Bordeaux (Gironde) France: fire at TGV construction site

Bordeaux Sud: AFSB (high-speed line) construction workers set fire to electrical connections with a cigarette!
La Grappe, May 12, 2025 via: sansnom

They’d been warned it was serious to smoke near an area as flammable as the Bordeaux-Toulouse high-speed line construction site. But they wouldn’t listen.

It’s true that since the A69 project was halted by Toulouse’s administrative court, there’s plenty to be nervous about. There’s a whiff of unemployment about the LGV… And it can’t be easy to be involved in a project that received over 90% negative opinions during the public inquiry. You can’t feel at your best! It’s like feeling like you’ve betrayed your own and are fattening up the very people who exploit workers more and more. But don’t complain when there’s no money left for public services. As JP Farandou of the SNCF so aptly put it: “the high-speed train is not a public service”… And yet, it’s our tax money that’s going to pay for this high-speed line. It’s beyond comprehension… In any case, this is the result of their recklessness:

“The law of resilience” and initial lessons from the blackout in Spain

April 28, 2025: Blackout in Spain and Portugal

Power failures, fires, sabotage: companies will have to plan for the worst
Les Echos, May 7, 2025

This week, the French National Assembly begins examining the resilience bill, which will require many “vital” economic sectors to better anticipate extreme risks. One week after the giant Spanish blackout, the vulnerability of businesses is back on the agenda.

Transport at a standstill, digital payments and telecommunications down, food inventories going bad, drinking water cut off in some towns. The Spanish blackout a week ago showed just how vulnerable businesses can be.

The catastrophe didn’t last long enough to turn into a tragedy, but the wake-up call was severe. “The Spanish crisis is a timely reminder to companies of the extent to which risks are multiplying beyond cyberattacks”, points out Philippe Latombe, Modem deputy for the 1st constituency of Vendée. This Wednesday, the special commission he chairs will tackle the bill on the resilience of critical infrastructures and the reinforcement of cybersecurity.

Nord-Toulouse: destroy the power cables of the future Bordeaux/Toulouse high-speed line (France)

Communiqué from the Group of Enraged Irreverent Cormorants 

For several months now, we, the Cormorants of Saint-Jory, have been welcoming zadists to our little forest to defend our meagre patch of nature, one of the few still left here, squeezed between shopping centers, industrial zones and expressways. We’re surviving as best we can, and last year we learned that this habitat would be destroyed to make way for a high-speed rail link that will save a few minutes for a handful of human beings. Apparently, for them, this represents progress.

For the fourth time, on Monday April 7, we saw men arrive in our habitat, all dressed in ocean blue, accompanied by iron monsters who had come to destroy the cabins of our ZAD protectors, lay waste to the soil that feeds us and uproot the young trees that sheltered us. We know this is just a taste of what awaits us here.

SAINT-CHAMOND (LOIRE) France : « (A)NTI-TESLA CAMPAIGN: BORNE TO BURN »

Attacks against Tesla cars : at Saint-Chamond,
des bornes calcinées

Le Progrès, 30 March 2025

 In the car park of the Leclerc centre in Saint-Chamond, situated on the ZAC of the Varizelle, claims are made by floor-marking: « Anti-Tesla campaign, Borne to Burn ». The dozen Superchargers of the factory of Elon Musk were vandalised during the night of Wednesday 26 March to Thursday 27 March at around 4am.

Placed somewhere away from the large surface, under a sun roof, they were subjected to willful damage by fire. Two Superchargers were totally destroyed and the ten others turned out to be unusable having been struck by the flames. This nocturnal destruction – « manifestly targeted action » – is object of a police investigation to establish the technical and scientific findings and relies on video surveillance in the attempt to identify the author(s).

A first in Europe which Saint-Chamond would happily have done without

Right next to some Superchargers of an American company are some transformers aimed at supplying electricity and six other electric charging points of the Ionity mark that had not been vandalised. « This reprehensible act cannot be justified by the crystalisation of the behaviour of the Tesla CEO. These arsons are considered crimes and their authors will have to answer for these misdeeds », adds a police source.

Ambérieu-en-Bugey and surrounding area (Ain), France : Night paint action

 Rebellyon / Sunday 4 May 2025

 Night paint action near the Bugey nuclear station.
Stop the relaunch, stop the new EPR.
No nuclear here or anywhere else!

This week of April 2025 we expressed our opposition to the construction of 2 additional reactors at the nuclear power plant of Bugey on walls and bridges of the Ambérieu-en-Bugey region.

Albig (Germany): sabotaging power before the Easter meal

Network operator EWR received an alarm message at exactly 3:59 a.m. on Easter Saturday night (April 20). The legs of a 20,000-volt high-voltage pylon in Albig (Rhineland-Palatinate) had been deliberately sawed off before it crashed into the local vineyards. The power failure affected the villages of Bermersheim, parts of Ensheim, Armsheim, Flonheim, Bornheim, Lonsheim and a wind farm in the Wörrstadt district.

Somme: beautiful like a wind turbine in flames (France)

Fire: a wind turbine catches fire in the middle of the night in the Somme

Flames in the sky, dozens of meters high: it’s a rare and somewhat impressive sight. Around 11pm on Monday May 5, a wind turbine caught fire at Lafresguimont-Saint-Martin in the Somme region. The fire required the intervention of 27 firefighters, but not to extinguish the blaze, as well as the gendarmerie and Enedis teams. The latter cut off the power supply “to eliminate any risk”, as explained by the SDIS de la Somme.

“On this type of fire, we just set up a safety perimeter to prevent debris from injuring anyone, but we don’t go up, because we can’t access it”, explains the SDIS de la Somme. This is advice from the Ministry of the Interior.

