Everywhere : 3rd night of riotous revolt, looting and fires à gogo [Re-MàJ] (France)


via:sansnom.Translated by Act for freedom now!

[Following the police murder of Nahel in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) on Tuesday morning, a first (in english) then a second night of riots (in english) took place all over the country,  destructive riots which we have published large illustrated reviews of here. And finally, a third night from Thursday 29 to Friday 30 June— despite the announced deployment of 40,000 police officers, four times more than the day before, despite the arrival of the RAID (in Toulouse, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Strasbourg), of the BRI (Nanterre) and the GIGN (in Evry, Savigny le Temple, Nantes, Toulouse, Tours and Avignon) in anti-riot mode, in spite of the night curfews, in spite of the cessation of urban surface transport in the Ile-de-France and elsewhere from 9pm, in spite of the circling of gendarmerie helicopters and police drones, and despite the prefectorial prohibitions of carrying and transporting pyrotechnics as fuel.

What marked this third night of riots, in addition to clashes with the police across the country, now affecting more than a hundred cities (including small ones), has not only been a fine constancy in burning public transport, but also in multiplying looting of all kinds (sometimes during actual raids in the city centre, but also in Darty, Decathlon or shopping centres), with several destructions of businesses and temples of merchandise. And with a single common language, which goes without any claim or dialogue with power or its mediators: Fire!
Note that today, June 30, the first looting of the day has already begun, such as at the Apple Store and Lacoste in the centre of Strasbourg, the Spar supermarket in Reims or the major shopping centres of Rosny 2 and Créteil Soleil in the Paris region… ]

A few figures

https://sansnom.noblogs.org/files/2023/06/123.jpg
The Ministry of the Interior recorded that during the night from 29 to 30 June 79 cop lairs are attacked (39 national police premises, 24 of the municipal police and 16 of the gendarmerie), and 119 public buildings are targeted, including 34 town halls and 28 schools. In addition, 917 people were arrested last night all over France, including 408 in Paris, in Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne (and 170 in police custody). A total of 249 policemen and gendarmes were injured last night.


Today, June 30, Elisabeth Borne declared from the police station of Evry-Courcouronnes (Essonne) that «all hypotheses», including the establishment of the state of emergency, are envisaged by the executive for «the return of republican order», For its part, the Elysée palace stressed that Emmanuel Macron was ready to adopt the “no taboo” policing system… For a start, the gendarmerie’s 18 new Centaur tanks will be mobilized tonight, and all surface transit across the country has been shut down by the ministry of the interior.

The War In Front Of Us

Retrieved and put on paper by some unafilliated admirers.

PDF is here

This is an afro-pessimist militant’s challenge to the Stop Cop City movement.

There is a tension stewing right now, not simply between differing tactics but with the outright acceptance of the position we are currently in, that of a social war.

The third day-long descent on the Atlanta City Council has again hammered home that legalistic attacks and appeals to the political machine are going to keep failing. Despite that being so overwhelmingly evident, the more progressive-inclined elements of the struggle continue to insist upon a peaceful endurance, one that refuses escalation and actual conflict for their safe, faux-radical abolitionism. We have been locked in this social war since the rebellion and the terrain needs to be read as such.

Dear Brent Scarborough,
I Bet You Thought You Were Safe With All The New Security Measures You Put In At Your Headquarters Site! We Saw The Empty Lot Where You Used To Store Machines… And The Big One Right Next Door.
We Saw The Bright Lights, Tall Fence, And Trees Clear Cut Twenty Feet From Every Edge Of The Lot. It Was A Quick Walk From The On Ramp Of Exit 41. A Row Of Trucks Obscured Our Car So We Only Had To Carry Our Supplies About Half A Mile.
You Ought To Pay Your Security Guard More… He Was Asleep On The Job! We Climbed Over The Barbed Wire Fence With A Ladder And A Carpet Square & Taking Note Of The Machines Fifty Feet From The Fence And Cameras On Every Pole. Sneaking Between Equipment And Around The Useless Security Truck, We Finally Reached A Row Of Many Large Machines. Each Of Us Carried A Gallon Of Muriatic Acid, A Substance You Should Know About If You Don’t Already. We Poured The Corrosive Acid Into The Oil Tanks Of Three Machines. Have You Found Which Ones Yet?

France – Everywhere : 2nd night of riotous rage following the police assassination of Nahel 29/06/2023

via: sansnom Translated by Act for freedom now!

here:First night of riot ,after police assassination of Nahel (Hauts-de-Seine) on 27th of June.2023

———————————————————————————

[This second night of riot in a row after that of yesterday following the police assassination of Nahel (Hauts-de-Seine) on 27th June, expanded to many more cities, multiplying also the number and type of targets.. Beyond clashes with police and burnt cars, below is a non-exhaustive review of burned buildings, looted or attacked across the country, from cop stations to town halls, from social centres to media libraries, from supermarkets to metro stations and trams, not forgetting the entrance of the prison of Fresnes or the court of Asnières-sur-Seine…]

Some numbers
2377 fires were recorded on the public road during the night of 28 to 29 June, according to a police source cited by Le Parisien. Of these, 609 vehicles and 114 buildings were affected. 27 attacks on national police premises were also reported (damong which 7 by fire), 4 gendarmerie barracks, 14 municipal police stations (including 10 burnt). At least eight town halls burned or damaged, 6 schools and six public buildings. 133 members of the police forces were injured, including 123 policemen and 10 gendarmes.

