HONOR for Ever to anarchist fighter and member of R.S. Lambros Foundas. (Greece)

No matter how many years pass, the comrade Lambros, is a bright example for the continuation of the struggle and the revolutionary perspective. The 10th of March has been indelibly written in the history of internal as well as international revolutionary and class struggle. His life, action and death are – for the anarchist/anti-authoritarian and the more broadly anti-capitalist space – a precious legacy that inspires old and new generations of comrades alike. Lambros is one of us, he is always in our heart and in our actions.

HONOUR FOREVER TO THE ANARCHIST COMRADE LAMBROS FOUNTAS

EXARCHEIA ALWAYS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF PALESTINE TO FREEDOM (Athens,Greece)

EXARCHEIA ALWAYS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF PALESTINE TO FREEDOM

Always on the right side of history, on the side of social struggles, class solidarity, internationalism, on the side of the workers, the immigrants, the excluded, the fighters. Also yesterday Exarcheia shouted what has been one of its components of their political identity for decades: their solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance. Both for the movement of solidarity with the Palestinian people, and for the movement to defend Exarcheia from the encroachment of capital and the State, yesterday’s demonstration, called by the Assembly of Solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance, was undoubtedly important. The first was grounded – even more deeply – with Exarcheia, the second was coordinated – even more – with the solidarity movements in Palestine, a composition that politically strengthens both and can and must continue.

The demonstration started at 8, after an hour’s gathering at the intersection of Kallidromiou st. with Emm. Benaki  st., where a microphone was set up from which texts in Arabic and Greek were read, while Palestinian music was played. Filled with emotion, consciousness and love for Exarcheia and for Palestine and with mass participation with a strong Palestinian element, the demonstration marched through the streets of Exarcheia, passed through the occupied Square, preventing with its pulse and determination the lurking forces of repression from attempting to block her, to end at Alexis’s monument in a climate of competitive elevation.

Athens, Greece: For smashing Polyamorous flower shop on 10/2/2024 by Anarchists

Athens, Greece: For smashing Polyamorous on 10/2/2024

In Exarcheia – for decades now, but with particular intensity in recent years – a war is being waged on the part of the state.

A neighbourhood inhabited for many years largely by proletarians, immigrants, women activists, students and youth, a neighbourhood that has always been the “centre” of all kinds of radical movements, has long been part of a coordinated and centrally planned operation of aggressive and violent mutation. The Greek state has invested a lot in achieving a double goal: on the one hand, in handing over to capital – big and small – an important piece of the metropolitan centre for profitable investments mainly in the field of real estate, tourism and the entertainment industry that always connects this kind of “development” and, on the other hand, the all-out attack on the world and the structures of the movement that for decades have arisen, rooted in the neighbourhood of Exarcheia, with the aim of closing its historical accounts with the internal enemy in the heart of the city.

City of Corinth, Greece : Intervention against private universities by Initiative of solidarity in the students’ struggle

Intervention against private universities

On Sunday, February 25, we, comrades, carried out an intervention in the city of Corinth, specifically in university buildings, wanting to send a minimal message of solidarity to the students in struggle.

The authoritarianism of the neo-liberal government of the ND is endless. The privatization of universities is in its sights as far as the fields are concerned after the abolition of asylum and the attempt to establish university police. Yet another clearly classist bill that will literally strangle free children at the altar of unstoppable capitalist profit. University education, therefore, for the few and the good.

Today, on Sunday 25/02/24, another beautiful and proud day dawned upon Heraklion. We cancelled the visit of the leader of the party “Spartans” (that is, the Golden Dawn by another name) to the metropolitan church of St. Minas in Heraklion.

Around 9 am, 70 of us antifascists gathered outside St. Minas coordinated and prepared to fight to remind, once more, to all those interested, that fascists are not going to get any space at all in our city. We remained on the spot as long as was necessary to ensure that neither Stigkas nor any other fascist scoundrel would dare show their faces. Following that, we moved to the center of the city where we scattered.

Athens,Greece: Luxury hotels and airbnbs in Exarchia were spray painted in solidarity with Palestine.


Luxury hotels and airbnbs in Exarchia were spray painted in solidarity with Palestine.

In the last 6 years, Israeli funds and businessmen have been spreading the tentacles of their capital in the neighborhoods of Athens and especially in the Exarchia district, selling gentrification, urban culture and luxuries while contributing to the displacement of the locals and the poor.

Patras, Greece: Claiming responsibility for the attack on the City Unity private College by Anarchists

Patras, Claiming responsibility for the attack on the City Unity private College by Anarchists

In the continuous advance of educational restructuring in Greece over recent years, domestic and international bosses have found fertile ground for profit in the name of education and higher education, which, based on European standards, is rapidly moving towards its transformation into another commercial product. From tuition fees in postgraduate courses and mandatory private contractors within the social welfare of the state universities (cooking, cleaning), the managers and sponsoring companies, the businesses on the campuses (Coffee island being a shocking example in the city of Patras) capital is flowing into the areas of what was once asylum, as it tries to go with the policy of privatization in all areas of life.

Within this condition, we do not find it surprising that both in Patras and other cities, they have found fertile ground for the private interests of IEK and colleges to flourish, for which the circumvention of Article 16 through the “free university” bill is the ideal condition for upgrading the degrees they provide to a level equal to that of public universities, leading to a subsequent degradation of public ones as they will not be able to compete with the private ones, leading them either to closure or to the path of commercialization, raising even greater class barriers in accessibility to higher education and literacy.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for Parcel – Bomb to the President of the Court of Appeal Anastasia Anthopoulou by ‘Armed Response’

Thessaloniki, Responsibility claim for Parcel – Bomb to the President of the Court of Appeal Anastasia Anthopoulou by ‘Armed Response’

The work of the judicial officials is clearly aimed at torturing and impoverishing all prisoners and in general all those who unfortunately have to face their fate.

Judges, prosecutors, appellants, all together have for years created a closed group of torturers, of course with the help and complicity of the governments of the day.

Attack on a hotel with Israeli interests by Anarchists for the victory of the Palestinian resistance (Athens,Greece)

Attack on a hotel with Israeli interests
by Anarchists for the victory of the Palestinian resistance

On the evening of January 5th, we chose to target the Bob W Akadimia Athens in the Exarcheia area at 4 Zalongou Street, a hotel with Israeli interests. This action was obviously carried out to support the resistance in Palestine against the murderous state of Israel and to target Israeli capital in our country, but a reason could not exist here without taking into account the gentrification of this particular neighbourhood and the tourism in it aimed at bending the resistance that Exarcheia has had as its roots for many decades. Through gentrification, the neighbourhood is aimed at becoming a middle-class amusement park and ultimately at changing its class status, driving out the residents and activists who live and operate in it.

As far as the Palestinian question is concerned, we understand our obligation to act from our own position and place.

As anarchists, we must stand in practical solidarity with the people of Palestine, show that, contrary to the bigotry and the “puppet government”, Greek society is on the right side of history, which has also been shown by the magnificent demonstrations that have been held in this country from 7/10 on wards.
