Thessaloniki, Greece: Taking responsibility for set fire to a police officer’s vehicle for comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris
Responding to the call of our imprisoned comrades Mariana M. and Dimitra Z. for an October of remembrance and insurrectionary struggle, on the evening of October 28th we set fire to a police officer’s vehicle on Xenophontos Street in the Agios Dimitrios area, an action entirely dedicated to comrade anarchist armed revolutionary Kyriakos Xymitiris.
Every individual who commits themself to continuous direct action against the State and authority is not part of the struggle but is the struggle itself. The stubbornness and courage to face the “invincible”, the defiance of entrenched State and personal repression and the subsequent fear it causes, are vital characteristics of liberation from all kinds of imposition.

Responsibility claim about the attack on the residence of the IDF sergeant at Gyzi area in Athens by Solidarians to Palestinian resistance (Greece)
“If I fall, do not fall with me, but hold the flag that never falls
and make my blood a bridge for a generation to cross that will
be born from our ashes stronger. Be a thorn in their side,
a flood that knows no retreat, and do not rest until the
world recognizes that you are the rightful owners of this land, not
just numbers in the news.” – Yahya “Abu Ibrahim” Sinwar
On October 16, the day martyr Yahya Sinwar joined the
pantheon of heroes of global resistance, we chose to gather at the
doorstep of colonist soldier-murderer David Hadar, sergeant in the
IDF’s Golani Brigade, who lives in the Gyzi area, on Ragavi street. Continue reading Responsibility claim about the attack on the residence of the IDF sergeant at Gyzi area in Athens by Solidarians to Palestinian resistance (Greece)
Athens,Greece: Attack on the Kypseli Police Station – Claim of Responsibility and Video
Justice is resistance
On the afternoon of December 7, 2025, we attacked the Kypseli torture Police Station on Thira Street.
The AT(police station) is brazen, so “brave” against handcuffed people, so “courageous” in sweeping up immigrants in Amerikis Square, realistically assessed their situation and locked themselves in. It took them a full 5 minutes to come out…
17 years and one day after December, we struck at the heart of Athens, in a centre that has been turned into a fortress. 17 years that the violence, the torture, the murders have not stopped for a moment. 17 years later, the same murderers with different faces. Sampanis, Frangoulis, Zackie, Lambros Fountas, Kamran, Mangos..

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary barrage by ‘Incendiary Anarchist Nous’
The new global economic crisis is approaching
The new economic crash in the West is closer than they would have us believe. Western imperialist states are trying to redivide the earth and drain economically weak states of raw materials, labor, and anything else that can bring them profit. However, in countries that are not in the West, they must also contend with indigenous forces that either resist for their land, such as Palestine, or are ruled by theocratic regimes that they themselves had installed there to avoid the “communist threat.” The imperialist states of the East, Russia and China, are also entering the game, trying to emerge victorious from the coming crash. Intra-imperialist rivalries once again fall on the backs of the peoples of the earth with devastating results.
The Palestinian struggle
The Palestinians, with their struggle, like a modern Vietnam, show us the way and the necessity to fight wherever we are. Since October 2023, the Palestinians have been rebelling against the Zionist fascists, the American imperialists, and Western capital. All of them aim to rebuild the whole of Gaza and turn it into a tourist resort. The vultures (construction and real estate companies) have started selling off pieces of land in Palestine. The recent ceasefire agreement and the joke with Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize are not enough to stop what is happening in Palestine. What is happening is genocide, occupation, and the uprooting of an entire people, justified by the most ridiculous arguments.

Bicycle and Motorbikes demo Against Detention Centres
On Saturday 22 November the Assembly Against Detention Centres organised a demonstration moving through the city towards the migrant prison, Allodapon, Petrou Ralli, in solidarty with the migrant struggle against detention centres and imprisonment.
Around 70 people gathered at the starting point in Plateia Amerikis with motos and bicycles. There, as well as in Plateia Viktoria and Plateia Agios Panteleimonas, where the demonstration stopped for some time along the route, we distributed texts and threw trikakia, against the presence of cops in our squares and neighborhoods, against the racist police operations.

