Για τα συντρόφια Σάρα και Σάντρο, που θα είναι πάντα ζωντανά στους αγώνες μας

Στις 19 Μαρτίου, στην Ιταλία, οι αναρχικοί σύντροφοι Alessandro Marcogliano και Sara Ardizzone σκοτώθηκαν έπειτα από έκρηξη που οδήγησε στην κατάρρευση της οροφής ενός εγκαταλελειμμένου κτιρίου του πρώην σιδηροδρομικού σταθμού, γνωστού ως “Casale del Sellaretto”, στο πάρκο των ρωμαϊκών υδραγωγείων. Τόσο από την ανακοίνωση των εκεί μπάτσων, όσο και από την κατάσταση που βρέθηκε η σορός του συντρόφου Sandro, φαίνεται ότι είχε προηγηθεί πρόωρη έκρηξη.

Support and participate in the defense of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika in Athens and the self-organized restoration of the neighborhood (Greece)

In the heart of Athens, the  Community of Squatted Prosfygika has hosted, sheltered, fed, and supported thousands of people over the past 15 years. It is one of the largest self-organized and liberated neighborhoods in Europe.

The Community is becoming stronger, but so is the repression. Currently, Prosfygika is under threat of attack and eviction. Over the past decade, this is the fiths time that the state and the region have attempted to evict and loot Prosfygika. This time, the threat seems the most serious and is about to be executed immediately.

Ampelokipoi Case – 3rd Hearing – 04/03/2026 (detailed report)

The day began with the examination of the remaining witness for the prosecution. The witness is the owner of apartment C7. In response to questions from the presiding chamber, he estimated the total damage to his apartment at between 5,000 and 10,000 euros. He also stated that the issue of structural stability may have been raised by TERNA, without them having been provided with a copy of any technical report. The witness does not know who commissioned the TEE report or who handled the procedures for issuing the building permit. The witness confirmed that there are open shops on the ground floor of the apartment building and expressed the opinion that, theoretically, there is a structural stability issue in the event of an earthquake.

He also confirmed that the crew working on the restoration of the apartment building is small.

In response to the chairman’s questions regarding whether the residents had collectively taken any action toward the authorities, the witness replied that there is a difficulty in communication. Continue reading Detailed report of Ampelokipi Case – 3rd Hearing – April 3, 2026 (Athens,Greece)

Neos Kosmos area in Athens – Claim of Responsibility for arson attack on a Violanta company van (Greece)

Excerpt of the Claim of Responsibility for arson attack on a Violanta company van by Anarchist Core “Fantasy Optimism Risk”

In the early hours of 31/03, we placed an incendiary device on a Violanta company van on Baknana Street in Neos Kosmos as a minimal response to the murder of 5 workers at the Violanta factory.

The death of the 5 workers and the injury of 7 other workers after the powerful explosion that took place at the Violanta factory in Trikala on January 26th adds to the huge mosaic of bosses’ murders by the state and capital. Agapi Bounova, Vasiliki Skampardoni, Elena Katsarou, Stavroula Boukouvala, Anastasia Nasiou were murdered. Their names must remain alive in everyone’s memory as murdered members of our class.

[Heraklion, Crete] : Attack at the offices of ANEK Lines at the centre of the city of Heraklion by Anarchists ( Greece)

Attack at the offices of ANEK Lines at the centre of the city of Heraklion by Anarchists 

The tragic events at the “Violanda” factory in Trikala and off the coast of Chios island are, in the harshest possible way, evidence of the bosses’ brutal capitalist exploitation and of the murderous/racist policies of the Greek state at the borders.

In recent years, the Greek state and Greek capitalists have been
pursuing a policy of all-out attack on the country’s social base, with
criminal and deadly consequences. Some of these have shaken it to its core and left a deep scar on its collective consciousness. Continue reading [Heraklion, Crete] : Attack at the offices of ANEK Lines at the centre of the city of Heraklion by Anarchists ( Greece)

Athens, Greece: Arson Attack on the Home of the Snitch Dean of NTUA and a Riot Police Officer

National Gendarmerie of Athens

In the early hours of March 25, we attacked with an incendiary device the building where the dean of the NTUA, Panagiotis Tsanakas, as well as a riot police officer, live in the area of Zografou. Our research on the chief snitch of the academic rabble of the Polytechnic brought us in front of a simultaneously special but poetically explainable coincidence. A snitch and a cop work and live together, a touching image to say the least.

