We receive and spread:
Today, 4th May, a provincial court made public the rejection of a request for the release of the six prisoners being held in custody since 27 of February.
Judges don’t care about our comrades and friends being deprived of freedom for 67 days already, about the inconsistency of the evidence or disproportionate charges. In the face of this response we persist. We continue and will continue to give them solidarity and to demand their freedom.

Berlin,Germany : Riot on May 1th 2021
received by email:
The Central Committee of Berlin Autonomists summarizes the evening of May 1st and draws a preliminary conclusion.
The revolutionary May 1st demonstration attracted far more people than expected to Hermannplatz. In the end, over 20,000 people were counted who wanted to march together through Neukölln and Kreuzberg. After the cops initially blocked the demo to then complain about distances, they attacked the anarchist and the Interkiezionale block completely out of thin air and separated both (along with thousands of other people) from the rest of the demo. In addition, they claimed that no masks were being worn in these blocks – which, given the exemplary masking of the blocks, is really the last thing to object to. The demonstration was planned de-escalatively and was supposed to be a safe place for all people, but it could not be after the attacks of the cops. Subsequently, the situation escalated „in the short term“ as police chief Slowik accurately stated. In the process, the cops completely lost control and had to retreat in fear from Sonnenallee again and again. For several hours they did not get proper access to the neighborhood but instead experienced the strongest May riots in the last 10 years.
The strategy of the police did not work out at all, the new head of operations had hundreds of cops waiting in Kreuzberg at Hamburg bars and light poles. In addition, there were incompetent and overtaxed dog units from Baden-Würtemberg, Saxony-Anhalt and NRW. We hope that they will not forget their trip to Berlin too quickly.
Athens,Greece: Attack on Tax Office in Solidarity with Anarchists Sentenced in Revolutionary Self-Defense Trial in Cholargos area
As anarchists, we believe we do not need to write much about choosing the target. These are state structures that contribute to the economic bleeding of the poor, and to drive people out of their homes, or lead to suicide and depression. Similar hits have been made by other teams in the past.
On April 23, two anarchist comrades, D. Chatzivasileiadis and V. Stathopoulos, were convicted by the civil justice. The first to be illegally detained for a year and a half, he has taken responsibility for the armament, the expropriation and for the guerrilla organization: Revolutionary Self-Defense. The second is a hostage of the state for the reason that he stood in solidarity when Chatzivasileiadis asked for his help after his injury during the expropriation of the state casino. The judicial mafia charged V. Stathopoulos with 19 years of imprisonment and D. Chatzivasileiadis to 16 years where he was tried in absentia.
So we reflexively chose, decided and hit with inflammatory moods four days after the trial on April 28 as a sign of solidarity with the comrades. Our goal was the Tax Officein Cholargos, a few meters away from the house where the weapons were found and other evidence regarding the case of Revolutionary Self-Defense. We took it for granted to act immediately and do the least to give a fire to our comrades, a smile of solidarity.

Italy : State of reanimation
State of reanimation
The general crisis – health, economic, institutional – continues to tighten the screw. A revolt in Naples, hospitals shut down, the renewal of work contracts for logistics and factory workers, the question of prison. We are just at the beginning. And the stink of the spectre of half-lock-down is starting to appear, which will be worse than the first.
Why half-lock-down is worse than a whole one
The press are now giving it for certain: maximum 7-10 days. It should be noted that in recent weeks all forecasts have been 
“reviewed” in anticipation of events. But what will the half-lockdown be? It will still be the same old mass quarantine like last spring, with the difference of continuing to go to work.
In this permanent dystopia, reality continues to surpass the most perverse imagination of science-fiction authors: not just a virus reducing humanity to house arrest, we are now facing a society where we only get out of our domestic cell in order to go to be exploited. As written in the latest issue of Vetriolo, which has just come out, «in this era of ours the energies of the exploited are being frozen in many senses so that they can be defrosted later, only in the moment of production » (see Vetriolo, issue 5, ‘State of pandemic’). A post-consumerist capitalism, where the old produce-consume-die is no longer there, now reduced to the binary: produce-die. In this system women and men in flesh and blood are only useful if they can work.
Appeal verdict in the “Panico” trial (Florence, Italy, May 4, 2021)
On May 4, 2021, the second instance of the Panico trial at the Florence court of appeal concluded fairly quickly.
In summary, among the main news there is the fall of the associative crime (article 416, criminal association) for nine comrades convicted in the first instance and the acquittal of Giovanni for the facts of 2017 New Year’s Eve [the bomb against CasaPound’s Il Bargello bookshop, which exploded and seriously injured a police sapper officer] (from a sentence of 9 years and 10 months to 3 months for a spray writing). The sentences for the facts of the Melograno (the brawl with the cops outside a concert), for which two comrades were acquitted, remain heavy: five others were sentenced with sentences all around 3 and a half years. The sentence of the comrade accused of robbery for having stolen two bottles of wine worth 20 euro (2 years and 3 months, plus a fine) also remained unchanged, as well as the sentences (although lowered compared to the first instance) for the assault and firecracker attack on the CasaPound bookshop (January–February 2016). Finally, Ghespe and Paska were convicted for the 2017 New Year’s Eve events, with sentences reduced from 9 years (Ghespe) and 9 years and 5 months (Paska) to 8 years for both.

Las Condes, Chile : Explosive attack against BancoEstado
via: Attaque
source : Contra Info / Tuesday 4 May 2021
The night of 3rd May, after more than 42 days of hunger strike of our compas Mónica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Joaquín García, Pablo Bahamondez, Juan Flores and Marcelo Villarroel.
A few minutes before the start of the curfew, we headed for the neighbourhoods where there was no banging of pots to demand crumbs from this murderous government. Neighbourhoods inhabited by those who, in spite of the pandemic situation, have increased their wealth enormously while in other parts of the territory dominated by the Chilean State, hunger and poverty are the daily lot of many people.
We attacked this symbol of money and capital, a bank in avenue Apoquindo, at the corner of avenida Manquehue, in Las Condes [commune in the rich suburb of Santiago – BancoEstado belongs to the Chilean State; French NdAtt.]. This in solidarity with the compas on hunger strike since March 22 for the abrogation of the amendments of the decree law n. 321. They are using their bodies as the only trench in their gesture of defiance against the prison structure and its judiciary.

Switzerland: LafargeHolcim sabotages the planet, we sabotage LafargeHolcim!
Translated by act for freedom now!
——-
The Chico Mendes commando paid a visit to the LafargeHolcim gravel quarry in Bière. Several construction vehicles (excavators, pick-ups, trucks and others) were sabotaged on the spot.
6th April – Communique
The eviction of ZAD from the hills is not the end of a struggle but its beginning. In the face of the usual collusion between traditional political forces and big capital, other means of resistance must be used. LafargeHolcim is destroying the hill of Mormont and taking part in the destruction of nature on an international level. This group, which generates a turnover of more than 27 billion Swiss francs, will stop at nothing in order to accumulate profits. They even collaborate with the Islamic State in Syria to continue their activity.
