Athens,Greece:Taking responsibility for a vicious inflammatory attack 24/9/23 on Eurobank in Athens by Anarchists

Taking responsibility for a vicious inflammatory attack on Eurobank in Athens by Anarchists

Every day power reveals its true face to us, oppressing and plundering our lives. So, in response, in the early hours of Sunday 24/9/2023 we carried out a simultaneous, disruptive and incendiary attack on a Eurobank branch on Evelpidon Street.

Technological sophistication and the militarization of urban tissues have formed a grid of generalized surveillance and monitoring of our movements. Security systems, continuous patrols, constant forces of ELAS officers, (Greek police)targeting and incessant surveillance are the methods through which power is unleashed.

Another method, which intensifies the regime of technological autocracy, is also the new identity cards which include fingerprints and precise biometric data, thus constituting another arrow in the system’s quiver.

Text of Anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis on the struggle for his release (Greece)

Position of Giannis Michailidis on the struggle for his release

Introduction

As I enjoy my freedom again, won through my second hunger and thirst strike, I reflect on the complex historical mosaic that not only shaped my personal choices but also wove the collective struggle against the state-capitalism complex. Far from being solitary acts of assertion, the hunger strikes were instead part of the social antagonism within the complex dynamics taking shape in Greece and the global landscape as the assault of the dominant powers deepens.

The backdrop in which these hunger strikes unfolded is characterised by profound global challenges, where the grip of capitalism has led to an alarming concentration of wealth and therefore power in the hands of a select few. Meanwhile, the vast majority of humanity lives in extreme poverty, crushed by the burden of industrial production and the relentless pursuit of profit by corporations. At the same time, the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources has brought the planet dangerously close to the brink of irreversible climate change and has caused an unprecedented mass extinction of species.

In this web of power, States, whether Western or Eastern, impose their power by claiming a monopoly of violence. They blatantly wipe out entire populations with state-of-the-art weapons of mass destruction or use more subtle tactics, such as weaponizing hunger by systematically dismantling vital infrastructure in conflict-ridden areas. The world is on the brink of collapse because of nuclear arsenals ready to wipe it out in an instant. Stripping away the harsh reality, the real agents of terror are revealed – the States. In these circumstances, as I reflect on the battle for my personal freedom, I recognise its connection with the wider struggle from which my prolonged imprisonment had temporarily distanced me.

Bure: Solidarity with the evicted squats in Athens and Montreuil (Paris)

From the self-organised camp of meeting and struggles in Bure in the northeast of France we send a small sign of solidarity to our comrades from the evicted squats in Athens and Paris.

Here in Bure a local struggle is taking place for the last 30 years against the plans of the French state and the Andra company to install a burial unit oc nuclear waste. In the context of this struggle a 10 day camp was organised for individuals and teams from all over the world who struggle against the pillage of nature and build collective/self-organised structures in the countryside to meet. More infos about this struggle and the camp here:https://bureburebure.info/https://lpr-camp.org/

Athens,Greece: ZIZANIA squatted social center in Viktoria and Ano Kato squatted steki in Patissia have been evicted,and some symbolic actions round Europe.

Update 25/8/23/, Cops are currently evicting Zizania squatted social center. We will update soon with plans for solidarity and resistance.

update 29/8/23, Cops are now putting sheet metal on the windows of Zizania. There are OPKE cops at the door.

We call for an immediate gathering at the corner of Feron and Aristotelous.

25/8/23 , ZIZANIA squatted social center in Viktoria and Ano Kato squated steki in Patissia have been evicted.

Zizania is a squatted social center that opened in early April 2021, during the second lock-down and shortly after the events of Nea Smyrni. In this context, we chose to open a squat in Viktoria– having in mind the hard repression that hit the squatting movement over the last years, the huge loss of organising spaces, the policing and privatisation of public spaces, and the marginalisation of the area of Viktoria and its struggles. We chose to squat this specific building both for its central location and its 30 year old history of being a self-organized space(with breaks) in this neighborhood of the marginalised, the left aside,the undesirable.

