Sabotage of high-voltage power line
“The base has been sawn off”: an electricity pylon collapses in the Loiret region
France3, April 2, 2025
Just imagine the violence of the impact. A pylon, weighing several dozen tons, crashing to the ground. A very rare incident, but it happened on Tuesday April 1 at around 6 p.m., in the commune of Malesherbois, near Pithiviers.

Seventeen Teslas went up in flames at the only Tesla dealership in Rome on Sunday night, Monday March 31, at around 4.30 am.
In the Torrenova district, a mix of residential and industrial buildings, the Teslas caught fire in several places, including in the dealer’s yard on via Serracapriola, and a few metres further on under the recharging shelters.
Juan Sorroche: Open letter re the invitation to participate in the Anarchist Publishing and Propaganda Fair in Rome as anarchist prisoner. To those who organised it, those who are going to it, and all the comrades, anarchists and not, who would like to read my considerations
Hola comrades everyone,
I received the books with the Fair material at the beginning of March and read them with great interest, particularly concerning the Publishing and Propaganda Fair due to be held in Rome on 4-5-6 April 2025. I thank you for the invitation to the prisoner comrades to participate and keep up the discussions between outside and inside and not break the link of solidarity with those of us who find ourselves locked up. And I thank you for the sign of solidarity
But I feel obliged to answer, concentrating in this letter and in your organized space exclusively on the net positions you have decided to take. The discourse, yes, is very divisive, so I think it’s very important and fundamental that there be collective perspectives and the broadest possible continuity in this respect, also with us, prisoners and not only. With compromises among comrades. For me personally compromise is not negative and not always enemy in absolute, on the contrary. I am for clear compromises between all comrades, male and female. Concerning the net position you have decided to take. As far as I am concerned these are a priori decisions, with automatic mechanisms and methods, decided elsewhere. It is therefore deciding exclusively whether to adhere and then perhaps discuss questions that have clearly already been decided.
Text of the imprisoned anarchist Kostantinos K.
“To govern you is to watch you. To inspect you, to spy on you, to direct you, to encase you in laws, to regulate you, to record you…To control you, to measure you, to weigh you, to censor you, to order you… It means to tax you, to drink your blood… To terrorize you, to beat you, to disarm you, to strangle you, to imprison you, to try you, to condemn you, to deport you…
This is government, this is its justice, this is its morality.”
-Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
As long as we experience modern totalitarianism, as long as the blades of domination cripple us, solidarity will heal our wounds like medicine. Even if they bury us, like seeds we will sprout, here and there, irregularly. In the most barren soils. We will bloom at unspecified times where they least expect it. Contaminating the fields of modern states.
On 12/11/24, I was sentenced to 6 months of pretrial detention. From the first days in prison, I submitted a request for release, which was rejected 40 days later. I submitted a second request and after waiting two months, I received a negative response, while at almost the same time, the case was scheduled for trial on May 2. This, in my opinion, is a ploy, as they rushed to set the court date without me having time to make a third request. Because in this case, for bureaucratic reasons, the procedures regarding the file would cease and therefore the result would be that I would be released due to the end of the term. However, I am quoting this as a note. I believe it is more important to mention what these responses of the judicial councils were regarding my requests. These are 30 pages of unfounded allegations and successive leaps of logic. In them, a ridiculous story unfolds where, given my guilt, they argue that the methodology and characteristics of this action demonstrate a person capable of committing more similar crimes, taking into account my particular personality, which they refer to again and again.
RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM FOR THE BOMB ATTACK ON THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR AND HELLENIC TRAIN
via: darknights.
“Death on the scaffolding, death on the trains, capitalism is fed with blood”
Slogan born in the huge demonstrations of March 2023 for the state capitalist crime in Tempi.
On 26 January 2025 and 28 February 2025 respectively, hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated against the government of murderous anti-worker restructuring and Hellenic Train, a subsidiary of the Italian monopoly Ferrovie Dello Stato, which bears the main responsibility for the murder of 57 fellow human beings in Tempi on 28 February 2023.
The demonstrations and strikes are a contribution to the formation of our collective defence as a Class and at the same time, since they took place in a country that played an active role in the US-Zionist genocidal war in Palestine, a practical act of solidarity with the heroic Palestinian people, who, with gun in hand, are showing the way for the liberation of the peoples of the whole world.
The last normal Touchpaper opening will be Tuesday 22nd April. After this we will not have a permanent place for the library or discussions (for the foreseeable future).

