Kyriakos X is sailing to Gaza.


Named in honour of internationalist anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris, the boat ‘Kyriakos X’ is sailing with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition to break Israel’s genocidal blockade that the zionist state has imposed on Gaza for decades. In a testament to Kyriakos’s life, which he dedicated to fight for justice and for the oppressed, the boat also stands in solidarity with the legitimate resistance of Palestinian people, who never stopped fighting to end the colonialist occupation of their land.

On the 8th of May, Kyriakos X left the harbour with 33 other vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla and met four other Freedom Flotilla Coalition boats at sea. The boat carries 10 people from five different countries, including Greece, Albania, the United Kingdom, Korea, France and Guadalupe. Continue reading Kyriakos X is sailing to Gaza.


(Thessaloniki) Poster as a sign of solidarity with the imprisoned comrades of May 11

On the morning of May 11, 2026, our anarchist comrades carried out an expropriation of a bank in Kato Tithorea. A few hours later, cops chased the comrades for several kilometers and then rounded them up. Home invasions followed, where the remaining comrades were arrested. The charges include both possession of weapons and involvement in robberies.

We consider it the responsibility of those who make up the anarchist space to politically and morally defend the choices of the comrades who have chosen these means of struggle, regardless of the hypothetical criticism we will receive from the “good” society. From the anarchist illegalists at the beginning of the 20th century to the metropolitan guerrilla in the here and now, the expropriation of resources from capital has been, is and will be a practice chosen by revolutionary movements. It is our duty to build a real wall of solidarity with our captive comrades as soon as possible. Until the total destruction of capital. Until Anarchy

TERRORISTS AND ROBBERS ARE THE STATES AND CAPITALISTS (Athens, Greece)

On the morning of May 11th, a bank branch in Kato Tithorea (Central Greece) was expropriated. A few hours later, 8 comrades were arrested following a simultaneous repressive operation by the police in the wider area and home invasions in Athens.

Text of comrades:

In the early hours of May 11, 2026, a group of comrades expropriated a bank in Kato Tithorea. Approximately 5 hours later, 5 of them were arrested after a coordinated repressive operation by the police and houses invasions raids . 8 comrades, anarchists, found themselves hostages in the hands of the state.

We have been charged with an inflated indictment that includes bank expropriations and weapons possession. The comrades are being held at the GADA (police HQ in Athens) and some comrades at the Vyronas Prison. Today, 12/05, we went through the prosecutor and were given a deadline to appear before the investigator on Friday, 15/05 at 9am at Evelpidon, building 9.

Responsibility for the incendiary arson attacks on the homes of Panagiotis Tsanakas,a snitch dean of the ΕΜΠ and a riot police officer (Athens,Greece)

Responsibility for the incendiary arson attacks on the homes of
Panagiotis Tsanakas,a snitch dean of the ΕΜΠ and a riot police officer

National Metsovian Military Police

In the early hours of March 25, we carried out an arson attack on the
residence of the dean of the National Polytechnic University of
Athens, Panagiotis Tsanakas, as well as a riot police officer, in the
Zografou neighborhood. Our investigation into the chief of the
academic rabble at the Polytechnic led us to a coincidence that is both peculiar and poetically explainable. A snitch and a cop that work and live together, an image that is, at the very least, moving.

Tsanakas is not merely Hatzigeorgiou’s (director of the National
Technical University of Athens) lackey; rather, as the culmination of
his “academic” work, he has shamelessly turned in to the police a
student who was writing slogans in support of the Palestinian people on campus’ walls. However, he plays a deeper and more substantial role in Hatzigeorgiou’s police-controlled monstrosity, a rectorate that permits/enforces the daily presence and patrols of police on campus in full compliance and obedience to the dictates of the New Democracy doctrine for absolute control and, in essence, necrosis of student and subversive struggles within universities. An administration that we have lost count of how many times it has ordered the invasion of law enforcement forces onto the university grounds, with a particular “sensitivity” when it comes to those showing solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.

Open Online Call for the Full-on Defense of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika

On Thursday, 7th of May at 9pm CET we will come together online to speak about the plan of an action week for the escalation of the struggle from the 9th-16th of May.

On the 16th of May, comrade Aristotelis Chantzis will be in 101 days of hunger strike. Since First of May, comrade Suzon Doppagne stands alongside his struggle as the second hunger striker until death. More comrades will follow this path if the demands of the community are not met.