Viktoria is where we live, where we met, and in different ways became part of the area’s constant struggles. It’s a neighborhood of the marginalized— migrants, queer people, sex workers, drug users, poor people, and those the state and society pushes to the outside. It is created and maintained by racist police checks, fascist attacks, sexist harassment, forced social isolation, and deep housing precarity while replicating Greece’s external borders in its criminalisation of people of color through barriers to healthcare, documents, work and education.

Athens,Greece: symbolically attacked, throwing paint at the ANEGERSIS CONSTRUCTION companyby anarchists

Back off snitches, forward comrades, by anarchists

We are in a period where in the last few months alone there have been State and capitalist murders, along with the plundering of nature to serve various interests and additional restrictions and surveillance. Issues which certainly cannot leave us indifferent.

The Tempi accident, the forest fires, the murder of hundreds of migrants at the borders (see the shipwreck off Pylos), the labour “accidents” are some of the events that have taken place. Others have been “announced”, carried out and are being launched even more intensely, such as evictions, iron cladding of parks and squares (such as Park Drakopoulou, following on from Exarcheia, various squares concerning the metro, etc.), privatisations, curfews for the city’s few parks, and of course the eviction of self-managed spaces and the intensifying attack on the people of the struggle. These are the conditions we have to face.
Within this context, there have been two “rounds” of elections in which the New Democracy party won and is still in government. Thus, the state has continuity and “commitments” that continue. Repression, cops, bans, individual responsibility are the tools of the state to manage any “crisis”.

SYMBOLIC SABOTAGE AGAINST THE PLUNDER OF NATURE

We decided once again to make a symbolic gesture and throw a wind mast in the Laka batheti deep position next to the Motsara peak of the helicon. We note that this installation is added to a series of about 50 wind turbines (some of them can be seen in the video).

The seas are full of migrants’ bodies

On 14/6 a fishing boat carrying hundreds of migrants sank off Pylos, most of whom drowned in the sea. A few hours later, the civilian co-operator started to blame the shipwreck. However, we know who is solely responsible. This mass murder bears the stamp and signature of the Greek state, which for several years now has made repatriation, xenophobia, racism, dehumanisation and death politics its flag, regardless of who administers it.

The participants in this crime are a bunch of housecitizens who are not bothered by the hundreds of corpses washed up by the much-publicised sea of the Greek tourist industry. Instead they call for blood every time they hear of poor devils crossing the Greek border. But let those who dream of murders and corpses of immigrants understand that the fascism and conservatisation of society is a phenomenon that not only turns against everything that is considered foreign and different, but instead flattens every aspect of everyday life.

Athens, Greece – For the explosion in Haidari at the house of the chief prison guard at Korydallos prison.

Athens, For the explosion in the area of Haidari at the house of the chief prison guard at Korydallos prison

At the present time it is obvious that the right-wing government has as its primary goal a barbarous attitude for the benefit of the few and against the many marginal social groups. The police regime is growing, the repressive mechanisms are getting stronger and stronger. Cops shoot and kill without any consequence, cops invade universities.

The slightest dissenting opinion is immediately attacked and silenced by the state of difference and decadence.With this in mind, this whole repressive mentality has also been passed behind the walls. Any form of protest and assertion of the self-evident needs of the prisoners finds “walls raised” and is immediately attacked by the scoundrels and their courtiers who run the prisons. The humans guard in question, Dionisis Tsirgiotis.

Greece, City of Patras : Taking responsibility for the attack on the French Consulate by Anarchist cell “Vassilis Maggos”.

Greece, City of Patras : Taking responsibility for the attack on the French Consulate

From France to Greece… the flame of social revolt is their nightmare!

On the evening of Thursday 6th July we attacked the French Consulate in Patras while it was being guarded by police forces. A group of comrades moved under the nose of the police guard, which was on the spot with a cage set up to prevent an attack on the consulate, and threw bottles of red paint at it. The police forces were right in front of the building and when we appeared we pushed them away; as a result they ran and “calmly” hid behind the cage, in the words of their president.