Tsanakas is not simply the tsuchiki [contemptuous address for a person we consider vile and insignificant] of Hadjigeorgiou (rector of NTUA) but as the culmination of his “academic” work he has shamelessly handed over to the police a student who was writing slogans in favor of the Palestinian people on the school grounds. However, he has a deeper and more essential role in Hadjigeorgiou’s police-held monstrosity, of a rectory that allows/imposes the daily presence and the scolding of cops on campus in full compliance and obedience to the dictates of the ND doctrine for absolute control and essentially the necrosis of student and subversive struggles on university campuses. A rectorate that we have lost count of how many times has ordered the invasion of the repressive forces on the university grounds, with a particular “sensitivity” when it comes to those in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.

Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger” (Athens, Greece)

Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

In March, none of us shall die (March 2010, Daphne – Lambros Fountas, an anarchist guerrilla who fell in a clash with cops) – (March 2026, outskirts of Rome – Sara Ardizone and Sandro Mercoliano, anarchist comrades who were killed by an explosion)

In October, none of us shall die (October 2024, Ampelokipi, Athens – Kyriakos Xymitiris, anarchist guerrilla killed by explosion)

In May, none of us shall die (May 2025, Thessaloniki – Snizanna Paraskevaidou, fell in an explosion during an attack on a bank)

And the story continues like this. Through the battles of our own people, simple, everyday. Like Lambros, like Kyriakos, like Snizanna, like Sandro and Sara and so many more people who lost their lives in direct action.

Statements from the two comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta in the 2 day of the trial. (Athens,Greece)

Statements from the two comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta .

Marianna Manoura

I would like to state to the residents of the apartment building that the explosion was not due to an organized plan. It resulted in the death of my comrade, Kyriakos Xymitiris, and my own serious injury. We never wanted general people to suffer, nor to cause damage to people whilst social conditions are already very serious. When our political space wants to attack it evaluates, and the logic of collateral damage is in no way consistent with its values. We use our means against the system alone.

I thank the two people who helped me immediately after the explosion. Continue reading Statements from the two comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta in the 2 day of the trial. (Athens,Greece)

Thessaloniki : Attack responsibility upheaval by Anarchists (Greece)

In the early hours of Monday, February 9, we smashed the window of the Protergia store at 183 Gr. Lambraki Street. The reason we chose this particular target is obvious. Electricity bills are getting higher every month, so that energy barons (such as Mytilineos) can get rich off our backs, exploiting our needs. The price of energy has become an economic game on the stock market over who will make the most, while the poor live in destitution, battered by the rot of this system.

The successive crises (real or fictitious) of the state and capital are taking their toll on the social and class base. It is no coincidence that during “critical” periods, as the state labels them, companies like Protergia increase their turnover and profits. The high cost of supermarket prices, rent, and electricity makes daily life a struggle for survival.

(Greece) If We Are Afraid Today, We Will Be Afraid Tomorrow and Forever – Dimitra Zarafeta

If We Are Afraid Today, We Will Be Afraid Tomorrow and Forever 

It took 512 days for the authorities to finally decide that it was time to try our case, the Ampelokipi case. Just one breath before the end of the 18-month period. Not because the investigative process was truly endless, nor because new evidence was constantly emerging in the meantime. From the very first moment, the facts were more or less the same.

The choice, however, to set the trial at the last minute was neither accidental nor procedural. It was a purely political choice, a conscious method so that the process would run on a fast track and the desired decision would be produced, with the same speed. Nevertheless, in this last text of mine before the trial, I will not dwell in detail on the practices and methods that the judicial authorities employ against us. These are already known to anyone who wants to see them.
