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.

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.
