Join the “All eyes on Rafah” call
On Saturday 02 March we participated in the “All eyes on Rafah” call, in the context of the nationwide mobilizations in solidarity with Palestine, against the military operations of the Israeli state.
In the early hours of Sunday 3/3/23 we invaded the ‘game farms’ of Vassiliadis and Kavouras in Megara (city near Athens). In the first we took down the wild boar fence and in the second we opened the doors of the deer cage.
We deny the role of ‘liberator’ and consider that we have simply done our minimal duty as solidarity towards these captive beings: We have given them a chance to live.
Good luck to all of them and bad luck to those who think of them as food.
Words are nothing, actions are everything and only by them are we judged.
Until next time…

No matter how many years pass, the comrade Lambros, is a bright example for the continuation of the struggle and the revolutionary perspective. The 10th of March has been indelibly written in the history of internal as well as international revolutionary and class struggle. His life, action and death are – for the anarchist/anti-authoritarian and the more broadly anti-capitalist space – a precious legacy that inspires old and new generations of comrades alike. Lambros is one of us, he is always in our heart and in our actions.

EXARCHEIA ALWAYS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF PALESTINE TO FREEDOM
Always on the right side of history, on the side of social struggles, class solidarity, internationalism, on the side of the workers, the immigrants, the excluded, the fighters. Also yesterday Exarcheia shouted what has been one of its components of their political identity for decades: their solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance. Both for the movement of solidarity with the Palestinian people, and for the movement to defend Exarcheia from the encroachment of capital and the State, yesterday’s demonstration, called by the Assembly of Solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance, was undoubtedly important. The first was grounded – even more deeply – with Exarcheia, the second was coordinated – even more – with the solidarity movements in Palestine, a composition that politically strengthens both and can and must continue.
The demonstration started at 8, after an hour’s gathering at the intersection of Kallidromiou st. with Emm. Benaki st., where a microphone was set up from which texts in Arabic and Greek were read, while Palestinian music was played. Filled with emotion, consciousness and love for Exarcheia and for Palestine and with mass participation with a strong Palestinian element, the demonstration marched through the streets of Exarcheia, passed through the occupied Square, preventing with its pulse and determination the lurking forces of repression from attempting to block her, to end at Alexis’s monument in a climate of competitive elevation.

Athens, Greece: For smashing Polyamorous on 10/2/2024
In Exarcheia – for decades now, but with particular intensity in recent years – a war is being waged on the part of the state.
A neighbourhood inhabited for many years largely by proletarians, immigrants, women activists, students and youth, a neighbourhood that has always been the “centre” of all kinds of radical movements, has long been part of a coordinated and centrally planned operation of aggressive and violent mutation. The Greek state has invested a lot in achieving a double goal: on the one hand, in handing over to capital – big and small – an important piece of the metropolitan centre for profitable investments mainly in the field of real estate, tourism and the entertainment industry that always connects this kind of “development” and, on the other hand, the all-out attack on the world and the structures of the movement that for decades have arisen, rooted in the neighbourhood of Exarcheia, with the aim of closing its historical accounts with the internal enemy in the heart of the city.
On Sunday, February 25, we, comrades, carried out an intervention in the city of Corinth, specifically in university buildings, wanting to send a minimal message of solidarity to the students in struggle.
The authoritarianism of the neo-liberal government of the ND is endless. The privatization of universities is in its sights as far as the fields are concerned after the abolition of asylum and the attempt to establish university police. Yet another clearly classist bill that will literally strangle free children at the altar of unstoppable capitalist profit. University education, therefore, for the few and the good.

Today, on Sunday 25/02/24, another beautiful and proud day dawned upon Heraklion. We cancelled the visit of the leader of the party “Spartans” (that is, the Golden Dawn by another name) to the metropolitan church of St. Minas in Heraklion.
Exarchia: A fierce attack with dozens of cocktail Molotov’s against the MAT riot cops took place at the junction of Themistokleous and Tzavella streets, in Exarchia square, late on the evening of Saturday, February 17, 2024, in the most policed neighborhood of Athens, with dozens of cops stationed 24 hours a day like a peculiar army occupation, since August 9, 2022, when the only square in the neighborhood was fenced off with sheets to build the subway metro construction site>
In the continuous advance of educational restructuring in Greece over recent years, domestic and international bosses have found fertile ground for profit in the name of education and higher education, which, based on European standards, is rapidly moving towards its transformation into another commercial product. From tuition fees in postgraduate courses and mandatory private contractors within the social welfare of the state universities (cooking, cleaning), the managers and sponsoring companies, the businesses on the campuses (Coffee island being a shocking example in the city of Patras) capital is flowing into the areas of what was once asylum, as it tries to go with the policy of privatization in all areas of life.
Within this condition, we do not find it surprising that both in Patras and other cities, they have found fertile ground for the private interests of IEK and colleges to flourish, for which the circumvention of Article 16 through the “free university” bill is the ideal condition for upgrading the degrees they provide to a level equal to that of public universities, leading to a subsequent degradation of public ones as they will not be able to compete with the private ones, leading them either to closure or to the path of commercialization, raising even greater class barriers in accessibility to higher education and literacy.

