Greece: Thanos Chatzianggelou – On the misery of repression towards my family circle

We once declared that the first thing to die in war is the truth. Today, along with the truth, morality accompanies death. In war, as painful as it is to realize the necessity of your existence, there are rules. Those rules are once again being broken by my pack of persecutors.

I spent almost two and a half years as a prisoner in their cells of democracy. In hooded interrogation offices, in the corridors and halls of the inquisition, in cages and concrete tombs. And in all these years not a single moment has passed from my mind to bargain my political identity with what it carries as a legacy on it. Today I am back on the streets with a set of restrictions but my conscience is clear for what I have done.

THE CELLS DO NOT HOLD COMRADES
STRENGTH TO COMRADE ANDREA F.
SOLIDARITY IS THE PEOPLE’S WEAPON

——————————–

from the Patras Solidarity Assembly

On Monday, April 22, the anti-terrorists raided the house of comrade Andrea F. in Patras, kidnapped him and took him to Athens. He is facing serious charges under the Terrorism Act. Once again the anti-terrorist scenarios are proclaimed as indisputable truth, regardless of whether they collapse like a house of cards dozens of times in the courts. In any case, the prosecuting authorities are not interested in anything other than gaining impressions and producing work to the order of the respective government, serving political expediencies, especially in view of the European elections. The entrenchment of a sense of security translates into brute force and repression, control and discipline, and police-military management of social issues.

Athens,Greece: ” total liberation’’ library opening at the open squat OutsideHill at the streffi hill in Exarxeia area.

MONDAY MAY 13 , HOURS 5pm-11pm

MONDAY 27 MAY,  6 PM OCCUPATION OUTSIDE HILL  EXARCHEIA

OPEN LIBRARY
“TOTAL LIBERATION”

The “total liberation” open library is an experimental project of solidarity and collective reading. The basic vision of the library is to spread the ideas of total liberation through the prism of antispeciesism, to create a pole of attraction, transmission and intersection of the ideas of the liberation of animals and the earth in the context of the anarchist struggle. At this stage, for some time, it will have a mobile format with some titles from the catalogue available for some hours at a predetermined point at a given time.

GATHERING – RESPONSE TO THE PROSECUTIONS OF ANTIFASCISTS FOR THE BUDAPEST CASE (Athens,Greece)

GATHERING IN DEFENCE OF MILITANT ANTIFASCISM – Friday May 24, 19:00 embassy of Hungary, Vasileos Konstantinou 38, Athens

Every year since 1997, on the 11th of February, a large number of far-right and neo-Nazi groups flock to Budapest for public events, commemorating the attempted escape of the besieged Nazi SS and Wermacht troops and their local collaborators from Budapest in 1945, shortly before the liberation of the city from the Red Army forces. This day is a reference point and meeting point for the European far right and takes place with the full tolerance of the Hungarian state, as this date is presented as a day of historical remembrance by the apologists and nostalgists of the Nazis.

On 11 February 2023, the Hungarian police made 6 arrests, with the Italian comrade Ilaria and the German comrade Tobias being in Hungarian prisons since then, accused of attacking Neo-Nazis during public far-right events in Budapest on the occasion of the so-called Memorial Day. In particular, Ilaria is accused of participating in two attacks against Nazis, with the aggravating circumstance of “endangering a victim’s life”, while also being accused of knowing, without herself being involved, of the existence of an international criminal association that organized the attacks in questions. While our German comrade Tobias along with another German comrade are being accused of participation in a criminal organization.

Athens,Greece: Attack on the MAT (riot cops) in Exarcheia square for Mauricio Morales present!

Shortly after midnight on Saturday 18/5, we carried out a coordinated attack on the MAT protecting the metro construction site in Exarchia square. We attacked them simultaneously from three different streets, Themistokleous, Solomou and Metaxas. The cops, once again, were running in panic trying to get away from the fires.

This action came amid a time when the sheet metal of the construction site is expanding, where the government is preparing the ground for new more repressive measures, both in the universities and more widely in the neighborhoods, taking advantage as usual of the summer season when the possibilities for organized and mass resistance are reduced. So this is our response to remind them that, as always, they will find us in front of them.

15 years after the death of Mauricio Morales we send a signal of fire and complicity from Greece to Chile, honoring the international cooperation that existed between these two lands not many years ago. Let the slogan “spark in Santiago, fire in Athens” become a reality again.

