The most beautiful days are when it rains…stones on the streets (Athens,Greece)

FR:

THE BEST DAYS ARE WHEN IT RAINS…

The rallies of February 28th have left a resounding impression behind them. Everyone (government, think tanks, parties, media) sees the crowd gathered in terms of statistics and votes, “national mourning”, “indignation” and “expectation of a better state”. It is a convenient reading: it is wise to homogenize the widespread social dissatisfaction and anger – not only for the Tempi – under pandemic “national needs” because it is dangerous. To fit it into molds of loyalty and “peaceful protest” . To give “presence” to the Constitution – as if it were not a strike – but a social media event. To make the Tempi case a riddle to be solved by “experts” and “uneducated judges”. The people who took to the streets had somehow to conform to a savoir vivre defined by some abstract “common mourning”, to define themselves permanent victims (a favorite role of the left) who are only seeking a little state care and affection and not to express their anger at the oppression they receive on many fronts. To be indignant about the “cover-up” while forgetting something basic, that there is a permanent and concrete “cover-up”: in the world of the state, the bosses and the patriarchy, “accidents” happen to disposable lives. So it’s not just trains, but all of everyday life: from accidents in the workplace (45 dead already in 2025), the “deflected” police bullets on the bodies of “undesirables”, to the murders of immigrants at the borders…

Some updates on Anarchist comrade Salvatore Vespertino Ghespe’s situation en/it (Italy)

Some updates on Ghespe’s situation

After about two years, on the night of February 14-15, 2025, a police arrest ended Ghespe’s status as a fugitive. From the moment of his arrest, the Spanish state guards were immediately notable for their characteristic cowardice. The beatings, threats, and what even the comrade recognized as psychological and physical torture led him to make an extreme act in order to be able to escape from a situation of absolute danger to his safety. In order to leave the Soto del Real prison in Madrid, he cut the veins of his arms and was transferred to the psychiatric hospital. As a matter of procedure, endangering one’s life leads consequently to a TSO (psychiatric compulsory treatment), so the comrade was inoculated with sedatives and antipsychotics. He is very concerned to point out that the act was not done with suicidal intentions, nor did such thoughts ever cross his mind. The amount of blood he lost was such that he had to receive transfusions.

During his stay in the psychiatric ward, he continued to suffer torture, such as pressure on open wounds by hospital staff. After being discharged from the hospital, on March 4 he was extradited to Italy, specifically to the Rebibbia prison in Rome, his first stop after his flight from Madrid.

Trentino, Italy: Anarchist Massimo Passamani imprisoned in “semi-freedom”

Trentino,  Massimo imprisoned in “semi-freedom”

From yesterday, Wednesday 26th March, our dear friend and comrade Massimo finds himself in the prison of Spini di Gardolo (Tn), in the so-called “semi-freedom” regime, for an accumulation of definitive sentences from 2 years and seven months (the main sentence, of little over 2 years, is related to clashes that took place in Rovereto on the occasion Salvini’s visit: one of the episodes for which Giulio also finds himself locked up). Given that his request for semi-freedom has been accepted, in about two weeks’ time he will be able to go out to work: which attenuates, but doesn’t extinguish, the rage of knowing him imprisoned.

Pisa, Carrara, Italy: Police raids in Pisa and Carrara related to the action against the court during the campaign in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (26th March 2025)

Pisa, Carrara, Police raids in Pisa and Carrara related to the action against the court during the campaign in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Two house searches took place at dawn on Wednesday, March 26th 2025, in the cities of Pisa and Carrara under articles 110, 56, 424 of the penal code, aggravated by article 270 bis 1, regarding the placing of an incendiary device at the court of Pisa [collocazione di un ordigno incendiario presso il tribunale di Pisa] found by the Italian State security forces in February of 2023. The latter was part of the large-scale mobilization in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito against 41 bis and life imprisonment without appeal..

The investigation, carried out by the Anti-Mafia and Antiterrorism District Directorate of Florence, are, like all the investigations against the anarchist movement, intended to threaten revolutionaries and the spirit of initiative which characterizes them.

The struggle continues.

FOR MORE ATTACKS AND HATE AGAINST EVERY STATE

In February 2025, the public prosecutor of Munich again carried out a repressive operation  against anarchists, this time in the form of raids and arrests. The Bavarian police state, embarrassed by anarchist publications and anonymous attacks, invents accusations and looks for suspicious individuals to blame. The anarchist agitation of recent years has developed a subversive reach that is difficult to assess but certainly is uncontrollable. Anarchist ideas spread on paper and put into practice can prove to be a dangerous mixture contributing to the spread of social revolt.

