Sledgehammer attack on the debt collection Paladino SA company

One of the most infamous professions in the people’s consciousness is that of the debt collector. Whatever form it takes, from the loan shark’s henchmen, to the tax collector, to the shiny offices of the call centres of today’s collection companies, the debt collector is a universally hated figure.

And always the “professionals” of the genre make their money as a share of what, with threats, they manage to extract from weak and frightened people in danger of losing everything.

EXARCHIA WILL LIVE ON. OFF WITH THE METRO FROM THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Today, 5/7 at around 6:00am a surveyors workgroup and a contractor showed up at the square for setting out the works concerning the construction of a metro station in the square.
Immediately people from the neighbourhood and in solidarity arrived at the square making it clear that the people won’t allow the construction of a metro station in Exarchia, forcing them to leave.

They also made it clear that, as has happened until now, the next time they show up in the neighbourhood the people will be there to prevent any work.

EXARCHIA WILL LIVE ON

OFF WITH THE METRO FROM THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

A small attack against Airbnb in Exarchia

Some days before we did an action against an apartment that is being rented through the Airbnb platform in Manis street, Exarchia.

We wrote slogans, painted the key box, we threw leaflets with written on them in English “Housing is not a luxury, stop the evictions and gentrification” and “Immigrants welcome, tourists go to your own homes”. Then we threw paint on the balcony. The Delta cops passed by the point a few minutes before the action and a few minutes after we had finished without understanding anything.

For many years, Rigaer94 has been a hub of revolutionary anarchism andresistance against state & capital, gentrification and development in Berlin. Our comrades at Rigaer94 are currently facing an intense wave of state repression. As a minimum sign of solidarity, we have hung a banner from the squatted social center of Zizania.

Greece. Lesvos. The world as we have known it is currently being reshaped by a pandemic. This ongoing situation is being exploited to amplify existing inequalities, increase forms of social control by the state, close borders, and push through measures that would have otherwise been met with heavy resistance. Those already with the least before the pandemic–the poor, the elderly, survivors of domestic violence and gender-based violence, homeless people, people struggling with addiction, and migrants– are now even more exposed, with fewer and fewer support structures still operating.

However, many things remain the same: geopolitical interests provoke interstate conflicts, the consequences of which land on the backs of those with no power, who are already at the margins.

As a minimum indication of solidarity to the people arrested, tortured and jailed from the events of Nea Smyrni (initially, on 7 March midday at the ‘polis park’, the square and the park, but also afterwards, on 9 March with the pogroms in our neighbourhoods after the overwhelming river of people’s rage), we intervened with banners and paint in the areas of Nea Smyrni and Palaio Faliro, of Neos Kosmos and Agios Dimitrios. Throughout and against prohibitions, rifts of collectivization and explosions blossom.

Revenge!

There is no need for further recommendations. The implacable struggle of the revolutionary Dimitris Koufondinas continues on its 64^th day and proceeds from the necessity it started off from. A necessity that intensifies and strengthens as the government of Néa Dimokratía persists in and maintains an intransigent position, intending to kill him. The State’s brutality, its intransigence, isn’t only aimed at his death but far more at the extermination and definitive disintegration of the revolutionary perspective and combative dignity embodied in the figure of the revolutionary D. Koufondinas.

For a week we’ve been seeing with anger the State’s endless revenge, which changes between alternate declarations at times oozing false optimism and at others the cold brutal intention of extermination. But surprise is a luxury we can’t afford. It is obvious that you are trying to abdicate your responsibilities, but however you try to shake off any liability for an imminent death, the responsibility will be yours alone, it will have your signature. We are sure that from our struggle, here and now, revenge will pour out, while your power will lie among the ruins of the history you have chosen, and for the first time life will triumph over death.

and updates: 4.4.21

The first day of zizanio has come to an end! The corner of Fylis and Ferron was filled with life by solidarians who supported the projects, neighboors who came to meet and greet and bypassers who contributed to our effort to gather first need products. The attendance and participation of the people invited as well as of the people who spontaneously approached the space was of great practical and sentimental value to each and everyone of us! The need to support the project continues especially during the first days which are crucial for both its progress and in terms of repression. Our rendez-vous is renewed for (today) 4/4 from 10.00 for collective works in our new space.