Athens, Greece: Claiming responsibility for attacks on Israeli targets

Athens: Claiming responsibility for attacks on Israeli targets.

by international women, solidarity-es in the struggle of the Palestinians

On the evening of April 15th we decided to show our solidarity in some way with the Palestinian people who are experiencing Israel’s genocidal violence. We therefore attacked a hotel with Israeli interests with paint while writing slogans at the met (Preservable apartment building of modern interwar architecture)  at 25 Metsovou Street, thus attacking Israeli capital which is also contributing to the gentrification of the Exarcheia neighbourhood. At the same time we attacked the starbucks in Glyfada with hammers and spraypaint while a fire extinguisher was opened in the kitchen resulting in the suspension of the store. Starbucks was targeted because of their support (financial and moral) to the IDF.

Freedom to the Fighter Andreas F. (Mesologgi ,Greece)

On the 22nd Andreas F. was kidnapped by the lackeys of counter-terrorism and the conventional police of Patras. He was taken to Athens for questioning and imprisoned. The cops raided his house, trying to find anything that could contribute to their fabricated incriminatory account. On the 26th the attack on the struggling social base by orgious repression was supplemented by an attack on the “Annex” university occupation and the arrest of 26 comrades.

The dogs of the state undertake ruthless war against the movement of Patras in order to completely crush it. What has happened is more contemporary than ever, and it is the responsibility of anyone struggling to reverse the roles. For the fear of those who sew and maintain it. Let their terrorism not intrude on society and our conciences.

Strong Andreas…

No cell enough to lock our souls

No system enough to stabilise us

No law enough to subdue us

Solidarity to the 26 arrested comrades

We’ll catch the breath of freedom when the cells are lit

Greece: 15 Athens Economic Blockade for Palestine, Statement for April 15th

Monday April 15th

We are an initiative of people in Solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance and we denounce the genocide of the Palestinian people perpetrated by the colonial state of Israel.

The tactics of the Israeli army are among the most horrific and inhumane ever seen- the indiscriminate air strikes, the consistant humiliation and starvation,the bombardment of hospitals and camps -, and they confirm with certainty the historic will of the apartheid regime of Israel to annihilate Palestine and the Palestinian people, which began with the “Catastrophe”/”Naqba” in 1948 and led to the displacement of 7.6 million Palestinians, the majority of Palestinian society.

As we enter the seventh month of horrific attacks by the Zionist Occupation Military Forces throughout Gaza and other Palestinian territories, which have claimed over 35 000 victims, including over 13 000 children, the silence and complicity of most Western governments, supposed guardians of human rights, is intolerable.

Taking responsibility In the early hours of Thursday 14/3/24 we carried out an incendiary attack on 5 buses. (Athens,Greece)

Taking responsibility

In the early hours of Thursday 14/3 we carried out an incendiary attack on 5 buses of the Kanasis private school on Taxilou Street in Zografou area. The result of this was the complete destruction of the buses as well as damage to the building itself. Even at the operational level, the school program was completely disorganised.

First of all, we want to make it clear that we are not in favour of either private or public-state education. The aim of the present educational system is “domestication”, civilizing loyal subjects through the inculcation of the values and principles of the system of domination and the production of disciplined slaves. The way of teaching is completely standardized and sterile, cut off from practical experience, oriented towards the welfare of the techno-industrial system. Every trace of initiative and creativity is neutralized, making it difficult to develop and sharpen critical thinking. Another goal of the educational system is the construction of personalities entirely in harmony with the normative standards and norms implemented through the punishment-reward dichotomy.

Hrakleio Grete, Greece: Evangelismos Squat is threatened once again ,we will not surrender, we will fight back!

EVANGGELISMOS SQUAT IS THREATENED ONCE AGAIN, WE WILL NOT SURRENDER, WE WILL FIGHT BACK

During the last few days we received information regarding an upcoming eviction of Evangelismos squat, just shortly after the evictions of the Kastelli Hill squats in Chania, in the form of a total attack against squats in Crete. The possibility of a new operation was something that was also indicated by the deal between University of Crete and National Technical University of Athens for a building survey, costing 744.000€. At this point, we have valid and specific information about this upcoming eviction as well, since counting 22 years of struggle, Evangelismos is part of the local society of Heraklion, with deep roots and networks within it, and we are in a position to know anything.

Patras city,Greece – Taking responsibility for an attack on the Space Hellas company – Freedom in Palestine by Anarchists

 Taking responsibility for an attack on the Space Hellas company – Freedom in Palestine

For the last 75 years the Palestinian people have been in a state of war having suffered persecution, imprisonment, torture, mass murder, checkpoint control, settlements, targeted deprivation of basic needs, inside an open prison fenced off and fully controlled by the military, Gaza.

The methodical Israeli genocide was further exacerbated after the attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, when the Israeli army began a ground military operation in the Palestinian territories, relentlessly bombing the civilian population, hospitals and social structures, with the blessing of the Western powers, of NATO and its allies.

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.
