Support economically and politically the 4 anarchists comrades in pre-trial detention. No one alone against the state! International revolutionary solidarity! (Greece)

Financial support of the four comrades in pre-trial detention
https://www.firefund.net/4pretrial

The following text is the political view of the Assembly in Solidarity with the four comrades in pre-trial detention Fotis D., Jason R., Lambros V. and Panagiotis V.

On November 14th, 2021 an unmarked police vehicle rammed into the comrades Fotis D. and Jason R. as they were in motion and then they were taken to the General Police Department of Attica. There, the uniformed garbage of the Greek Police proceeded to mandatory fingerprinting and DNA sampling, in order to link them to the attack on the Piraeus traffic police on the same night. In a process that took only half a day, they raided their homes, making sure to plant incriminating evidence, thus building a weak case against them. At the same time, the media indulged in their usual vile role, talking about homes being bomb and explosives manufacturing facilities, in an attempt to normalise the new criminal code in the public mind (which upgrades the possession and use of Molotov cocktails to a felony). It is worth noting, that the code came into force the day before their arrest. For the millionth time, the fabrication of guilty people by the media, has socially reinforced the prosecution’s argument and created the appropriate ground for the pre-trial detention of our two comrades, who have been held captive for 15 months in the Korydallos and Avlona hellholes.

With the trial date not being set and the case file still open, the interrogator had room to implicate more people. Following a prosecution conducted by the interrogator, on Tuesday morning 20/9, state cops accompanied by a prosecutor, stormed into the house of comrades Panagiotis V. and Lambros V. The comrades were arrested and detained in GADA, where for several hours the reasons for their detention were not known and they were not given the right to communicate with their lawyers or their close ones. The next day, they were tried by the Single-Member Plenary Court in Evelpidon for violation of the weapons law and were later released.

Athens, Greece: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE HUNGER STRIKER ALFREDO COSPITO By Anarchists

Athens: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE HUNGER STRIKER ALFREDO COSPITO

In 2014 the anarchist Alfredo Cospito was sentenced to 10 years and 8 months in prison because at his trial for shooting the manager of a nuclear plant in the legs he did not make any statements of repentance, but instead defended his action, an action “against the doctrine of technology” according to his words. In 2016 and already in custody, he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, accused of a bomb attack on a carabinieri school in Fossano in 2006.Since 5 May 2022 he has been in solitary confinement (41bis) as part of changes to the Italian penitentiary code.

This regime imposes a reduction of the prisoners’ exercise period to one hour a day and visits with relatives to one hour a month, as well as restrictions on correspondence and reading material. In these ways it forces the prisoners into complete social isolation. Similarly, with the re-establishment of C-type prisons, the amendments to 187 and 187A, the increase of the minimum sentence to 4/5 from 3/5, the frequent DNA-based prosecutions and other amendments to the Sofronist code, it is clear that the treatment of the comrade Cospito is not so far from the standards of the Greek State. Besides, the cooperation between the two States is complemented by their economic support for each other. Of course, despite the apparent differences between them (with the image of the Greek State as more progressive and the Italian State as more conservative), it is obvious that the counter-revolutionary policy is the same regardless of the regime and government.

Athens, Greece: Expropriation of products in My Market in Patisia area.

Athens: Expropriation of products in My Market in Patisia area

Precision pricing is one of the most recent manifestations of class violence unleashed by the State and the bosses on those below. The already unaffordable prices of basic goods for some have been inflated through location, resulting in privilege for the haves over the have-nots. With capital striding on the backs of the social base, further impoverishing it, and the State being the institutional guardian of capitalist restructuring and repression, taking our lives into our own hands is the only solution. We will not divide our needs into basic and non-basic, we will not step back on what belongs to us, we will fight side by side until the final elimination of the State and classes.

In the context of the ongoing mobilizations against precision pricing, revaluations and the overall devaluation of our lives, on Saturday 4/2 an intervention was held by about 25 comrades in My Market in the area of Gravas in Patisia. Various kinds of products were expropriated and after the end of the intervention they were distributed to the people who were in the street market near the supermarket.

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for attacks against fascists by Anarchists

Athens: Taking responsibility for attacks against fascists.

