CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE DEFENSE OF THE COMMUNITY OF SQUATTED PROSFYGIKA ON ALEXANDRAS AVENUE IN ATHENS, GREECEAthens Greece : Attack against Municipal Police Station in Pagkrati area
We live in a period where it is not so easy to make demonstrations without being attacked by the cops. The reason is not to close the streets for the flow of commercial interests but it is also to spread fear in the society, the breaking of the solidarity that might grow out of collective moments of struggle and make us to helpless targets of their thirst of power. It does not matter the reason of the demonstration. It could be teachers, firefighters, anarchists. We live in a period where it could be dangerous to make a demonstration. Because we are few and the squads of the uniformed death regime are many.
In Exarchia the constant attacks on MAT stopped when we lost Polytechnio and Delta came back to the streets. The city of Athens seems full of cops and cameras. But our desire to watch the democratic facade breaking down is still alive.

Athens, Greece: POLITICAL KAFENIO STRUCTURE AND FIRST DISCUSSIONS AT ZIZANIA SQUAT
The Zizania political kafeneio is an open autonomous structure that aims to create inside of the squat a favourable space for in-depth political discussions – understanding that the assembly format is often not the most accessible neither the most suitable for such purpose. We envision an open space where diverse groups and individuals will come to meet, exchange and share ideas, questions, experiences, political thoughts, and debate topics relevant to them, to the space and the wider political context in a respectful and inclusive environment.
We will start with a first event on Tuesday 14/12 and then intend to hold similar events on a regular basis throughout the next months. Regarding the format, we aim for loosely moderated discussions impulsed whether with short introductions by groups or individuals, open questions, documentary screenings, brochure presentations, workshops and whatever other format people think could lead to fruitful discussions. As we want to give space for continuity from one event to the next, we are proposing umbrella topics that would cover a few events in a row, with suggested sub-thematics for each.

Patras, Greece: Taking responsibility for ambushing cops
10 March 2021 we set up an ambush with bins waiting for the cops in the Aguia area. When we saw them from a distance of 20 meters, we came out of the school and threw stones, and 2 molotov cocktails, the police car put the car directly into reverse and left the area, later a DIAS team chased us but lost us in the alley. A cop on the street also got hit by a fire from a balcony and then we burned his shirt.
P.S. Flame, you idiot, watch your mouth. 5 times we’ve chased you and once we beat you if you remember correctly back in the 4th E.P.A. when you walked in and then ran and hid behind cops.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Taking responsibility for an attack on a bank by Μητροπολιτική Ομάδα Καταστροφών [Metropolitan Catastrophes Group]
via: athens.indymedia translated by Act for freedom now!
6/12 marks the 13th anniversary of the murder of the anarchist student Alexandros Grigoropoulos by the cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis. “Normality” died overnight. The straw that broke the camel’s back led thousands of pupils, students, migrants, workers from all over the country to take to the streets, to violent demonstrations, to mass strikes, to attacks against State and capitalist targets.
December 2008 became the vehicle of an uprising that gave hope to those oppressed and excluded by the State and capital. Overnight, after years of social “stability”, the proletarian riots of December reopened the stakes of social resistance and revolution in post-communist Greece. The 2008 uprising, the occupations, the clashes, but above all the realization that we have nothing to lose and the perception that the enemy is not invulnerable, left an important legacy for the resistances in the decade of repression, poverty and exploitation that followed.
Today, 13 years later, in times of crisis, the State is stepping up its attack on those from below. Having abandoned the public health system in the midst of a pandemic, it has chosen the path of repression. It beats up students, abolishes university asylum, targets squats, bans demonstrations, unleashes a wave of persecution against anarchists and militants without evidence with the sole aim of cutting off any prospect of uprisings in the here and now.
Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for the attack on the Acropolis police station by comrades
via: athens.indymedia.Translated by act for freedom now!
On Saturday 27 November we attacked the Acropolis police station with Molotov cocktails. At the time of the attack the guard cop and 4 under cover cops sitting in front of the police station, at the sound of the cry “murderers” scampered and hid in the building while we set fire to the guard post and the entrance of the police station.
We haven’t said the last word yet, these are Alexi’s days.
It is not remembrance, or melancholy nostalgia. It is the very idea of rebellion against our oppressors and exploiters. It is the fiery flame of yesterday that drives the gestures of resistance of today.
It is not a desire for repetition, but the very reality of exploitation, death politics, totalitarian control, segregation and total state management of the pandemic.
It is the intensity of oppression, of the suffocating present that arms us with the will, the desire, the strength to attack the state apparatus. It is the December 2008 uprising that fills us with the faith that the situation can and must change and that those from below can come back to the forefront by claiming their own lives.

Athens, Greece: DNA SAMPLES AND ARRESTS IN THE MESS OF WAR WE LIVE EVERY DAY HERE
It is a fact that worldwide the system of monitoring and control using biometric data is growing with the creation of data banks for everyone with the cooperation of State, European and international organisations.
At the same time as the majority of society is subjected to the violence of the State and capital, the increasing impoverishment and the rising cost of living, the beating of strikers and students by the repressive forces, the murders by the cops, the killings in the sweatshops of wage slavery , the repatriations and murder of immigrants.
At the same time they are also expanding their legal arsenal and sharpening their attack on anyone and everyone who raises their head and anyone and everyone who attempts to resist modern totalitarianism. The Greek State is seeking to use trumped-up charges to break the morale of those who are struggling. We, the fighters, the comrades, the comrades declare our presence, we do not retreat, we stand on the side of every exploited and oppressed person, on the side of the persecuted and imprisoned comrades. Anyway, in the beginning DNA identification comes for the fighters, then it will be established for all.