For pleasure…

* Airparif writes this Thursday that « significant levels of particulate matter (PM10 + PM2.5) were observed in the air tonight and this morning » in Île-de-France, and that this « increase in the region is mainly related to emissions related to riots». This kind of pollution can be due to the many fires that took place at night.

Public transport in Ile-de-France

Two trams were burned in the Hauts-de-Seine. One of line T6 to Clamart, at the Georges Pompidou stop. « The catenaries burned, the tram is embedded in the tracks. We’re going to disengage the train this afternoon (Thursday) but the work will take weeks», explained a manager. The other train that was set on fire was the T10 tram, which had just been inaugurated last Saturday at Châtenay-Malabry.

Italy: Anarchists Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino have been sentenced to 23 years and 17 years and 9 months

Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino have been sentenced to 23 years and 17 years and 9 months

Pending a more detailed text about the hearing, we are transmiting that on June 26 the Court of Appeal of Turin established the length of the convictions against the anarchists Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito in the Scripta Manent trial, sentencing them to 17 years and 9 months and 23 years respectively. The possibility of a life sentence requested by the prosecutor of Turin during the appeal hearing of 5th December 2022 and subsequently in the latter of 19th and 26th June has therefore definitively been excluded for Alfredo, (while for Anna a conviction of 27 years and one month had been requested).

Paillaco (Chile): trucks for the future wind farm burned to the ground.

Paillaco : trucks for the future wind farm burned to the ground


At dusk on Friday June 16, 2023, in the Chilean commune of Paillaco (Los Ríos region), a small hooded and armed group broke into the construction site of a wind farm. After neutralizing the guards, they set fire to the 14 cement-trucks and a front-end loader on site.

The future Caman wind farm, where the multinational Mainstream Renewable Power (with Norwegian, Japanese and Irish capital) intends to build no less than 44 industrial wind turbines with a capacity of 150 Megawatts in Mapuche territory, had already suffered an incendiary attack on January 16, when the first truck went up in smoke. In August 2022, in the municipality of Angol (La Araucanía region), another construction site for an industrial wind farm also saw its machinery go up in smoke. And in July 2022, in the municipality of Arauco (Bío Bío region), the two technical maintenance buildings of a wind farm that is operational went up in flames.

Words for comrade Punki Mauri by anonymous

Words for comrade Punki Mauri by anonymous

informativoanarquista

Anarchist history is not a sequence of simple and isolated acts, although many would like it to be; to speak of the adventurers, the crazy poets of history, the unwavering ones with heroic personalities, to fill the chronology of some novelistic book of those who hide behind academic titles or some cushy and comfortable desk. But our history could not be further from that – a multitude of sparks, of attempts without pretension or arrogance, voluntary impulses of determined individualities that await neither the conditions nor the moment, that unite freely or act alone always with the same ungovernable pulse.

Fourteen years have passed since that autumn charged with chaos, when one of our own left us in a May full of anarchic spirit. Punki Mauri some called him, Mauricio Morales Duarte was his name in the official records. That night changed the course of the winds for his immediate sfullurroundings, but it was also a call for the anarchic multiverse around the world.

Balancing a black memory with an active spirituality, without falling into those pseudo shamanic visions that are sold today as holy cards of new age saints, is a challenge from the deepest iconoclastic feeling.

From the prison of Larissa, Greece: Political statement of the captured member of Anarchist Action Thanos Hatzianggelou on the murders of migrants of Pylos.

Political statement of the captured member of Anarchist Action Thanos Hatzianggelou on the murders of migrants of Pylos.

“…the splendour of patriotism, coffins covered with flags”.

In a country where days of national mourning are like weekends, every national tear for the dead of the social and class war is also a sob of hypocrisy. At the same time as the local alignment with the international anti-immigration policy of terror and death drowns more than 300 people on the Greek sea border, the Greek national team holds a minute’s silence and the political staff conducts memorials for the wronged. What hypocrisy! That the nation should mourn those it murders in order to keep the Greek ideal untainted and ironclad.

Over 300 more names on the long list of those put to death, whose crime was to seek a safer life. 300 more names of those killed by ‘drownings’ at sea borders, vehicle diversions from highway chases and cold-blooded murders at borders and metropolises by the official para-state and its fascist groups. And for all these deaths, the political staff has more militarisation to promise: extension of the Evros fence, reinforcement of the border guard, new cooperation agreements with Frontex, NATO contributions and camps. Because states respond to death with death. Because the murders of migrants are not the problem but the numerical result of the acts themselves.