In a prolonged period of ongoing crises, impoverishment and general class devaluation, the re-emergence of fascists in the public sphere is a reality that we have to face once again. After a brief ‘withdrawal’ from the public sphere as a result of hard-fought battles by the multiform anti-fascist movement and the subsequent State rollback (see the trial of golden down neo-nazis), various far-right and fascist groups are attempting to regroup, to declare their presence on city walls and in the neighbourhoods and take to the streets. A movement that is culminating as we approach the elections. In fact, the recent event of the stabbing of an antifascist comrade after an anti-fascist march in Kallithea, shows an upsurge in their activity that must be relentlessly crushed in its infancy.

The new “Greeks” party of Kasidiaris, number 2 in the hierarchy of the old HA, having rallied a potential that ranges from far-right cadres, adventurers and careerists, to the “traditional” Nazis – remnants of the weakened mother-organization, is attempting to imprint the far right-nationalist swamp electorally and claim its entry into the Parliament, with all that this implies. On the other hand, the government of New Democracy, for electoral reasons, to cut off the leakage to the right and to “cleanse” itself of its own far-right policies and cadres, is choosing to pass a law to block the entry of Kasidiaris’ party in the upcoming elections.

Athens, Greece: INCENDIARY ATTACK ON THE HOUSE OF RETIRED COPS by Andreas Baader Cell

Athens: INCENDIARY ATTACK ON THE HOUSE OF RETIRED COPS.

We take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the house of retired cop Fotis Theodoros in Kaisariani Aarea, at 5 Manoliassas Street. We were very pleased to learn in the days that followed that a second retired cop lived in the same building.

The reason for this attack was the State murder of Kostas Fragoulis by the uniformed garbage of the DIAS cops team. Once again, the agents of the State apparatus murder in cold blood, but this time, as last year with Nikos Sabanis, race became the main issue in the political and social arena. As anarchists we do not need to analyse our position, it is clear. But we ought to recall that this is not a random incident but a manifestation of the wider war that is being waged doggedly by the State and capitalism against the oppressed of this world and especially against those who dare to question their sovereignty. We are taking a stand in this war and declare that we will walk through your homes and over your dead bodies.

It is not fitting for the flame of a candle to be lit over a young grave, whole States should be in flames. C.C.F. (for the murder of A. Grigoropoulos)

Athens: Feedback from the solidarity meeting with comrade hunger striker Alfredo Cospito, at the Italian Embassy in Athens (Greece) [16/2] Sempre con l’anarchia!

The only enemy is the state and capitalism

On Thursday 16 February, a solidarity meeting was held with the anarchist hunger striker from 20/10 against 41-bis and perpetual life imprisonment, Alfredo Cospito, as a signal of internationalist solidarity from Athens. The rally crossed the sidewalk of the Italian embassy, although the cops told us to stay on the opposite sidewalk. We then left in an assembled fashion and opened banners at Syntagma, opposite the parliament, before leaving.

On the same day (February 16), while the struggle against the Penal Code in Greek prisons continues, anarchists and militant prisoners started a collective hunger strike with whatever strength each one has individually, to stand mentally by the side of the anarchist Alfredo Cospito and against the regime-grave of 41-bis (G. Michailidis, Th. Hatzianggelou, I. Rodopoulos, L. Vougiouklakis, P. Vougiouklakis, F. Daskalas, S. Nikolouzos and S. Kalaitzidis went on one day of hunger strike, and D. Hatzivassiliadis and K. Dimalexis went on three days of hunger strike).

Athens, Greece: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INCENDIARY ATTACK ON A CAR DEALERSHIP by Carnivalists of fire

Athens: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INCENDIARY ATTACK ON A CAR DEALERSHIP

“Fortune knows that we defy it, and the more it beats us, the more we despise it.” William Shakespeare

In a few months, as we all know, the four-year rule of new democracy with Kyriakos Mitsotakis as prime minister will come to its “happy” end. Before the government even started, it promised many times that (like another Papadopoulos  (dictator leader on 70s) it would ”crack down on anarchy” thus declaring open war on all anarchist-revolutionary-rebellious parts of society.

