antagonist movement and anarchists) and Sparagna (prosecutor in the Scripta Manent trial) and to Santi Consolo, at the time director of the DAP (“Department of Penitentiary Administration”) in Rome. Natascia and Beppe are currently in prison for the “Prometeo” operation, the trial of which is ongoing in Genoa. The comrade is also a defendant (free, but under investigation) in the trial that followed the “Scintilla” operation of February 7, 2019, on charges of “subversive association”.

Berlin,Germany: Sabotaging the Tesla industrial complex at the source
via: sansnom, Translated by Act for freedom now!
———-
Monday 17 May 2021, the famous millionaire boss of SpaceX and Tesla Elon Musk moved to Grünheide, a small town situated east of the German capital in the Brandebourg, to visit the site of his future luxury electric cars factory, which will be his fourth « Gigafactory » in the world (after those of the United States and China), exploiting 12 000 people. He announced its opening programmed for the end of 2021, where Tesla should produce a quota of 500 000 Model Y cars, but also battery cells, making it the biggest factory in Europe in the field.
In the night of 25 to Wednesday 26 at around 3am, his beautiful projects got a little smoke in their wings however and will be delayed. In fact, at about 250 metres from the Tesla factory site of Berlin/Grünheide – more precisely right next to the A10 motorway at the level of the Freienbrink exit – the Volcan group successfully set fire to six high voltage electric cables (110,000 volts) of the Edis company which supplied the site and were in a dedicated corridor behind a fence.

Montreuil, France: Paving stone against windows, Axians out! on 18/2/21
During a little night walk I broke the windows of a van of Axians, affiliate of Vinci, in solidarity with RIgaer 94.
This act is motivated by my solidarity with Rigaer 94, combative squat in Berlin for years. Now it is being threatened by the cops and the owner, supposedly for fire-security. Continue reading Montreuil, France: Paving stone against windows, Axians out! on 18/2/21
Athens,Greece: International Solidarity to the 3 Imprisoned anarchist comrades( German/Greek)
from: athens.indymedia.
International Solidarity to the 3 Imprisoned comrades
The trial of the anarchist prisoners Konstantina Athanasopoulou, Giannis Michailidis, Dimitra Valavani begins on May 31. The comrades had been arrested after an operation of the anti-terrorist unit in the area of Agia Paraskevi in a stolen vehicle in which a weapon was found. Giannis took full responsibility for this. From the first moment of their arrest, a campaign was launched to discredit and criminalize by the media.
Meanwhile numerous accusations were added to their trial in order to frame the comrade as a “criminal organization” with the implication of a more severe sentence. In the trial that starts on May 31, the essence is that the state will try to condemn the struggle choices of our comrades in order to show through their exemplary punishment the futility of the struggle. Risky and costly choices, such as escape from prison, the choice of means, practical solidarity with the persecuted were, are and will remain an integral part of the history of the anarchist struggle.

The book in italian language “La guerra di classe in Spagna: 1973. Gangsters o rivoluzionari?” has been published (Italy)
“Written paper represents a fundamental element, both for revolutionary movements and for individualities determined to act. Historical experiences of struggle and armed agitation have always equipped themselves with pamphlets, libraries, mimeographs and whatever else was necessary to produce autonomously the material to be diffused. The times? Long. The places? Often cramped. People? Reliable, before being specialized or computerized militants. It is in the structuring of these physicalities that the threads of the actions are recomposed, that the enemy is identified, that it is possible to better establish where to strike him, anticipating and unmasking his next moves” (from the introductory note).
“Revolutionaries or gangsters? A title that says it all. Formulated at the time in a critical manner towards those European ‘revolutionaries’ who, in the years preceding Puig Antich’s death, had done their best to obfuscate the innovative energy that the MIL–GAC (Movimiento Ibérico de Liberación – Grupos Autonomos de Combate) was bringing to the post-1968 European revolutionary panorama.

Bologna, Italy – AGAINST ALL BORDERS AND THEIR VIOLENCE!
May14th in the morning the sentence was being pronounced in the court of Bolzano against 63 comrades accused of devastation and looting following a demo against borders that took place in Brenner on May 7th 2016, for whom prosecutors were asking for over 300 years’ prison. Meanwhile, a group of comrades went to Bologna station to the platform where an OBB train to Munich was about to leave and pass through the border where an anti-immigrant barrier was to have been erected in 2016 by the Italian and Austrian states. For months anyone on those trains who didn’t have a white face was subjected to police control.
Today a banner was unfurled on the platform along with a spoken intervention as leaflets were handed out to the passengers to remind them and everybody else that borders continue to kill and that those who are against them or try to cross them are harshly repressed.
SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE ON TRIAL FOLLOWING THE DEMO IN BRENNER!
Here is the leaflet distributed during the initiative:

After midnight…
Just a few minutes after midnight on May 23 2021 we placed an explosive device composed of black powder and butane gas at number 7700 of the Calzada del Hueso, in the Tlapan area, town of Mexico, with the aim of destroying the installations of Banjèrcito, [a bank belonging to the Mexican armed forces] an objective that we fully accomplished.
We did it because…

We remember Mauricio Morales, a Chilean anarchist comrade who died tragically on May 22 2009, while transporting an explosive device apparently destined for the school of prison screws of Barrio Matta, in Santiago… You are present comrade !
We hear the call to action launched by the anarchist prisoners throughout the world. From Mexico to Greece, from Montevideo to Belgium, from Argentina to the United Kingdom, may armed joy continue to find us!