The work of the judicial officials is clearly aimed at torturing and impoverishing all prisoners and in general all those who unfortunately have to face their fate.
Attack on a hotel with Israeli interests by Anarchists for the victory of the Palestinian resistance
On the evening of January 5th, we chose to target the Bob W Akadimia Athens in the Exarcheia area at 4 Zalongou Street, a hotel with Israeli interests. This action was obviously carried out to support the resistance in Palestine against the murderous state of Israel and to target Israeli capital in our country, but a reason could not exist here without taking into account the gentrification of this particular neighbourhood and the tourism in it aimed at bending the resistance that Exarcheia has had as its roots for many decades. Through gentrification, the neighbourhood is aimed at becoming a middle-class amusement park and ultimately at changing its class status, driving out the residents and activists who live and operate in it.
As far as the Palestinian question is concerned, we understand our obligation to act from our own position and place.
KOMOTINI: VIDEO From the march of defense of Anarchist Steki Utopia A.D.
On Saturday 10/02, a march was held in defense of the Anarchist Steki Utopia AD. The march went through main streets and pedestrian streets with a strong pulse, ending up outside the vacated occupation where the next moves were discussed.
The march was supported by solidarity students as well as comrades from the city of Alexandroupoli.

Update from the Defense Actions of the Evacuated Anarchist Steki Utopia AD
February 8, 2024
A few hours after today’s evacuation of the Utopia AD Anarchist Steki, an open assembly was held in which a multitude of solidarity people were informed about the situation. As a first movement, a reflective march of 60 people poured into the city center, with a strong pulse and writing slogans. It should be noted that although the university security guards were instructed to call the police, the presence of police forces was non-existent throughout the protests.
The march ended outside the vacated hangout, where the next moves were discussed. We believe that the evacuation of the place is a continuation of the state attack on the occupied law school and the bringing in of 18 students, of which 12 turned into arrests. The main people responsible for the repressive operations are the rector Fotis Maris and the dean of the law school, Michalis Chrysomallis. Neither of them, however, has so far taken responsibility for the organization of the above actions.
We, on the one hand, call on the rector’s authority, if it has a trace of dignity, to stop shifting its responsibilities elsewhere, on the other hand, we assure that we will not choose the path of silence

Paint against a company that does projects for borders

The Greek state has completely systematized racism. The institutional form of racism dominates the public sphere in ways and practices fed by a particular audience. Thus racism is adopted by states and unfolds through their institutions. Even fascist practices that have always run parallel with the state are being so faithfully implemented by the latter in many cases that even fascist groups are taking on new forms.
Institutionalized violence against migrants includes concentration camps, border killings, pushbacks, asymmetric border “wars” (such as the Evros border). Racism and xenophobia are not just current phenomena, but have existed in the Greek state for many decades. Nevertheless, as we see globally, the intensity of the war against immigrants has intensified and deepened. On the one hand, labour needs are changing compared to other decades, but on the other, having broken whatever social contract that may have existed in the past, states are present to provide repression, policing and national ideology.

Today, Monday, February 5. 2024, 16 months after their installation on the Hill, from the morning TOMI AVETE workers have been collecting the last of their rubble and removing the sheet metal from the construction site in the area of Byzantinos, opposite the theatre. TOMI ABETE is a subsidiary of AKTOR, the company that took over the subcontract from PRODEA for the regeneration of the Hill.
After 16 months of destruction and 3 years of struggle, the reconstruction workers are finally leaving, the cops have gone and Lofos is freed and the capital that they threatened to level.
PRODEA IS LEAVING THE HILL, STREFI’S HILL WILL STAY FREE AND WILD.