During these raids, the cops arrested our comrades, N. and M. who are currently still held in pre-trial detention. The reason: an ongoing case which suspects the comrades of having been part of an alleged editorial team, declared a criminal organisation, for the anarchist newspaper Zündlumpen. The invention of this accusation led to several raids in 2022, the confiscation of an entire print shop and the closure of the Munich anarchist library Frevel.

The Inquisition at work. Requested from 5 years 6 months to 7 years imprisonment for the accused in the Massa trial derived from the Operation Scripta Scelera ( Massa, Italy )

On Tuesday, April 1, one of the most relevant hearings in the trial involving four anarchists indicted in the operation Scripta Scelera for editing and distributing the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny” was held in Massa. Starting at 12:00 noon in Palma Square there were microphone speeches and a leafleting, and from 3:00 p.m. there was a presence in the courtroom by the solidarity comrades present.

During the hearing, Public Prosecutor Manotti of the Genoa District Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate delivered his indictment, and then set out the requests for conviction against the defendants in reference to both counts of the trial: incitement to commit crimes with the aggravating circumstance of the purpose of terrorism (as well as apology for terrorist crimes) and offense to the honor or prestige of the president of the republic. He did not, however, seek conviction on the aggravating circumstance of having committed the act through computer or telematic means.

Cops and robbers? A history of investigative techniques 2025

Imprisoned for publishing an anarchist newspaper

In what follows, we’re going to tell you about the miserable endeavor that kept the Munich State Protection busy for two years: how the hell they managed to steal the blood of anarchist N. for a DNA sample. The Bavarian cops spared no expense or effort to carry out this operation, and some of the methods they employed may well be of interest to you. At the end of the text, you’ll also find a list of other investigative measures used by the Munich police during this investigation.

Recently, on February 26, 2025, anarchist comrades N. and M. were arrested. The initial arrest warrant was issued with the charge of criminal conspiracy, for publishing (together with another person) the anarchist periodical Zündlumpen.

More details on these charges can be found here.

What is policing?

One could say that the police are nothing more than a permanent military occupying force on a particular territory, attempting to project its power across space (and time) by means of technological tools. Our dear detectives Obermaiers, Findeisens, Unglaubs, and Rinds understood this perfectly, participating in a reading group called “EG Schrift” [“Special Writing Investigation Group”], which was certainly informative for them. But nobody understands this better, to the point of having managed to fool entire squads of cops for years, than the famous Bavarian “folk heroes”. All of them thieves and poachers, like the Bavarian Hiasl or the brigand Kneißl, and not forgetting all the peasant deserters during the first revolutionary uprisings against the (Bavarian) authorities. However, it’s not just these famous figures from a long-forgotten era, but also countless present-day individuals who still manage to escape the clutches of the henchmen of the (renewed) Bavarian dynasty, exposing them more or less mercilessly to public ridicule.

Chile) Account of a New Day of the Youth Combatant (March 29). After 40 Years, the Streets Still Shout Memory and Total Liberation

April 2, 2025 / informativoanarquista

Translated by Act for freedom now!

Like every March 29, with greater or lesser intensity, the Day of the Youth Combatant is commemorated in different points of the territory dominated by the chilean state. This year the date fell on a Saturday, leading high school students from the Liceo de Aplicación, Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño, INBA, Liceo 1, Instituto Nacional and Liceo Eduardo de la Barra (Valparaíso), university students on the campuses of Juan Gómez Millas, Universidad de la Frontera (Temuco) and Universidad de Playa Ancha (Valparaíso), and comrades in general to start riots and confrontations with the police in high schools, universities and in the center of Santiago on Thursday the 27 and Friday the 28. Various gestures of agitation also accompanied these days.

On the night of Saturday the 29, the streets Cerro Navia, Estación Central, Quinta Normal, San Bernardo, Huechuraba, Peñalolén, among others, were lit up. Comrades confronted the police with molotovs, stones and homemade or industrial guns in a new commemoration of the Day of the Youth Combatant in combative memory of Eduardo and Rafael Vergara Toledo, Luisa Toledo, Mauricio Maigret, Claudia López, Mauricio Morales, Sebastián Oversluij, Luciano Pitronello, Belén Navarrete. They along with many other dead comrades still remain present through anarchist action, absolutely removed from any iconic or symbolic role or elements of admiration.

