Assago (Milan), Italy: Incendiary attack on 23 Enjoy cars and an Eni Plenitude van (Assago, 31 October 2024)

Assago (Milan), Incendiary attack on 23 Enjoy cars and an Eni Plenitude van.

During the night between Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st October in Assago, province of Milan, 23 electric cars of the above car-sharing company and a van belonging to Eniplenitude, of the Eni group, were set on fire.

While the massacre in Gaza continues a year on, Eni continues to enrich itself doing big business with Israel as is shown by the acquisitions of off-shore natural gas deposits along the coasts of Gaza carried out by the Italian multinational immediately after October 7th 2023.

As soon as the moment for tears is over, the time for action arrives

2024/11/04

Life holds surprises it would be wise to take into account. Yet no one is wise enough to do so. That is why we are always unprepared when the unexpected guest pays a visit. His arrival eliminates everyone, righteous and unjust, victims and executioners, in the same way. It makes no difference. We are the difference. It lies deep in our heart.

Alfredo M. Bonanno

The news came out a few days ago, overpowering and out of the blue. In the afternoon of October 31, a massive explosion blew up the third floor apartment of a building in the Ampelokipoi neighbourhood in Athens. Anarchist comrade Marianna was pulled out from the rubble alive and is in a serious condition in the Evangelismos hospital, in the hands of the police.

Chile: A death in action is an eternal call to struggle. Letter to the comrades of Kyriakos and Marianna. EN/ES

A death in action is an eternal call to struggle.
Letter to the comrades of Kyriakos and Marianna.

Kyriakos has left us, he died in an apartment last Thursday. Marianna is seriously wounded in the Evangelismos hospital. Both anarchist comrades present in different scenarios of the struggle. We receive the news with sadness and closeness because the last breath of her life could have been eventually also the last of several of us. Our feelings cannot be more than immense affection and admiration because we know that those who walk the path of the anarchist offensive are valuable and unique in their qualities, contradictions and contributions to the struggle.

Our era is marked by the naturalization of war and death in the service of conflicts between powers, turning loss into a figure, forgetting names and identities. On the other hand, in this, our war against power, we do not forget any face, we do not forget any name. From now on, every 31st of October will be a day in which we, the anarchists of the world are summoned to take a step forward and take up arms against the states, capital and authority, internationally braiding the horizon of anarchy and freedom through attack. None of our dead will be a reference to an old history, they are the present of action and combat.

From Berlin to Athens – we stand together in grief, with anger and in revolutionary solidarity.EN/DE/EL/ TURKISH / ES/ IT.


On 3.11 we came together with friends and comrades of Kyriakos Xymitiris, Marianna M., Dimitra Z. and the fourth accused person held imprisoned since the 1st of November, in the aftermath of an explosion that happened on Thursday the 31st of October in Ambelokipi, Athens and the repression that followed.

Each of them is one of us and they are loved and respected for who they are. In all the moments that we have shared with them, they inspired our daily struggles, made us stronger in the face of repression, made us laugh and gave us the power to believe in our strength and ideas. This is why we come together, grieve and cry collectively, and also show our solidarity and complicity in the streets of Berlin.

Those lost in the fire of the struggle never die

On the 31st of October, anarchist Kyriakos Ksimitiris was killed by an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipoi area in Athens, Greece.
The only ones who can talk about our comrade are all of us who stood beside him in assemblies, actions, demos, and clashes.

For many years, Kyriakos had been incessantly present in groups of
solidarity to prisoners; in the antiwar-internationalist movement; in
actions to defend the neighbourhood of Exarchia; in struggles in the
universities; in the defence of squats and in every social and class
struggle. He was dedicated to it, always willing to explore together its most rebellious aspects. He wasn’t simply defending the struggle by all means for social liberation from a theoretical perspective, he truly incarnated it.

Comrade Kyriakos chose to fight until the end, by all means, against the world of power, state, capital, racism, patriarchy. He chose to fight on the side of the oppressed and the revolted, for a better world; for a world of solidarity, equality, freedom.
His loss creates a huge void for his family and friends, his comrades
who stood beside him; a void also for the struggle, to which he left his mark by his attitude and words.

Anarchist Kyriakos Ksimitiris was one of us. We will defend and
keep his memory forever in our hearts and in every moment of our
struggle.

“I know you despise them because the Court is so well armed, but let me tell you that they are so confident of their power that they feel their importance. They are come to that pass that they do not value your forces, and though the evil is that at present their strength consists only in their imagination, yet a time may come when they may be able to do whatever they now think it in their power to do.”

Comrade, we will meet again in the streets of fire where you will live forever…

Strength to our injured comrade Marianna until liberation
Honour to the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Ksimitiris
Solidarity with all those persecuted for the same case

Hamburg/Germany: From Hamburg to Berlin to Greece – we are with you.

Received email:

From Hamburg to Berlin to Greece – we are with you. In shock and with anger we heard the terrible news from Athens. So we had a very brief assembly in our Anarchist Library on Sunday morning, printed a few flyers and hung two banners – one in a busy park in the St Pauli Area, another one at the Bookfair of the anarchist Re/Fuse congress, which is taking place this weekend.

In deep grief, anger, revolutionary solidarity and complicity we are on your side.

About the raid against squatted Prosfygika in the 22nd of November, 2022 (Athens, Greece)

Received by email:

The Community of Squatted Prosfygika* was violently raided twice by armed police forces in the 22nd of November, 2022. The first raid took place in the early morning hours and the goal was to capture fellow comrade and member of the community Kostas Dimalexis, whom the state accused of commiting arson attacks on state and capital targets. The case could not stand in court, where, after a year and a half of imprisonment he was deemed non-guilty, since most if not all the evidence was either fabricated or just lacking.

Afterwards, in the evening of the 22nd, the second raid occurred, where a counter-terrorist unit backed up by other militarised police squads broke into one of the buildings of the community, a building that houses a social kitchen, an open political space and families, and arrested 79 people. Among them were comrades who came to express their solidarity to the community after the first raid and families with children. This group stood united and fought valiantly against the police forces in order to protect one another and the liberated grounds of the community.