Our action is dedicated to 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk who was murdered in cold blood on June 27 by the uniformed dogs of the French state and the other boy murdered in the social uprising that is shaking France. It is also a signal of internationalist solidarity with our class brothers and sisters who are rebelling in France and experiencing the violence of the state.

PANHELLENIC DAY OF ACTION AGAINST THE MURDER OF MIGRANTS AT PYLOS THURSDAY 13 JULY 19:00 ATHENS GATHERING OMONOIA

DEMO TOWARDS SYNTAGMA AND EU OFFICES

On Wednesday 14/6/2023, off the coast of Pylos, a fishing boat capsized, resulting in the death of more than 600 people. Testimonies of surviving migrants speak of hundreds of women and children trapped in the holds of the fishing boat. The involvement of the Greek Coast Guard in the sinking of the vessel was immediate: not only they did not rescue the passengers when the vessel was already in danger, but according to the compelling testimonies of the survivors, the sinking occurred when the coastguards towed the vessel at high speed using a rope. With complete ignorance of the human lives, the coastguard was a spectator from a distance to the drowning of hundreds of people, launching the rescue operation after 2 full hours.

After the 104 survivors were brought to the shore, the police confiscated 40 survivors’ mobile phones that were in the Kalamata hospital and replaced them, so that the evidence of the Greek coastguard’s responsibility for the sinking of the ship would disappear. According to the survivors, the phones were working and several of them have a recording of the entire trip, including the murderous intervention of the coast guard. Of the 104 survivors of the deadly shipwreck, 9 Egyptians are accused of being traffickers and were taken in an emergency and undercover situation to Nafplion prison It is common practice after the arrival of each ship to select people randomly, and charge them with the above-mentioned charges, in order to criminalize the immigration itself. The remaining migrants, scarred by the traumatic experience, were transferred to the closed camp-prison Malakasa 2. They have no access to decent medical care, legal representation, interpretation and psychological support. They, also, cannot be informed about the situation of their relatives and friends who are missing or are in hospital after the shipwreck, which exacerbates their psychological situation. Pylos was not an accident but a mass murder by the Greek state and the EU!

We take responsibility for the attack with an incendiary device with gaseous explosives at the EFKA building in Zografou by Anarchist Attack Group. (Athens,Greece)

We take responsibility for the attack with an incendiary device with gaseous explosives at the EFKA (Health center of Zografou ) building in Zografou area which resulted in damage to a State vehicle of EFKA as well as to the building.

We would like to begin by emphasizing that we do not intend this text to speak more than our action. An attack on the State, on an institution we think speaks for itself. Let these few words be a necessary companion and political defence of the flame of our attack.

We have chosen this target as it is a State institution created by the former Minister of Labour Hatzidakis and now under the authority of this ministry, and responsible for pensions, insurances and labour insurance. In other words, everything that constitutes modern capitalist Christianity. To put it more simply. I have worked for 40 years hoping for a pension to ”live my life” as it comes, and if, and with as much money as the government of the day decides. We even know that this particular body has deliberately delayed the payment of thousands of pensions. But we are not here to beg the State to give the pensions to the ‘poor people’ who have forcefully made sure that they have re-elected their oppressors. We are here to remind the State that any attack on the lower economic strata will involve an attack on itself.

claim for the barrage of incendiary attacks by “Nael M.” Incendiary Initiative (City of Patras ,Greece)

In the early morning hours of Friday 30/06/23 we carried out incendiary attacks on vans belonging to the companies “Kotsovolos” and “Ena”. Companies like these and many other capitalist companies are pillars of the capitalist system.

They are places where workers are exploited and exploited by the bosses. All these supply and non-supply chain giants have in recent years been generating frighteningly large excess profits through obscenity and the fleecing of workers. The anti-labour laws of the last few years combined with the lockdown in the midst of a pandemic (a period of time when large businesses remained open on the backs of the workers) is proof of the advantage the big bosses have over the state.
