Responsibility claim about the incendiary attack on MG dealership
in Vyronas 9/10/25
All who are lost in the fires of the struggle never die
Every October is black, every thought we have is black, every action we take is black. Since October 31, 2024, our hearts have been frozen upon hearing the news of the death of our anarchist comrade and guerilla Kyriakos Xymitiris. In an apartment on Arkadias Street, in Ambelokipi area, the comrade was killed while working on an explosive device and his anarchist comrade Marianna M. was seriously injured.
What happened next is pretty well known when it comes to the state’s witch hunts against anarchists. After comrade Marianna
was taken to Evanggelismos Hospital, all kinds of tactics and torture were used by the cops and the investigating authorities.
Subsequently, anarchist comrade Dimitra Z. and comrade Dimitris are arrested on insufficient evidence. A few days later, anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos and A.K. are also arrested. In fact, the only incriminating evidence against the latter two is a fingerprint on a bag, which is a classic tactic used by the EL.AS.(Greek police) to fabricate charges, since a fingerprint on a mobile object is not reliable evidence.

Taking responsibility for the arson of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food 11/10/25 in Athens. (Greece)
About the arson of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food
EU agricultural subsidies as a tool of capitalist restructuring.
Like every ministry, the Ministry of Rural Development is a mechanism of class domination. Class domination for Greek capitalism in the sector of primary production practically means:
-Privatization of the largest and most fertile part of the agricultural land – and securing through it enormous profits – by a tiny minority of modern landowners closely linked to domestic and international agribusiness monopolies. It is indicative that today 90% of all agricultural land belongs to just 15% of wealthy rich large farmers.
• Eradication of the poor peasantry (from 900,000 in 2005 to 500,000 in 2025) and continuous pressure on their already meager income, through the sharp increase in production costs, the increase in insurance contributions and taxation, the humiliating selling prices of products to wholesalers, the drastic reduction in expenses for compensation for floods, fires, diseases, the suffocation from predatory lending by banks.

Claim of responsibility for arson attack on a riot cop house (Athens,Greece)
Responding to the call of comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta for an October of diverse actions in honour of comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris, in the early hours of Thursday 16/10 we attacked the home of a riot police officer at 1 Georgiou Papandreou Street in Zografou with fire. We chose to honour the anarchist fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris because he was a comrade who participated in diverse actions in the anarchist movement and remained faithful to his ideas until the end.
We believe that such actions continue the legacy of these struggles in which the comrade participated.
Also, this target was chosen because of the attack by the cops on demonstrators on 7/10 during the solidarity march for Palestine and the attack by the cops on 3/10 on people in coffee bars and shops in Kolettis Street and more broadly in the Exarchia neighbourhood.

Goodbye Christaras (Athens,exarxeia Greece)
Goodbye Christaras
Every night passes like a movie where everything we’ve experienced is projected against the backdrop of the square. Every night that passes here I always leave before we’re left alone, I don’t watch the end.
Tuesday, October 7, some more sad news, another day that leaves us frozen, our comrade, our Christaras, our XR, our eternal street fighter, has gone forever.
Comrade Christos Spilios, a native of the metropolitan youth and the rising anarchist movement, found himself on the just side of the barricade since 1990. He participated continuously and with all his being in every form of struggle, from solidarity with political prisoners, almost always Christaras started ”the passion” as in how many photographic snapshots of chained comrades do we remember his fist accompanying their smile. From militant and street anti-fascism, from the struggles for his beloved Exarchia, to the anti-war mobilizations; in the last two years the Palestinian keffiyeh had become an integral part of his body.

Updates news from the antizionist intervention in Exarchia (3/10) | Exarchia antizionist neighborhood (Athens,Greece)
On Friday 3/10, following the call of the Coordination of activity for
the defense of Exarcheia, an anti-Zionist intervention took place in the neighborhood of Exarcheia. More than 100 comrades took part in the intervention, while throughout its course, the body, moving in a march through the streets of Exarcheia, filled the walls and streets with pro-Palestinian/anti-Zionist posters, sprays, stencils and trikes,
distributed texts, while at the same time various interventions were
carried out in hotels and accommodations of Israeli (and non-)
interests.
Exarcheia is not a neighborhood where Zionist discourse is expressed with great ease in the public space, due to the broader political characteristics of Exarcheia and the pro-Palestinian actions of the neighborhood’s assemblies/initiatives. Nevertheless, Israeli capital has settled in the neighborhood mainly through hotels/accommodations. The sharp increase in Israeli real estate and Israeli tourist investments in Greece, centered on the center of Athens, strengthens the economy of the murderous state of Israel, contributing to the resilience of the Israeli
economy. All this at a time when Israel continues to ruthlessly
ethnically cleanse and genocide the Palestinians. At the same time, the existence of Israeli capital in downtown neighborhoods, such as
Exarcheia, seeks to make Exarcheia a safe place, both for Zionists in
general and for the Israelis who actively participate in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Update on Judicial Proceedings for the Evacuation Case of the Squat Behind the School of Chemistry in Thessaloniki (Greece)
The squat at the School of Biology (“To Steki sto Viologiko”)
Squats have always represented breaths of freedom for radical movements, serving as spaces for meeting, political discussion, and the housing of various initiatives. For these reasons, they have always been a thorn in the state’s throat, and thus a frequent target of repression. The Squat at the School of Biology was first occupied in 1987 by students, becoming a new social space for expression. From the very beginning and for the next 34 years, its character and activity were diverse and multifaceted. Groups with different traits and ways of action coexisted within the same space, united by the core values of solidarity and self-organization.Over the years, the space hosted student, theatre, radio, and political initiatives, as well as radical bookstores. It was a venue for countless coffee gatherings, collective cooking, book presentations, film and documentary screenings, Greek language classes for immigrants, self-defense courses, and more. It also became a landmark in Greece’s, and not only Greece’s, DIY music scene.
The squat supported many political and social struggles, including those of students, conscientious objectors to military service, and political prisoners, often raising funds to cover judicial and medical expenses in the spirit of solidarity. Functioning as an active meeting point and forum for discussion in the city, it formed a living cell within the University.

