 Greece: Testimony of the brother of a dead teenager
12/11/2023

“We were with my brother, his girlfriend and her sister. He didn’t have a driving licence yet and now that he was nearly 18 he was about to get one. We had taken the car for a drive. We were going from Aliarto to Leontari Thebes. My brother signaled to him to stop but because there were bends in the road there, he didn’t want to as he was afraid someone might come in the opposite direction and there would be a crash. My brother was scared because we had the girls in the car. A little further on, at about 800 metres, he put on the hazard lights and stopped the car.”

The brother of the dead 17-year-old and an eyewitness stated that “the policeman got out of the cop car fuming with nerves, approached, hit the car window on my brother’s side with his gun, with force. My brother opened the door, he didn’t have time to get out before the policeman starting kicking him in the ribs, in the legs, on his shins, grabbed him by the T shirt and shot him. The asphalt was covered in my brother’s blood. For nothing. There are witnesses. No pursuit, nothing. At that moment there was nothing I or the girls could do”.


Some up dates: 12/11/ 23 In Thessaloniki, a march of about 300 people. Strong tension.

Athens, Greece: ABOUT THE INJURED 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL
About the injured 16 year old girl

On Saturday 28/10 an anti-fascist concert was organized in Heraklion Square, regarding the callouts against the fascist celebration of the 10th anniversary of November 1st (execution of two members of the golden down neo-nazis X.A.). During the concert, a group of antifascists patrolled the streets of Neo Heraklion area. At a very close distance from the concert venue the group crossed with cars of the O.P.K.E. The cops, without the slightest reason and although it was clear that the group had no intention of a confrontation with them, made a surprise attack, splitting the group of antifascists into two parts.

Athens: Arson Attack on the Home of Far-Right MP Yannis Dimitrokalis by Direct Action Cells in Greece

The Direct Action Cells carried out the arson attack on the home of the MP for Spartans (a far-right political party established in 2017) of Eastern Attica, Yannis Dimitrokalis, in the area of Ilizia during the morning of October 28. The choice of the date was not accidental. The era of resistance to the Nazi occupiers and their local collaborators, the sacrifices, suffering, toil and struggles of hundreds of thousands of fighters during the period 1940-1949 is a political heritage which we actively defend against all kinds of historical revisionists and falsifiers. The political ancestors of Dimitrokalis, Kasidiaris (Illias Kasidiaris, a far-right politician and one of the former leaders of Golden Dawn, who is still politically active despite being in prison since 2021) and his group are the ones who handed over to the Nazi German invaders the thousands of communists who were imprisoned and had begged in vain to be released to fight them. They are the ones who put on a hood and became informers. They are the ones who became black marketers and condemned hundreds of thousands to hunger and misery.

They are the ones who became Hitlerites and National Socialists, swore allegiance to the Third Reich and fought on the side of the Germans and then the British imperialists. So let all these penny-pinching patriots know that history has recorded the political ancestors of Kasidiaris and his followers as the accomplices of those who stepped with their fascist boots on the heads of those who fought with their blood for altars and hearths.

THREE YEARS IN DEFENCE OF STREFFI HILL. (Athens,Greece)

THREE YEARS IN DEFENCE OF STREFFI HILL.

It’s been almost a year since Strefi hill became a construction site guarded by cops 24/7. It’s been almost a year since the municipality has been trying to take away anything that is wild and free on the hill. The real estate company Prodea Investments and Unison entered Strefi on October 3rd 2022 with “redevelopment plans”.

Of course, their plans did not restore any of the hill’s problems, but caused more instead. Flooding and the corrosion of the soil are the main problems of the hill. As you can see in the pictures, even after a small amount of rain, everything is falling apart after Prodea’s flood protection project and the excavations for underground lighting and CCTV networks. The majority of the plants that hold the hill together have been eradicated.

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for smashing Israeli interests by proletarians

Athens: Taking responsibility for smashing Israeli interests by proletarians

Over the past 20 days we have witnessed another page in the heroic struggle of the Palestinian people for freedom and dignity. On October 7, the coordinated operation of the Palestinian resistance organizations, Al Aqsa storm, was manifested in response to the decades of occupation, displacement, genocide and humiliation suffered by the Palestinian people at the hands of the Zionist state of Israel.

A genocide that is taking place under the indifferent gaze of the international community, which, through its unrelenting support for the Israeli state, is complicit in the thousands of dead, the thousands of refugees, the daily bombardments and conditions of blockade, as well as the deprivation of food, water, medical care and finally the right to life of the Palestinians.

Athens,Greece: Text of Thersitis (Anarchist collective in Athens) on solidarity in the occupation and reoccupation of the a/a space that is shared in the neighbourhoods of Ilio and Ag. Anargyron

Text of Thersitis (Anarchist, a place of intrigue & subversion in Athens) on solidarity in the occupation and reoccupation of the a/a space that is shared in the neighborhoods of Ilio and Ag. Anargyron

Recently another series of repressive operations against occupied spaces of the anarchist-anti-authoritarian movement  (a/a) has been underway. On 8/25, the self-managed squat Ano Kato Patision and the Zizania social centre are evicted, with the latter being reoccupied on 10/14 by comrades from Zizania and a number of supporters. On 4/9 the hangout of the anarchist queer collective Kaliarda at the Faculty of Law is evicted, which is immediately retaken by the comrades@. On 8/31, the first attempt to evict the Self-Managed Polytechnic squat is made, to be followed by three more, with extensive clashes between comrades and police forces, with dozens of arrests. The last unsuccessful attempt to evict takes place on 9/30, while on the same day the occupation of Evangelismos in Heraklion, Crete, is evicted, with ten arrested and one comrade seriously injured.

This story has been going on for years

Repressive attacks against of the anarchist-anti-authoritarian spaces   go back a long way. It seems, however, that since 2010 their suppression has been a primary concern of political administrators of all stripes. After the 2008 uprising, squatter projects and self-organized spaces are increasing, while in the social struggles of the period 10′-12′, the large strike mobilizations and neighbourhood assemblies, they are foci of resistance, planning together with a crowd of people a different model of social organization, with horizontal processes, without divisions and exclusions, with collective kitchens, self-education courses, events-discussions, etc., as well as a multitude of actions and interventions aggressive towards the policies of depreciation and exploitation.