(Greece) Português : O que dá sentido à vida dá sentido à morte Por Marianna Manoura
O que dá sentido à vida dá sentido à morte
No dia 31.10, no terceiro andar de um apartamento na Rua Arkadias (Atenas), durante o manuseamento de explosivos pelo meu camarada e guerrilheiro Kyriakos Xymitiris, ocorreu uma explosão com a trágica consequência da sua morte. Por alguns momentos, comigo na sala ao lado, o tempo parou, tudo ficou escuro e eu não conseguia mexer-me. A situação era incompreensível, o seu desenrolar inconcebível. Enterrada nos escombros, tentava perceber o que tinha acontecido; pedia ajuda, procurava o meu companheiro com os olhos. Lentamente, percebi que mesmo que a linha de ação do meu camarada fosse abruptamente interrompida, a sua vida e as suas escolhas na luta seriam um flash histórico de resistência determinada, consistência e dedicação; um trampolim e uma inspiração para novas lutas.
Duas figuras apareceram a oferecer ajuda enquanto eu lhes mostrava o local onde vi meu companheiro pela última vez, o local onde os nossos olhares comprometidos se encontraram, olhares cheios de raiva pelo mundo em que vivemos, cheios de fé e fome de momentos de verdadeira liberdade.

Book presentation-Discussion ” State Against Commune: Law, Revolutions and Political ”Crimes” through the Centuries” with comrade P. Roupa (Athens,Greece)
Sunday 14/12 at 18:00 at the self-managed Perasma hangout ( Z. Pigis 97 & Isavron, Exarcheia )
The book ” State Against Commune: Law, Revolutions and Political ”Crimes” through the Ages” is a historical and political study of the concept of “political crime”. It moves away from its narrow legal dimension and examines the phenomenon within the historical context of social struggles and revolutions. The book seeks the roots of political crime , starting from pre-state free societies (communes) and their natural law. It describes how the first state structures tried to impose their power over these communities, thus creating the first political “crimes” as well as the acts of resistance of these societies against the attempt to abolish their right to live freely and self-organized.
The route passes through important historical periods and events: the ancient Athenian democracy, Rome, the medieval free cities, the Peasants’ Revolt, the French revolutions, the Paris Commune and revolutionary movements in Greece. Through these events and always according to the social and political particularities of each country and each era, common causes and goals of revolutions emerge, which are linked to the search for equality, autonomy , social solidarity and justice.

Alexis Grigoropoulos — One of Us ( Athens exarcheia ,Greece )
ALEXIS GRIGOROPOULOS – ONE OF US
“…A bullet in Alexis’s heart to end the cycle of the state machine’s omnipotence. A smear of blood on the pedestrian street of Messolonghiou to initiate the cycle of uprising that wrecked the legal order and spread chaos and anarchy in all the cities of Greece… Alexis is now an integral part of this history; I don’t know what would have happened if events had happened differently, or furthermore, whether it is more than the inner spirit of the wounded. But I can tell you about what Alexis was before he was dead from the cop’s bullets. In his short but adventurous life he lived authentically, he was a young insurgent fascinated with the idea of anarchy like those who now occupy the city streets hurling Molotov cocktails at cops and burning police cars, he was unruly and stubborn, he was an honest person with a kind soul and selfless motives in everything he did. He was a person who lived his passions and frustrations intensely…” Nikos Romanos “Requiem for a Journey of No Return” 29/11/2015
Seventeen years have passed since the murder of the anarchist student Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarcheia by the cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis, at the intersection of Messologgiou and Tzavella. The location, as well as what happened over the hours and days that followed, was not coincidental. Already before the bloody night of December 6, 2008, Exarcheia was a reference point for all those who wanted to question authority and the apparent omnipotence of the State and capital. The countless clashes with the forces of repression at the Polytechnic, the square, at Messologgiou Square and in every corner of the neighbourhood, the squats, and all the social and class struggles that took place in Exarcheia together composed a mosaic of resistance and social anti-violence against the voracious engine of power that wants to destroy every dream and desire of those below.

Text by Anarchist Charisis Foivos and Z.K. (Athens,Greece)
THE LIVES OF OTHERS
The purpose of this text is to inform the wider public about the stifling surveillance we have been subjected to by the “anti-terrorist” service over the last two months. However, it also serves as a clear warning that, one way or another, this blatant and intense violation of our personal lives and privacy will no longer be tolerated. Starting from the premise that in the public arena, priority should be given to fighters whose situation is far worse than ours, such as the dozens of political prisoners, the hundreds of persecuted men and women, the thousands beaten by the forced of repression, which in our country operate as gangs that leave battered people in their wake, we chose not to publicize our case until now.
However, our stance, which stems from humble understanding, as explained above, has probably been interpreted as weakness by those in command on the 12th floor of Alexandras Avenue (The Headquarters of Athens General Police Directorate). They probably think that they will always have the green light to cast their dirty glances over our daily lives. That is why we are now openly and publicly denouncing the daily suffocating surveillance we have been subjected to for two months now by this particular service.

