Athens, Exarxeia area:Taking responsibility against gentrification and displacement by Anarchists
The gentrification of the neighbourhood of Exarchia continues at a rapid pace. Our rents are going up, Airbnbs are springing up everywhere, Cyrille-hipster shops are opening one after the other and groups of tourists are socializing with the cops continuing to pollute our neighbourhood with their presence.
At the same time, the control and surveillance of the area with dozens of cameras reinforces the repressive apparatus of state and capital which, together with the cops, are attempting to sweep and destroy of resistance, self-organization, occupations, the Exarcheia of rebellion. Latest attack: on the trees of the square, one of the few green spots in the neighbourhood.