After 4 years of evictions of squats, bans on strikes and marches, State murders, extreme repression and imprisonment of innocent but proudly ‘guilty’ comrades, we are still here. Although we have had some resounding disappointments and defeats (let us not hide behind our finger) we proudly declare that the anarchist revolutionary movement has not fallen and will never fall without a fight. And that is the only way we ought to look to the continuation of our struggle. For unlike theirs our way has no end. Our road is eternal, etched with the blood of those who sacrificed for Anarchy and Freedom and carved in the footsteps of fire.

That is why we are taking responsibility for the incendiary attack on a car dealership in Kallithea at dawn on 12/2, which, make no mistake, was not for extortion or for blackmail, as the media declared the next day, but as a small blow to the image of normality, security and social peace that prevails in Greek society. We dedicate this attack to all our comrades who, unrepentantly and without fear, still look the enemy in the eye and take it on. Because the ruins of a ‘beautiful’ delegation that tries to cover up the vulgarity of society will always fill us with satisfaction.

Financial support for the surgical expenses of an anarchist comrade (Athens-Greece)

Financial support for the surgical expenses of an anarchist comrade.

Dear comrades

The Solidarity Fund for imprisoned, persecuted revolutionaries (Tameio), has been trying to obtain, since being established in 2010, a regular and consistent political, moral and material support to the political prisoners and imprisoned fighters. Alongside, it has also actively aided with legal expenses and bails of persecuted comrades and it supported prison struggles. Solidarity, as a crucial political act, is extended to include comrades who need our active support.

With respect to this, we would like to inform you about the firefund that has been created by a group of comrades from Athens for the financial support of an anarchist comrade who faces substantial medical expenses, needing to promptly have a costly surgery.

About the murder of Kostas Fragoulis (Athens,Greece)

About the murder of Kostas Fragoulis

On 13/12 it was announced that Rom Costas Fragoulis is now dead. On5/12, after 16 year old Kostas refused to pay 20 euros for petrol, he was chased by DIAS cops, who shot him with 2 bullets in the head. Before we even knew about his final state of health and while the family wasn’t receiving any information either, the cop killers were already set free.

This murder unfortunately does not catch off guard, as we do not forget the murder of another Rom, Nikos Sambanis in October 21 with 38 bullets in the back of the head, where once again the killers were pampered by the bourgeois “justice”.

Roma communities vehemently refuse to adapt to the norms created by Greek capitalism. And rightly so! In any case, the only “efforts” of the state to include them in the social fabric and remove their marginalization are to fit them into its molds, to “civilize” them and use them as cheap labor, as it does with all social groups that do not conform to the dominant model. When it has no need for this, it feeds their ignorance in a whole host of ways, culminating in the murder of a child for which it will not budge.

The message “whoever can’t adapt, dies” is now clear from the state’s side and is being transmitted every day. Whether it is the daily oppression and ghettoisation, the criminalization of the Roma, or the shooting of the Roma, Greek society has been educated in the narrative that the Roma are less than human and therefore deserve all this. That’s why we see people applauding the cops who killed Kostas, just like they did in the case of Sambanis. That’s why the Roma communities have taken the whole struggle for vindication on their backs; and one shouldn’t have to wonder how and why.

Attack Against the Home of the Former Director of the Elaionas Migrant Concentration Camp in Greece

Vandalism of the home of M.D. Nioutsikou, former administrator of the Elaionas migrant concentration camp

WHO IS SHE?

Maria-Dimetra Nioutsikou was appointed as the temporary administrator of the Elaionas immigration camp in order to carry out the plans of the Municipality of Athens for the closure of the camp and its conversion into a new stadium for Panathinaikos (Greek football club). This means displacing thousands of people outside the city and imprisoning them in concentration camps in the middle of nowhere. The choice of Nioutsikou to carry out Bakoyannis’ (Kostas Bakoyannis – Mayor of Athens) violent plans was no accident as she has a rich resume of repression and crushing the lives of immigrants and migrants. We do not forget when, as the administrator of the Samos camp, she tortured and psychologically and physically abused minor children who had participated in protests about the conditions in the hellhole, leading some of them to commit suicide. She also used the tactic of psychological torture in the Elaionas camp where she used documents to blackmail the migrants fighting against the eviction.