INSURRECTIONS CONTINUE AROUND THE WORLD
29.9.25
Riots have continued to erupt in many countries around the world over the past month, while new countries are entering the cycle of uprisings and clashes with authority, governments and their uniformed protectors.
In France, the clashes between police and demonstrators that erupted in the French capital and many other cities during the strike against the austerity policies proposed by the administration of Emmanuel Macron, continue. After the appeal of the trade unions for a day of demonstrations against budget cuts, over a million workers took to the streets in the greatest mobilization since last year’s battle against the reform of the pension system.
Last week in Manila, capital of the Philippines, clashes between protesters and police broke out when thousands of people took to the streets to protest about one of the most serious corruption scandals in the country in recent years. The rage followed complaints of extensive corruption, the pillaging of the economy and bribes to politicians concerning government infrastructure projects to combat flooding, worth many billions of dollars, which were accompanied by huge scams, greed and political favoritism. The media reported the arrest of over 100 people and the injury of dozens of police officers, while on the internet there were numerous videos showing the violent actions of the police against the protesters.

Έτσι είναι η ζωή! Επικήδειος στον αναρχικό προλετάριο, στον κοινωνικό αγωνιστή, στο αστέρι των Εξαρχείων. Στον σ. Χρήστο Σπήλιο από Άρης Σ.
Έτσι είναι η ζωή! Επικήδειος στον αναρχικό προλετάριο, στον κοινωνικό αγωνιστή, στο αστέρι των Εξαρχείων. Στον σ. Χρήστο Σπήλιο
Έτσι είναι η ζωή Χρήστο όπως έλεγε και ένα τραγούδι που αγαπούσες. Και αυτό της το ‘έτσι’, το σκληρό και το αδυσώπητο, αυτό το ‘έτσι’ που μπορεί να σε πετάξει μια μέρα μπρούμυτα σε ένα βρώμικο κρεβάτι χωρίς πνοή και με τον πόνο χαραγμένο στο πρόσωπο, το γνώριζες καλά φίλε, ήδη από την παιδική σου ηλικία σε εκείνο το φτωχικό υπόγειο των Εξαρχείων που μεγάλωσες.
Ονομάζεται ταξική συνείδηση το να ξέρεις πώς είναι η ζωή, και αυτή ακριβώς η συνείδηση σε έκανε όπως έλεγε κι ένας παλιός επαναστάτης να μετατρέπεις την «απαισιοδοξία της γνώσης σε αισιοδοξία της θέλησης». Με την θέληση αυτή «λεβέντης εροβόλαγες και αητός φτερούγαγες στις στράτες», γεμίζοντας τη ζωή, τον αγώνα, την Αναρχία, τα Εξάρχεια με συνείδηση και συναίσθημα, με στίχους και με τραγούδια, με έρωτα και αγάπη, με τη μέθη του ανθρώπου που ζει «Κάτω από το Ηφαίστειο» –για να θυμηθώ τον τίτλο ενός αγαπημένου σου βιβλίου- και αναζητά τη λάβα για να τον εξαγνίσει.
Στους δύσκολους όσο και ελπιδοφόρους καιρούς που ζούμε η απώλεια του Χρήστου είναι ασφαλώς τεράστια. Γι αυτό και πρέπει να αναπληρωθεί. Η πρώτη ύλη που γεννά Χρήστους βρίσκεται μπόλικη εκεί έξω. Και αν σε τελική ανάλυση σε κάτι μας καλεί η απώλεια του συντρόφου μας, είναι να πάμε αυτήν την πρώτη ύλη να τη βρούμε και να τη γονιμοποιήσουμε, για να γεννηθούν οι Χρήστοι της επόμενης γενιάς!
Ψηλά τις σημαίες του αγώνα!
Για τον αναρχικό προλετάριο, τον κοινωνικό αγωνιστή, το αστέρι των Εξαρχείων!
Τον Χρήστο μας!

Athens,Greece: Intervention in Solidarity with anti-fascist Maja – the oppressed youth will always resist!
UPDATE: The comrades were detained outside of the embassy
During attacks on neo-Nazis on the “Day of Honor” in Budapest on February 23, 2023, several European anti-fascists were arrested and an international manhunt was launched for others. Among them was Maja T.,a young anti-fascist from Jena, Germany, who was arrested in Germany on December 11 and illegally extradited to Hungary on June 28, 2024. After almost a year of cruel solitary confinement in Budapest, Maja, went on hunger strike on June 5, 2025, with the aim to be transfered back to Germany.
“This is happening because I am being subjected to continuous long-term solitary confinement, which means less than 30 minutes of human contact per day – for over 200 days. It is a pre-trial detention in which I am not allowed to study or work, in which I have not been given enough books, the vitamin supplements I need, or timely doctor’s appointments, and in which there is a lack of sufficient daylight and healthy food. I was handed over to a prison that imposes humiliating and degrading security measures for which there is still no justification or explanation. When asked, they remain silent, and so I had to wear handcuffs even in my cell, during official visits, or Skype calls.I have now been forced by several dozen people to undress naked in front of them, but I still didn’t dare to change in my cell out of shame, as there was a camera illegally installed there for three months. What remains to this day are the bedbugs and cockroaches, as well as the light from the hourly checks, which robs me of my sleep at night.”