Switzerland/Germany : Sabotaging capitalist normality – Attack on the railway infrastructure (Border zone between Switzerland and Germany)

Sabotaging capitalist normality – Attack on the rail infrastructure

During the night of 9th April, we set fire to railway signal and electric cables with a number of incendiary devices in various places near Basel.

The cops and the media have kept quiet about our action up until now.

Situated on the borders between three countries with maritime links going as far as the North sea, a highly developed rail and motorway network as well as an airport, the town of Basel is a central logistic node for the flux of goods that keep capitalist normality functioning. Given that we have a very low opinion of this state of affairs, we attacked its infrastructure to put a stop to it, at least for a moment.

Our attack was specifically aimed at the transboundary rail transport of goods and people and the rail link to the port of Kleinhüningen. One of the most important north-south links in Europe passes by Basel. The line between Rotterdam and Genoa belongs to the program Trans-European Transport Network and is constantly under expansion. The three Rhine ports of Basel carry out 10% of Switzerland’s foreign trade. About a third of its imports of petroleum products is loaded on to trains and lorries here. One container in four going to Switzerland passes through the ports of Basel. Loaded with merchandise made starting from raw materials plundered from all over the world or construction material with which more and more motorways, banks and jails are being built, the ground is sealed and everything living is buried under a thick layer of concrete.

Munich (Germany): the beautiful fires of April

Map of the series of “unsolved” incendiary attacks in the city of Munich from 2019 to 2025, published by the local press (Sueddeutsche Zeitung, April 22, 2025)

The wave of repression (searches, summonses and arrests) against the anarchist milieu in Munich at the end of February has not succeeded in putting an end to sabotage against the city’s critical infrastructure, as demonstrated, for example, by the two incendiary attacks carried out in the course of last April.

On Tuesday night, April 9, at around 3:20 a.m., the emergency control center of Deutsche Bahn alerted the police to a cable fire in a manhole in Obermenzing, a district to the northwest of Munich. The arson attack caused extensive damage to the cable systems running alongside the tracks, with 8 of them going up in smoke: three copper cables, three fiber-optic cables and two cables used for train signalling. Rail traffic was severely disrupted throughout southern Germany, and the Nuremberg (Bavaria)-Erfurt (Thuringia) high-speed line in particular had to be closed, as the damage caused all signals in this area to turn red. Deutsche Bahn also had to cancel around 96 trains and divert 16 others.

Val d’Oise, France : new incendiary attack against NGE in support of Louna

Indymedia Lille, February 10, 2025

New incendiary attack against NGE in support of Louna in Val d’Oise. The GIEC announces the resumption of demolition work on the Roissy-Picardie link.

Last weekend, anarchist lightning struck a second time at the same site, where NGE and Egis are building the Roissy-Picardie rail link.

Armed with rage at the news of the extension of Louna’s pre-trial detention (accused of having set fire to an NGE machine), we wanted to add our own contribution. So, on a quiet night, two machines were attacked. At least one of them ended up completely engulfed in flames.

This site had already been targeted at the end of January by anarchists in support of the zadists against the A69 and the Bordeaux-Toulouse high-speed train line. The communiqué claiming responsibility for the action prompted us to take a look, and add a little smoke. As a reminder.

Caen, France : « Redwashing » on the ASNR

This week, I was strolling around Caen. Raising my head from my smartphone because of a pavement, I saw on the premises of the Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire et de Radioprotection [Nuclear and radioprotection safety authority] and (ASNR, born from the recent fusion between the ASN and IRSN) splotches of red paint at the top of the building facade, stenciled skulls and « Down with nuclear » sprayed on the entrance.

A change from greenwashing! LOL.

Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (Savoie), France : Retour de balade

The mountain has neither mouth nor arms to defend itself.
In early spring 2025 at Saint Jean de Maurienne, heavy damage was done to a conveyor transporting the entrails torn from the mountain, as well as construction machinery to put it out of action. The damage was accompanied with the messages « Get lost TELT » and «Useless Project ».

We are opposed to the new Lyon Turin TGV line and claim this damage the reason for which is obvious: to slow down the construction sites, discourage contractors and encourage opposition. Continue reading Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (Savoie), France : Retour de balade

Bristol, UK: CCTV cameras and solar panels destroyed at GRC Security protected site

28th April 2025

We chose asoft target, a warm up to bigger things. Easy like throwing a dart into a grapefruit!

Around Bristol G.R.C .Security (now linked to Cava Security) have been pissing off travellers for quite a few years, carrying out common law evictions, using their bulk weight violence, the law and threats of fire. So one place they guard and partol is the old mounted police and dog section, now owned by the Caravan Club, which is situated on Clanage Rd., Bower, Ashton at the foot of the Clifton suspension bridge. It was really easy to scale the perimeter fence with identity concealed, then finding a long plank of wood to batter the CCTV cameras and solar panels.

Also a little dickie bird whispered on the ‘grapefruit’ vine that at the Brandon Hill ‘old’ cop shop eviction one of Cava Security’s vehicles lost some air from their tyres. Keep your eyes open for those dart boards!

Long Live Vandalism!

Taking responsibility for freeing a horse by ALF – Anarchist Anti-Speciesist Direct Action Cell (City of Kabalas ,Greece)

On April 22nd, we freed a horse that was chained in a field in Nikisiani, Kavala. We led the horse away from the place where it was confined and left it on the mountain, hoping that it would gallop independently towards freedom.

While traveling through the countryside, we saw something we already knew. That many animals live confined behind barbed wire, in cages or tied up in the yards of houses and fields. From sheep, goats, cows, chickens, dogs, horses, donkeys, and even deer.
