Taking responsibility for the attack at the Tax Office of Maroussi area on 07/072022

On 07/07/2022 at 04.00 we carried out a symbolic attack with two kilos of explosive material at the Tax Office of Maroussi in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis.

The reasons for the hunger strike should already be known nationally. However, there is silence on this issue too, with very few reports. The fact is that any “opposition” and “journalism” follows orders and keeps agreements, reaching a new level in recent years with the deliberate concealment of facts or their distortion. The omerta that prevails in public discourse is, on the one hand, a prerequisite for dealing harshly with the hunger striker and, on the other hand, forces us to upgrade our means.

Greece: Freedom to G. Michailidis – Start of hunger strike of prisoner D. Hatzivassiliadis

The imprisoned comrade Dimitris Hatzivassiliadis started a hunger strike today in solidarity with the hunger striker Giannis Michailidis. The anarchist G. Michailidis has been on hunger strike since 23/5 to demand his rightful release from prison. He is already in his 51st day with the risk of permanent damage to his health. In this circumstance, the judicial authorities are prolonging the torture of Giannis since, to date, the prosecutor has not made any recommendation on the hunger striker’s demands.

URGENT: Prosecutor’s proposal to the council for the release of G. Michailidis (Greece)

URGENT: Prosecutor’s proposal to the council for the release of G. Michailidis

Today, Wednesday 6/7, the prosecutor’s proposal for the release of the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis, who has been on hunger strike since 23/5, was submitted to the council. The prosecutor’s proposal was rejected, so it now remains for the council to meet at an unspecified time.

There is no doubt. The judiciary is torturing and attempting to completely exterminate our comrade. Giannis has been entitled to his release for months now, as he fulfils the formal conditions, but he is being held “preventively” as a prisoner because the bastards of the state-judicial complex consider that “there is a risk that he will commit new offences”. They now want to cause irreparable damage to the striker’s health, with irreparable problems that will accompany him for the rest of his life.

We have no illusions. The justice system that has released murderers and rapists (Ep. Korkoneas, P. Filippides, Ath. Hortarias, Leventis) in the last few days is class-based. It is the voice of the state and capitalist society, which fears people like Giannis, because in their faces they carry the dignity and intransigence of a man who struggles and always keeps his head high. In their faces they carry the prospect of the revolutionary overthrow of the world of wage slavery and power.

We remain wholeheartedly on the side of our comrade to the end.

GIANNIS STRENGTH TILL FREEDOM

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim by Anarchists for the attack on the YMET cops in solidarity with hunger striker G. Michailidis

In the evening of 02/07 a group of comrades moved towards the building of YMET with the aim of attacking with stones and Molotov cocktails. At the same time, other comrades were setting up barricades outside the campus gate. After the attack and clashes with the cops guarding the building, a total of more than a hundred comrades lined the barricades.

Despite the widespread and murderous chemical firing, people stood their ground and the formations continued for about an hour, resulting in injuries to riot cops.

Zografou, Athens, Greece: Molotov Attack on local cop station and riot outside Zografou university campus in solidarity with Giannis Michailidis

Several hundred (not 50 like the media report) hooded in groups attack the MAT riot cops at the local cop station just round the corner from the Zorgrafou university campus, where there is also a 3 day Anti-Racist Festival occuring with Hip Hop live.

The attack on the cops sparks a 2 hour battle with the cops at the entrance to the campus, in which burning tyre barricades, fire extinguishers, a rain of stones and wave after wave of molotov attacks are inflicted on the state murderers in uniform. The riot only stops after a continous assault by the cops with not only CS gas but the internationally banned CN gas that burns skin.

Athens, Greece: The 2nd march in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis

On Thursday 30 June, the Assembly of Solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis called for the “3rd Panhellenic Day of Action and Solidarity for Giannis Michailidis”. In Athens the second central march took place, which started from Propylaea, passed through Omonia, reached Syntagma and ended again at Propylaea.

It numbered about 600 people, and was supported by several organisations and collectives. The police presence was again strong, with riot police cordoned off left and right to the end. Their attitude in this particular march was more provocative and abusive. However, the march was completed as normal.

Athens,Greece : CLAIM OF THE ATTACK ON THE OBA STORE.

On the night of May Day we chose to attack the new store in the Exarchia area, at 45 Themistokleous Street, called OBA. We broke its storefront and left the political message of our action with stickers saying that since the opening of this store the homeless person who lived in front of its storefront was displaced.

This action was our response to the displacement of the homeless person who had resided for years in the arcades in front of that store and who, after its opening, was forced to seek shelter in another corner of the neighborhood.

How the surplus is displaced to make way for urban and middle class shoppers is also demonstrated by the fact that on the opposite side of the store we attacked there was a squat, which the State evicted a few years ago, sealing the building to prevent its reoccupation.

Athens,(exarxeia area) Greece: Taking responsibility by Anarchists, for the 28/5 clashes as a sign of solidarity with the hunger striker G.Michailidis

Taking responsibility for the 28/5 clashes as a sign of solidarity with the hunger striker G.Michailidis

On Saturday 28/5 we chose to given a life  to the neighborhood of the  exarxeia little more.

It was clear in our minds to give the state a clear message about how things will be from now on if the struggle of the anarchist G. Michailidis is not vindicated.

The comrade has been incarcerated since 2013 in the Greek prisons and already since 29/12/2021 he fulfils all the formal conditions for his conditional release. However, the judges of the Amfissa Magistrate’s Court rejected his application.
