Barrage against the new Penal Code by Anarchists (Athens,Greece)

Barrage against the new Penal Code by Anarchists

Capital is in an ongoing international crisis, with the economic and geopolitical scene changing rapidly. Large swathes of the base are living the consequences. Wars, impoverishment and destitution are intensifying. In this context, States are arming themselves to manage social discontent and suppress the internal enemy.

On February 22, the Greek State passed a new Criminal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure. A law that clearly targets the dynamic action and survival choices of the underdog, providing for incarceration for sentences exceeding one year’s prison, effectively abolishing probation except in specific cases. A law that exacerbates the class nature of justice to the maximum, reinforcing the existing framework of redemption of sentences for those who have the ability and forced labour for those on the social fringes. Its aggression, cruelty and racism are clearly reflected in immigrants.

( Athens,Greece) Direct Action Cores – Accepting responsibility for the arson attack on the house of union cop Theodoros Foukas.

The Direct Action Cores take responsibility for the arson attack on the house of the trade union police officer, Theodoros Foukas, in the Byron area in the early hours of 1/3. For three years now, our group, through the strategy of personal targeting of representatives of power, has been trying to put into practice the motto ” MAY FEAR CHANGE CAMP “. Our visits to the homes of all of them keeps a low-intensity conflict in miniature, a psychological war against the physical target through fear, and responds on a minimal scale to the real terrorism that has its foibles in the television studios, in the courts, in the police stations, in the parliamentary offices.

Our attacks are snapshots of rebellion against the eradicators of our dreams. A collective march against the orders of power and the bowed heads that accompany them and which aims, among other things, to maintain a comprehensive logic. Organized political violence that places political strategy in an overall context. Where social competition escapes predetermined norms, set dates and becomes unpredictable, daring, radical, dangerous.

Greece: Sabotage at an Israeli hotel in Athens by Pro-Palestine saboteur

Sabotage at an Israeli hotel in Athens by Pro-Palestine saboteur

While Palestinians are dying of thirst, Israeli tourist businesses are doing golden business in Greek territory, such as Athens, where the squats that offered refuge to the persecuted have been replaced by luxury accommodation for tourists. It is another form of colonization and colonialism, in which Israeli businessmen are well versed. As a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the Palestinian people, we sabotaged the water supply to one of these colonial hotels in Exarcheia (Zoia) by cutting off the supply and cementing the clock. Israeli real estate investment company Zoia manages at least 19 buildings in Athens. Sagi Rubin, managing director of the company, places the investment as one of the largest in the Greek market.

FREEDOM TO COMRADE NIKOS MAZIOTIS

YOU FROM THE BARS AND WE FROM THE STREETS, TOGETHER WE WILL CRUSH THE STATE AND THE LAWS

STATE AND CAPITAL ARE THE ONLY TERRORISTS – SOLIDARITY WITH THE ARMED GUERRILLAS

On Saturday 23 March 2024, dozens of comrades (from Athens, Lamia, Patras, Thessaloniki) were in the city of Lamia, holding a solidarity meeting and a microphonIiki gathering in the city, a demo to Lamia court and a gathering outside of the prison of Domokos where the political prisoner Nikos Maziotis is being held.

The mobilisation on 23 March was held in solidarity with the convicted member of the Revolutionary Struggle, anarchist comrade N. Maziotis. A supportive, politically, solidarity intervention on the occasion of the comrade’s 5th in a row request for his conditional release, which has been systematically rejected for political reasons since January 2022. His new request was submitted on 12 March and is expected on the one hand the relevant recommendation of the prison prosecutor, and on the other hand the relevant decision by the competent judicial council of Lamia.

Athens, Greece – Smashing the windows of a new shop in Exarcheia

Athens, Greece – Smashing the windows of a new shop in Exarchia

athens.indymedia

Exarchia is under threat of being completely levelled by the businesses of capital and the bosses who are trying to erase every competitive and social expression of the area. Exarcheia as a neighbourhood and as a place of resistance is targeted by the state and investors with the aim of sterilization and turning them into an entertainment centre for the rich and the tourists.

The “new” shops are the showcase for all this, bringing hordes of our political and class enemies into the neighbourhood. The bosses are getting rich and the residents are being kicked out. How much longer will we tolerate this situation, this fiasco, people are angry. On Friday, March 1st we chose to break the windows of a shop that hasn’t even opened yet on Friday, at the corner of Arachovis and Zoodochou Pigis, st. next to the stationed MAT killers.

Athens,Greece ; A neighborhood demo 23rd of March against police sweeps, against racism, against queerphobia and sexism.

THE STREETS ARE OURS

A neighborhood demo against police sweeps, against racism, against queerphobia and sexism.

Meeting point: Plateia Viktoria 17:00, Saturday 23rd of March.

Two weeks ago there was a police sweep on plateia Omonia. Last week there was another sweeping operation on plateia Viktoria. Every day cops harass people of color asking for papers, coming up with legal defenses of violence, exerting control and authority.

Two weekends ago a group of around 100 young fasicts attacked two queer young people in Thessaloniki. Last month a group attacked queer people in Kypseli and chased them. Every day machos and “good guys” harass queer people and femininities on the street and in the plateias, asserting that their patriarchal power and the judgement of heteronormative society will always keep us down.

But we know the streets are ours. They have been, they are, and they will be. We the queers, women, migrants, freaks, we take up public space and refuse the ways the state and society try to crush us. This Saturday we take to the streets as a reminder to ourselves and to everyone that despite the violence, the fear, the terror, we continue to resist in ways big and small. In our neighborhood, and in every neighborhood.

See you on the streets.

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for liberation by ALF

Taking responsibility for liberation
by ALF

While others exchange recipes, we wear hoods.

In the early hours of Sunday 3/3/23 we invaded the ‘game farms’ of Vassiliadis and Kavouras in Megara (city near Athens). In the first we took down the wild boar fence and in the second we opened the doors of the deer cage.

We deny the role of ‘liberator’ and consider that we have simply done our minimal duty as solidarity towards these captive beings: We have given them a chance to live.
Good luck to all of them and bad luck to those who think of them as food.
Words are nothing, actions are everything and only by them are we judged.

Until next time…

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

Definitive release of  Pola Roupa – Solidarity and immediate release of  N. Maziotis, prisoner in Domokos prisons

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.