Ile-de-France, France: Riot rage spreads following police assassination of Nahel

Riot rage spreads following police assassination of Nahel

Scenes of riots, mortars and fires marked the night from Tuesday to Wednesday in the department of Hauts-de-Seine, but also more sporadically in other departments of Île-de-France after the death of Nahel, 17 years old. The teenager was killed on Tuesday morning 27th June in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) by a police shooting [at point-blank range in the chest], the latter justifying his act by a refusal to comply. The policeman responsible for the fatal shooting, aged 38 years, is being questioned by the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) as part of the investigation for intentional homicide opened by the Nanterre prosecutor’s office.
In addition to the 31 arrests during this first night of riots, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin speaks of « 24 police wounded » and of « about forty vehicles burnt ». Today Wednesday 28th June, 2,000 police and gendarmes will be deployed in Paris and its inner suburbs.

A Nanterre même, Urban violence has been concentrated in the neighbourhoods of Vieux pont where Nahel was from, but also Zilina, Berthelot, Pablo Picasso and Damades. The police were targeted by projectiles, fireworks mortars and sometimes Molotov cocktails. Approximately vehicles and garbage cans – often erected as barricades – were destroyed in the municipality. Fires were also lit along the rails of the RER A, between Nanterre and Rueil-Malmaison. Several administrative buildings (Public finances, community centre, two school groups) were also damaged by fires. « Various public and private buildings, among which some schools, have suffered significant and unacceptable degradation, sometimes irreparable », the mayor Patrick Jarry laments.
On the side of the authorities, 20 police were slightly injured, among which 18 CRS and two BAC officers of Gennevilliers. Ten police vehicles and a fire engine of the Paris fire brigade (BSPP) were also damaged.

Indonesia: Communique Claim Action by Unit Nemesis FAI-IRF for ATMs destroyed.

“Above all one thing must be clear, one is only part of the FAI-FRI in the moment of the action, then each one returns to their life as anarchist, nihilist, individualist, to their own projects and rebel or revolutionary perspectives with all their adjuncts of assemblies, coordinations, affinity nuclei, occupations, communes, struggles in the territory and so on and so forth.”[¹]
Alfredo Cospito

After hundreds of nights spent, after being in a sea of individual adventures, we returned to our basement to continue the urban guerrilla warfare by enabling all methods of action, even though our footsteps were previously heavy enough to make the consistency of ouraggressiveness towards social relations overlaid by civilized moral societies and hierarchies. By a civilized moral society and the odious hierarchy and authority of the rulers and the bourgeoisie of the financiers! We will still attack as we are able to do at any time and anywhere! We are a threat to authoritarians and bourgeois financiers who love the monster of democracy for its profit!

FR/EN/DE/SP/GR : A Message from S on June 17/ 23 was seriously injured, at the demonstration against the Sainte-Soline mega-basin on March 25, 2023 (France)

Communiqué du S

Salut tout le monde,

Je m’appelle Serge et j’ai été gravement blessé, comme beaucoup d’autres, à la manifestation contre la mégabassine de Sainte Soline du 25 mars 2023. J’ai été atteint à la tête par une grenade, probablement tirée en tendu par un gendarme équipé d’un lanceur de grenade cougar. J’ai subi un grave traumatisme crânien qui m’a mis en situation d’urgence absolue, situation aggravée par le blocage de ma prise en charge par les secours durant la manifestation. Après un mois de coma artificiel et six semaines en réanimation, j’ai été transféré dans un service de neurochirurgie, puis en centre de rééducation. A l’heure actuelle, je ressens d’énormes progrès dans ma faculté à bouger, manger et tout simplement échanger et réfléchir. Le chemin va être extrêmement long mais je suis déterminé à tout donner, à me battre pour récupérer ce qui me constituait, tant physiquement que mentalement. Je le fais évidemment pour moi, mais aussi parce que je pense que refuser d’abdiquer, refuser d’être écrasé par la machine répressive est une nécessité politique, à l’heure où les Etats font le pari de la terreur et de notre passivité.

Je tiens d’abord à remercier celles et ceux qui, dans ce champ de mines, m’ont porté, tenu la main, protégé, promulgué les premiers soins (ralentissement de l’hémorragie, massage cardiaque, intubation etc.) et m’ont tout simplement permis de rester en vie. Je tiens également à remercier les soignants qui, à chaque stade, ont pris soin de moi et m’aident encore aujourd’hui à reconquérir mon corps et ma tête. Je ne peux que vous faire part du bien fou que j’ai ressenti à ma sortie du coma devant la solidarité massive qui s’est exprimée : assemblées, textes, tags, dons, musiques, actions et messages divers de camarades de par le monde. L’écho de vos voix et des rugissements de la rue nous a aidé, mes proches et moi, à ne rien lâcher. Pour tout cela, je vous dis à toutes et tous un grand merci. Vous avez été énormes.