Athens,(Greece) : Update on developments regarding the health of comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z. (text update 3.4.25)

DEPRIVING PRISONERS OF MEDICAL CARE IS TORTURE

Hands off anarchist comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z.

On 31/10/24, following an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipi, the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation, while the anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, was severely injured, hospitalised and guarded in the ICU of the “Evangelismos” General Hospital. The following days, comrades Dimitra Z., Dimitris and Nikos R., as well as A.K., were remanded in custody.

From the very beginning, state violence was applied to comrade Marianna. With her transfer to Korydallos women’s prison just one day after the second operation she underwent, her hospitalisation was violently interrupted while she still had open wounds on her face, she could not walk or fully care for herself, was dizzy and in pain. The “Evangelismos” General Hospital discharged her as a patient in this condition, knowing full well the miserable environment of the prison to which she would be transferred, where there is not even any kind of hospital and therefore no possibility of providing her with extremely necessary medical care before she fully recovers.

Her torture in Korydallos prison continues to this day. Her serious health condition, as well as the risk of long-term complications, are the result of the deprivation of necessary medical post-operative care. From the very beginning they deprived her of the provision of pharmaceuticals and forced her to stay in cells full of cockroaches, in extremely poor sanitary conditions. While to this day – four months later – necessary and urgent diagnostic tests have not been initiated. To her request to be assessed by a doctor and immediately initiate a brain CT scan requested by an outside doctor who visited her a long time ago, the response of the prison neurologist was “if you don’t fall down with an epileptic seizure, we won’t take you to hospital.” A response that accurately reflects the condition of vindictiveness, punishment, and torture that the rulers impose on anyone who finds themselves captured in the cells of democracy.

Anarchist Comrade Francisco Solar Leaves Isolation After 5 Years in the Punishment Regime March 29, 2025

After spending almost 5 years in isolation, passing through different maximum security units and confronting the recent hardening of the prison regime that kept him locked in the cell without TV or radio for 21 hours per day, and with restricted visits, today we have news concerning his situation within the prison.

Through succesive hearings and technical council, the administration was left without excuses for keeping the comrade in said punishment regime, finding themselves obliged to transfer him.

Today the anarchist comrade manages to leave the circuit and labyrinth of isolation and maximum security units, being transferred to unit 33 inside La Gonzalina Prison, where other anarchist and subversive prisoners are kept.

Solidarity and complicity with anarchist comrade Francisco Solar!

Athens,(Greece): Under the concrete, something’s boiling – BUILDING SQUAD IN EXARXEIA by Rasprava occupation

After the end of the event “Revolutionary memory and the struggle perspective “ in Messolonggiou [pedestrian area of Exarxeia], a crowd of comrades descended on the corner of Koletti and Themistokleous streets to defend the liberation of the building in course.

The following is the self-presentation of the occupation:

The silence of the metropolis weighs on our backs like a stone. The streets are full of tired looks, bodies crawling out of habit, fear, submission. People move along prescribed paths without questioning, tempering their dreams. Everything is programmed to work exactly as they want: work, consumption, obedience. But, always, beneath the surface, something is boiling.

History is not written by the obedient. Some choose to bear the burden of disobedience. To crack the concrete of normality. To confront the invisible hand of power that suffocates every aspect of our lives. Refusing to submit is not a mere stance. It is a call to question, overthrow, take back what belongs to us.

Gießen (Germany): deportation vans go up in smoke

Deportation vans go up in smoke

   [During the night of Sunday/Monday March 17, three vans belonging to the administration responsible for deportations, which were parked in front of the Regional Coordination Center for the Refugee Payment Card, went up in smoke in Gießen (Hesse) at around 4am. The damage caused by this incendiary attack is estimated by the police at 300,000 euros (including the building’s facade and windows). The attack was claimed the very next day on de.indymedia.

The “payment card” in question relates to the payment of asylum-seekers’ allowances by this means, which were previously paid in cash. This special smart card was introduced throughout Germany in June 2024 to fully control the use of the allowance paid to asylum seekers, by limiting monthly cash withdrawals to 50 euros, or by not allowing transfers or electronic payments outside the territory].

Fire and flames for the payment card

On March 17, we attacked the payment card coordination center for the Hesse region with incendiary devices. Several vans and the building on Lilienthalstraße (Gießen) were damaged. It’s no coincidence that we’ve targeted this state institution. With its vehicles, the Gießen district council (Regierungspräsidium, RP) is involved in daily evictions from reception centers, which it coordinates across the whole of Hesse. For these reasons alone, it deserves to be attacked.