For anyone interested in circulating, reading and discussing anarchist texts and ideas, please join our mailing list by emailing touchpaper@riseup.net

On the night of May 4 to May 5, 2024, an excavator was set on fire at the construction site of a highway project.[1] On October 12, 2024, Louna was arrested and accused of setting the excavator on fire. Several other people were arrested and released soon after.
CCTV footage from the arson site showed two people setting fire to the excavator, and one of them burning themselves accidentally. In the hours following the arson, Louna was brought by car to a nearby hospital, where she was admitted for burns allegedly compatible with those visibly suffered by the person who burned themselves in the footage.
After her arrest, Louna was detained in isolation for four months — she was in isolation because she was in a men’s prison despite being a (trans) woman.[2] After her arrest, she claimed responsibility for the degradations against the excavator. She is currently under judicial supervision pending trial.
On February 15, anarchist comrade Salvatore Vespertino (Ghespe), who had been a fugitive for the last 2 years or so, was arrested in Madrid. According to the regime, his arrest was the result of cooperation between the authorities of various countries, including Greece.
The comrade was transferred to Italy on March 4th, initially to the Rebibbia prison in Rome and is currently imprisoned in Spoleto prison of Spoleto.In the early days of his detention in Spain, Ghespe was subjected to pressure and harassment by guards. At Rebibbia, the correspondence wasn’t delivered to him; visits and phone calls were not allowed until shortly before his transfer to the prison of Spoleto.
He was sentenced to 8 years in prison on charges of possession, manufacture and transport of an explosive device, grievous bodily harm and damage in the context of the Panico operation in 2017 in Florence. More specifically, he is accused of an improvised explosive device that was placed outside a fascist bookstore in Florence on New Year’s Day 2017.The device exploded in the hands of a pyrotechnics cop who did not even follow safety protocols, resulting in the loss of an arm and an eye.

It is unclear what the struggle for Palestinian liberation will look like in the coming days. At the time of this writing a ceasefire has just been reached between Hamas and the Zionist entity, at the same time the Zionist entity continues to devastate Gaza and the West Bank.
Last year a specific struggle against a local technology company connected the dots between Palestinian liberation, local gentrification, education, militarism, and borders. The company in question, Ghost Robotics, has come under fire for creating robot dogs used by the Israeli Defense Forces.
WE GREW WHERE WE WERE NOT SOWN IN SCORCHED EARTH
On Thursday 07/11/24, 17-year-old comrade K. K. is arrested in Messolongghi Town, accused of setting fire to a police investigation van, which occurred on 11/10/24, almost a month before his arrest. The charges he faces include arson, explosion, manufacturing and possession of explosives and damage to other people’s property. As part of a demonstration of state power, the comrade is transported with excessive police forces to the courts for his statement, is remanded in custody and on 13/11 is transferred to the juvenile prison of Kassavetias. Another flimsy indictment based on incomplete video footage recording a moving figure on the streets of the city, another vengeful prosecution by the mafia of the Hellenic Police and the judicial authorities in the wake of the state repression against those who resist.
“The social war is here and it is widening day by day, it is our duty to open wide comradely relations and the values of self-organization. Hotbeds of struggle everywhere from Messolonghi Town to Chile, from theory to practice and back again. Nothing is lost, nothing is over, and we continue to march against the state, capital, fascism, patriarchy, relations of exploitation until our last breath… for a free world.”

In the early hours of March 28, we placed six incendiary devices inside the ΕΥΔΑΠ (Hellenic Water Company) construction site in the Cholargos area, which engulfed state vehicles in flames. We are actively questioning the power of the state and the structure of its sovereignty, trying to weaken it by striking. We remind you that resistance action against the state and capital does not have one front, but many.
In order to achieve our promoted goals, it is necessary to overcome the limits of bourgeois legitimacy.
From the multiple demonstrations, to the extensive clashes with stones and Molotov cocktails in the central Syntagma Square, to the arson of state machinery, we are promoting the revolution everywhere and always.

The whole game of the German state on the comrades Daniela Klette, Ernst Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg is an operation of psychological warfare, what they call in their terminology psy ops. In addition to the always fruitless attempt of the counter-insurgency to isolate revolutionary struggle, in this hunt it wants to torture the living history, to bury it under the concrete, in order to spread the idea that all resistance is eventually exterminated, to instill terror in the new revolutionary generations. The act of evading from the counter-insurgency’s dragnet is an important resistance: It removes from the state the opportunity to hold the ritual of the “final act”. For this reason, its vengeance against defiant history, now manifested on the body and person of comrade Daniela, is rampant.
The fugitives prove that the passage to free life cannot be blocked. Despite the capitulation of the revolutionary organization, the three comrades have lived for decades in the struggle for the self-organization of proletarian life against the chains of class discipline and bourgeois civilization that kills for money. Now it is in the hands of all of us to pass on the history of the comrades to the current resistances. The hearts that refuse to live enslaved do not leave the final act to any master. And because every “final” word of the state, political, judicial, economic, scientific, determines the crushing of the common body, we will do everything to end Daniela Klette’s captivity.

“Injustice is not anonymous, it has a name and an address”

In the early morning hours of June 27th [2024] we attacked the house and the police guard of the President of the Supreme Court, Ioanna Klapa, in the Papagos area. That summer evening found the cop who happened to be on duty instead of carelessly gazing at Instagram photos or playing slots (in earlier watches this seemed to be how those on duty spent their time) screaming from the Molotov cocktails that burned him and then being rushed to the emergency room by his colleagues, badly injured. And Klapa, instead of sleeping, fearfully putting out the fire in the entrance and garden of her house.
But why did we choose to attack Klapa while her house was being guarded?