The community has the need to escalate these struggles until victory, it is time to increase the pressure on all levels towards all representatives of the Greek State and the EU.
To the point that no one can deny the responsibility of the lives of the hunger strikers and the life of a whole community with over 400 members in their hands. Continue reading Open Online Call for the Full-on Defense of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika

Thessaloniki (Greece) : Claim of responsibility by anarchists for arson attack on a Tesla car

In the early hours of April 22, we set fire to a Tesla car in the Sykies area of ​​Thessaloniki.

From praxis to theory

This action stems from our burning desire to attack one of the many machines that make up the technological world in which we are forced to live.

The role of technology is a key element of today’s domination and reproduction of dark normality. From our daily commutes, the obligation of work, human relationships mediated by a screen to the system of identification, control and war, none of this could function today without the technological equipment that materially supports them and on which they all depend.

Another crack in the concrete: Solidarity to the comrades facing trial on April, 30th in the Matrozou case in Athens! (Berlin,Germany)

In 2017, the Koukaki Squatting Community was created. Three abandoned houses were occupied at the streets of 45 Matrozou, 21 Panaitolio and 3 Arvali in the neighbourhood of Koukaki. A neighbourhood, close to the Filopappou Hill and the Acropolis, which was downgraded during the memorandum years [1] and then exploited by tourism and heavily gentrified.

In 2017, through collective effort the houses became habitable, flourishing as spaces for housing and political struggle. The doors of the squatted buildings were open to those who wished to counterattack state violence and injustice, to those needing shelter or the community’s solidarity structures, to those seeking a collective way of living, as well as to the people of the neighborhood. Besides assemblies and the events, the squats hosted a lending library, public showers and laundries, and a clothing exchange bazaar.

After about three years and having fought back several attacks by fascists and cops, and amongst a wave of evictions of self-organized spaces, the houses got evicted by the greek state.

In Palestine beats the heart of the world of freedom and struggle. Kyriakos Xymitiris… Present. (Athens,Greece)

When a few months ago we decided to make known the KYRIAKOS X vessel project, our comrade Mariana had written to us from prison: “…Perhaps this time Kyriakos will once again come up with an inventive and creative plan, and in his own unique way make the most difficult, the most impossible things seem achievable. As long as we are together.”

In these past months there were moments when we believed that this plan would not be realized. Even just a few days ago, we came to believe that KYRIAKOS X would not manage to sail toward Gaza.

For our comrades that died for the defense of life (Berlin,Germany)


For our comrades that died for the defense of life

For the fighters, that were willing to do the necessary

For the comrades, that decided to take life into their own hands

For the revolutionaries, that demanded nothing less than everything

And for the people, that were kids like you and me

For you, Kyriako

For you, Sara and Sandro

For everyone, that gave their life for the defence of life

On 19th of March 2026, anarchist comrades Sara Ardizzone and Alessandro Mercogliano were found dead following the collapse of a farmhouse in Rome. The media is reporting about the alleged explosion of an explosive device. While the exact circumstances remain unclear, one thing is clear to us: Sara and Sandro died in action, they died fighting (https://circoloculturaleanarchicofiaschi.noblogs.org/2026/03/21/piu-forti-della-morte/).

Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on Vasilis Kapernaros’ law office – Direct Action Cells ( Athens,Greece)

The Direct Action Cells claim responsibility for the incendiary attack on the office of far-right lawyer and failed politician Vasilis Kapernaros in the Kypseli neighborhood in the early hours of April 2. Just as we did the last time we attacked a collaborator in the crimes of Tempi (the Vozenberg residence, February 2025), so now we name the cell that carried out the attack after the armed urban guerrilla Kyriakos Xymiteris. We call upon all fighting revolutionary forces. Every comrade who devises subversive plans and puts them into action through dynamic acts, to take up the torch and honor the memory of our comrade as he deserves. To set fire to the quiet nights of the metropolis.

To take the risks that are necessary so that we can show through our actions that there is no better way to remember and honour our dead than by intensifying the war against the rot of the system and its dominant culture.

The statement of anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos.

Nikos Romanos: I am here after almost 18 months of arbitrary and vindictive detention. I also want to contribute to the restoration of the truth with my statement. In general, I believe that the only reason I am here is my past. And I will explain later why I say this.

First of all, let me repeat here, as I have said from the beginning, that I have nothing to do with this specific case. I have not committed any of the offences attributed to me and I believe that this entire story, this entire path that has led me here, is the result of revenge that has brought me to this objectively unfavourable position.