P.S. Our most immediate need is furniture(tables, chairs, carpets, cushions)

Στην Φυλής και Φερών η Βικτώρια έχει ένα νέο κατειλημμένο κοινωνικό χώρο. Ένας χώρος για την αυτοοργάνωση της γειτονιάς, για κοινωνικές παρεμβάσεις, για συλλογική αντίσταση και για την οικοδόμηση μιας κοινότητας.

Ας συναντηθούμε στο χώρο αυτό για να ανταλλάξουμε σκέψεις και ανησυχίες, φαγητό, καφέ και ρούχα και για οποίον άλλο λόγο μπορούμε να φανταστούμε. Για χαριστικά παζάρια και δωρεάν κουρέματα, για προβολές και καφενεία, για αυτομορφώσεις και διάβασμα, για workshops και συνελεύσεις. Να χαρούμε το χώρο αυτό ως ένα βήμα προς την απελευθέρωση όλο και περισσότερων δημόσιων χώρων, να αρπάξουμε την αρχή αυτή ως αυτές/οί που διαμορφώνουν και ορίζουν τους αγώνες τους και τις ζωές τους. Αυτές/οί που δεν περιμένουν από άλλους ανθρώπους ή θεσμούς, που δεν αναμένουν κάποιες πιο ευνοϊκές συνθήκες για να πράξουν.

Με τα Ζιζάνια σκοπεύουμε να δημιουργήσουμε ένα ζωντανό χώρο μακριά από τη ρατσιστική, σεξιστική, καπιταλιστική βία του κράτους και της σημερινής κοινωνίας. Οραματιζόμαστε ένα χώρο αλληλεπίδρασης μεταξύ ατόμων διαφορετικών καταγωγών, ταυτοτήτων, ηλικιών, γλωσσών, απόψεων. Τις συνθήκες αυτές πρέπει να τις δημιουργήσουμε και να τις διαφυλάξουμε όλες/οι μαζί, συναντώντας η μία τον άλλο, δυναμώνοντας τις συντροφικές μας σχέσεις, διασυνδέοντας τις κοινοτητές μας και τους αγώνες μας. Για πολύ καιρό ονειρευόμασταν κάτι τέτοιο -σίγουρα δεν είμαστε οι μόνες/οι- και τώρα ήρθε η ώρα να πράξουμε. Με τις σκέψεις αυτές, σας προσκαλούμε να αναδείξετε τα δικά σας ζητήματα, να καταθέσετε τις δικές σας ιδέες, να αρχίσετε τις δικές σας πρωτοβουλίες και τους αγώνες και να συνδιαμορφώσουμε όλα μαζί το χώρο και τις λειτουργίες του.

Η Βικτώρια είναι ο τόπος που ζούμε και συναντιόμαστε και με τον έναν ή τον άλλο τρόπο βρεθήκαμε στους αγώνες της γειτονιάς. Ζώντας στη Βικτώρια έχουμε παρατηρήσει και βιώσει την πολυεπίπεδη κρίση που εξελίσσεται γύρω μας: οικονομική πίεση, μαύρη εργασία, ρατσιστική βία, καταρρέον σύστημα υγείας, περιορισμοί κυκλοφορίας και μια γενικότερη ψυχολογική κατάσταση φόβου και ανασφάλειας. Σε αυτή τη συγκεκριμένη γειτονιά, η φασιστική στροφή της Ελλάδας και της Ευρώπης είναι κάτι παραπάνω από εμφανής: εθνικιστική ρητορική, στρατιωτικοποίηση των δρόμων και των δημόσιων χώρων μας, ρατσιστική βία στο σχολικό περιβάλλον, στην χαμηλόμισθη εργασία, στη ζωή στο δρόμο και καταστολή οποιασδήποτε αντίστασης.