Greece: ( City of Giannena) taking responsibility by conspiratorial circles of aggressive solidarity
Taking responsibility by conspiratorial circles of aggressive solidarity
On November 17th, we decided to break the deathly silence of the city by destroying some of the symbols of modern capitalism. Specifically, 2 ATMs: 1 from NRG (formerly bank of Piraeus) in the mosque area and 1 from Ethniki bank in Ch. Katsari street.
We dedicate our action to the persecuted comrades of the Matrozos 45 Squat who are threatened with 6.5 years in prison. No imprisonment of squatters and anarchists will go unanswered.

CLAIM FOR THE COMMANDO ATTACK ON THE OPKE TEAM AT STREFI HILL IN EXARCHEIA ,ATHENS ON 1/11/2025
<<MIND THE STAIRS>>
A year and a day after comrade and armed anarchist fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris was killed in an apartment on Arcadia Street, following a premature bomb explosion, he was destined to remind everyone that social peace is nothing more than empty words in an empty space.
Along with the explosion, a promise was made. That the comrade would not be forgotten. The comrade has not been forgotten. His name became a slogan on the lips of thousands. Then it adorned walls, was written in texts and was the subject of events. However, it was not long before this name became a signature. The name of the fallen anarchist guerrilla Kyriakos ceased to belong exclusively to him. Conspirators met and nuclei were formed with his name. Commandos slipped away in the night and in the shadows in order to give light and noise to the quiet monotony of the metropolis. Going along this path, we decided to carry out a raid on the cops who have taken up camp on Strefi Hill.

Athens (Greece) Statement by the Open Assembly of Anarchists for 17N, regarding the attack by the left-wing parastate on the Athens Polytechnic
[Athens, Greece] How state policy manifests itself behind a repressive operation
Update – Statement by the Open Assembly of Anarchists for November 17 (rally), regarding the attack by the left-wing para-state on the Polytechnic (52 years since the Athens Polytechnic uprising of 1973 during the Greek military junta)
… people who have nothing to say
in positions of power just babble …
Now and forever rekindling
(song: “For now and forever”– Genia tou Chaous, 1989)
In our call to the oppressed, the rebels, and the people of the struggle, to join our anarchist/anti-authoritarian rally bloc for November 17, we wrote: “The invocation of the democratic polity by the state and its supporters, under whatever guise, left or right, is a deception for those at the bottom. Authoritarian violence and the attempt to displace subversive social struggles and their rebellious characteristics from the public sphere and collective consciousness are means of terrorizing and silencing subversive ideas and freedoms. […] Free Polytechnics here and now for all, everything and everyone, outside the shackles of party manipulation and deception”. And as history has shown, it was as if we were foreshadowing with this address what would follow on the first day of this year’s three-day Polytechnic “celebration”, with the repressive attack (and attempted displacement from the public historical space) on our assembled body in the courtyard of the National Technical University of Athens by the party army of ARAS (left anti-capitalist coalition).

BROSURE [+ENG, +ESP] ON THE UPCOMING APPEAL OF MATROZOU 45, DECEMBER 2, 2025
SOBRE LA PROXIMA APELACION DEL JUICIO DE MATROZOU 45 EL 2 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2025
———–
NO SQUATTER IN PRISON
FIRE TO ALL PRISONS
LETS SQUAT THE EMPTY HOUSES
TUESDAY DECEMBER 2nd, 9.00 am, EVERYONE TO THE ΑPPEAL COURT (EFETEIO) ATHENS
On the 2nd of December 2025, comrades will be on trial at the court of appeal for combatively defending the buildings of the Koukaki Squats Community in January 2020. The Koukaki Squats Community was created in 2017 and was formed by 3 abandonded houses (Matrozou 45, Panaitoliou 21, Arvali 3) which became livable through collective labour and served as housing squats and places of struggle for about 3 years. The doors of the houses were open to anyone who wished to fight back state violence and injustice, to anyone who was in need of shelter or the structures of social solidarity that operated in the community, to anyone who wished for a collective way of living and also to the people of the neighborhood.
Apart from the assemblies and the events that were hosted, in the squatted houses there was also a series of structures: the lending library, the public baths and washing machines and the free shop. The Community participated in struggles for the squatting and the antifascist movement, in solidairty with political prisoners, against gender violence, patriarchy, racism, the exploitation of nature, against gentrification and touristification of Koukaki, against the privatization of Filopapou hill and more. Within these three years the houses of the Community became the target of fascist attacks (3 arson attacks in Panaitoliou), they were evicted, with the police forces using all kinds of violence (beating, plastic bullets, sound grenades, chemicals) towards the squatters to throw them out of their houses and towards any other person that stood as an obstacle against the generalized state attack on squatted places.
