HERAKLEIO CITY ,(GRETE ISLAND) Greece : FOR THE ATTACK ON STARBUCKS by anarchists

HERAKLEIO CITY FOR THE ATTACK ON STARBUCKS ON 29/12/23

For the attack on Starbucks on 29/12 in Heraklion, Crete
In the night that dawned on 29/12, we decided to attack the Starbucks on Byronos and August 25th streets. The action was carried out by lighting two improvised smoke bombs and hitting the windows of the store with hammers.

After the door fell, we threw in bottles filled with red paint. Red like the blood of children in Palestine. Starbucks, among many other companies, choose not only to cover up Israel’s terrorism and murder of the Palestinian people, but are actively contributing by making deals that will take place over the soil where the victims of the Israeli State’s bloodlust are buried.

This action is an indication that we will continue to fight the terror imposed by States, despite repression and intimidation in the name of security and order.

THIS CITY IS LESS YOU

Athens,Greece: Activists vandalise Syntagma waterfall with red paint in solidarity with Palestine

On Christmas night, activists covertly made a spectacle in the tourist hub of Athens, Syntagma square. The anonymous actors poured red paint into the central waterfall of the busy square, while scattering leaflets reading “long live Palestine” “long live the resistance” and “long live Gaza”.

The gesture is in response to Bethlehem’s cancellation of Christmas and the international call to take action on New Years Eve, in solidarity with Palestine.

The action took place in the touristic centre of Athens. Nearby, champagne glasses overflowing with ignorance were enjoyed, while flames of rage engulfed the fake Christmas tree. For the principled among us, this season’s many trees and decorations failed to symbolise Christmas, but rather served as a reminder of the fake humanity and capitalistic individualism that alllows people to ‘celebrate’ while the Zionists continue their genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza and bomb the birthplace of Jesus.

Athens : Taking responsibility for attacks on Israeli investments

LET’S SABOTAGE THE WAR ON THE FRONTLINES

The massacre carried out by the Israeli army of occupation in Gaza is being carried out with the tolerance and support of NATO imperialism, with the Greek state playing an active role: Above,from the eternal concession of the Souda base, turns the 112th combat wing into Eleusina on the basis of logistics and support of the murderous Greece-US-Israel alliance.

Also, the Ministry of Defence has dispatched the war frigate “Psara” to the Cyprus-Lebanon border to support the American fleet in the event of a wider military conflict in the region. The Greek ruling class is not only investing in military cooperation with the terrorist state of Israel, but also in direct economic cooperation with Israeli capital through various investments and partnerships spread throughout Greece. These investments can be easily targeted by anyone and everyone. After all, our task as working class and fighters was and is to transfer the war to the rear. Sabotage and rupture with the bourgeoisie and its alliances in our own country.
In an increasingly suffocating environment of silence about the massacre in Gaza, the mainstream media is selling the narrative that the Palestinians are the terrorists. But we know very well who has been slaughtering and oppressing for 75 years.

Chania, October-December ’23

Pola Roupa:They want to put me back in prison en/gr/it/ (Greece)

Pola Roupa:They want to put me back in prison

On December 13th, almost one month after my release, I have been notified of an appeal by the deputy prosecutor of the court of Appeal of Euboea against the decision to suspend me, asking me to return to prison.  In their appeal, they are asking for the “disappearance” of the verdict of the district court of Thebes that released me from prison.  This is a political move, dictated by the evident political discontent that my liberation has aroused in some power centres.

Based on the logic of this appeal, the arguments and the “evidence” it cites, it goes without saying that no prosecutor would have dealt with it if it had concerned any other prisoner. For example, in his appeal the deputy prosecutor of the court of Appeal of Euboea “criticises”  the “methodology” followed by the council of the district court of Thebes, namely the fact that I was not personally summoned to the council when it was considering my request for a conditional acquittal, while thousands of women have been released from Eleonas prison before me using exactly the same methodology and no prosecutor has ever dealt with any of them.

The struggle against the assimilation of state killings will always find us face to face with all that this entails.

Athens: Responsibility Claim for the Attack on MAT/EKAM HQ in Greece by Armed Proletarian Justice

Armed Proletarian Justice – Communique No.1

On 18/12 armed fighters of our organization approached the Central Camp of MAT (Units for the Reinstatement of Order)/EKAM (Directorate of Police Operations of Attica) in Kokkinopoulou Street and placed a bomb under the sentry post. You were lucky this time, the same will not apply next time. We dedicate our action to those who have been murdered, tortured, beaten and raped by the Greek Police. Armed struggle requires responsibility and political conscience. It is neither a hobby of some extremists nor a fetish of some fantasists. It is a political choice. Our primary concern was, is and will be in the future the protection of any person unrelated to our action. To ensure the safe removal of random passers-by, two warning calls were made where detailed instructions were given to the police. For us – and we stress this – it is of the utmost importance that no innocent person should be harmed in any way. The targets that we chose and will choose in the future – whether material infrastructure of the system or the personnel itself – will be clearly defined as such. We do not want to risk anyone else’s safety. Even if it puts our own security at increased risk. We carry the enormous responsibility that comes with the de facto use of such means of struggle. Period.

In Greece there is a long historical tradition of urban guerrilla organizations. Their action, according to the historical context and the conditions of the period, has always been politically just, targeting the sell-out scum and the infrastructure of the political-economic establishment. With our action, the hollow proclamations of the New Democracy, which at every opportunity proclaims the definitive elimination of the urban guerrilla, have collapsed. We put into question the much advertised doctrine of law and order by targeting the MAT/EKAM headquarters. We will strike again at the right time, targeting the defiant representatives of the rotten political and economic system and their uniformed henchmen. That is, the culprits of the most heinous crimes committed in the name of the state. Next time the uniformed bastards will be facing the barrels of our guns. And that’s no threat. Nor is it a warning. It’s a commitment. We don’t like arrogant grandstanding, but we do like consistency to define our political discourse. This police state relies on the power of guns, and anyone who wants to fight it must hold themselves to the same standard. We throw down the gauntlet and declare that we will speak the same language that the fascists of the Greek police understand; we have taken it on board, as the cops’ guns are blazing.
