Ampelokipi Case – 8th Hearing– 17/04/2026

The statement of anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos.

Nikos Romanos: I am here after almost 18 months of arbitrary and vindictive detention. I also want to contribute to the restoration of the truth with my statement. In general, I believe that the only reason I am here is my past. And I will explain later why I say this.

First of all, let me repeat here, as I have said from the beginning, that I have nothing to do with this specific case. I have not committed any of the offences attributed to me and I believe that this entire story, this entire path that has led me here, is the result of revenge that has brought me to this objectively unfavourable position.

Cyprus : What happened to the anti-fascist April 1st in Limassol (video + photo)

 

What happened to the anti-fascist April 1st in Limassol

On March 19, the neo-Nazi groups Fratria, Reconquista, Youth Resistance, and Paphos Nationalist Youth call for an “annual march” on April 1, 6:30 PM, from the Agios Nikolaos roundabout to the Grivas monument, attempting to repeat their march last year.

On March 26th , we announce a “Special Assembly Against Neo-Nazis” gathering in the park of Agios Nikolaos, at the monument to Fallen Resistance Fighters. Exactly between their pre-gathering and the Grivas monument. The clear aim was to block their path and cancel their march.

Italy: “The roses, where are the roses?”. Chronicles and reflections on the displays of affection for Sara and Sandro and on the anti-Mafia movement as a counter-insurgency mechanism.

“THE ROSES, WHERE ARE THE ROSES?”
Chronicles and reflections on expressions of affection for Sara and Sandro, and on the anti-Mafia movement as a tool for counter-insurgency

During the night of Thursday 19th to Friday 20th March, a loud bang shook the neighbourhoods of eastern Rome near the Parco degli Acquedotti; inside the park, an explosion caused part of an abandoned farmhouse to collapse. The explosion and the collapse killed two of our comrades, Sara and Sandro. Their unwavering consistency between idea and action led them to take risks and cross the line between life and death.

Chronicles and reflections on the displays of affection for Sara and Sandro and on the anti-Mafia movement as a counter-insurgency mechanism.

Για τα συντρόφια Σάρα και Σάντρο, που θα είναι πάντα ζωντανά στους αγώνες μας

Στις 19 Μαρτίου, στην Ιταλία, οι αναρχικοί σύντροφοι Alessandro Marcogliano και Sara Ardizzone σκοτώθηκαν έπειτα από έκρηξη που οδήγησε στην κατάρρευση της οροφής ενός εγκαταλελειμμένου κτιρίου του πρώην σιδηροδρομικού σταθμού, γνωστού ως “Casale del Sellaretto”, στο πάρκο των ρωμαϊκών υδραγωγείων. Τόσο από την ανακοίνωση των εκεί μπάτσων, όσο και από την κατάσταση που βρέθηκε η σορός του συντρόφου Sandro, φαίνεται ότι είχε προηγηθεί πρόωρη έκρηξη.

P0rt0 Al3gre. For Sara and Sandro at the Italian Consulate.

The affinity we share and expand is in large part realised by our confrontation with power, which we communicate through actions, calls, responses, and reflections that spur us on to further action. That affinity also comes, and deeply so, from tenderness between comrades, which is one of the forces that drives us to act, so that they feel that in the anarchist struggle, we are here too!

Support and participate in the defense of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika in Athens and the self-organized restoration of the neighborhood (Greece)

In the heart of Athens, the  Community of Squatted Prosfygika has hosted, sheltered, fed, and supported thousands of people over the past 15 years. It is one of the largest self-organized and liberated neighborhoods in Europe.

The Community is becoming stronger, but so is the repression. Currently, Prosfygika is under threat of attack and eviction. Over the past decade, this is the fiths time that the state and the region have attempted to evict and loot Prosfygika. This time, the threat seems the most serious and is about to be executed immediately.

Criminal or association? Charges dropped against one of the three accused in the Munich “Zündlumpen” case

Once again yellow envelopes fly into the mailboxes of anarchists in Munich. This time without the spirited ramblings of our favorite General SA employee Firoozi (or rather we seem to be her favorites). Instead this time it is the association “VRIOLG Dr. Stoll” & Co., from the higher court of Munich, that has honored some anarchists with their text. More than three months after the judicial association Himmelstoß & Co. declined to reopen the “Zündlumpen” case in the Staatsschutz (SS) chamber, due to a lack of evidence connecting one of the accused to the publishing of “Zündlumpen,” and after General SA Firoozi appealed the decision, the higher court of Munich has finally graced us with their decision.

About the raids at the anarchist library Kalabalik and the widespread wave of repression in Berlin

Early in the morning of March 24, 2026, the time had come once again. The doors of 17 buildings in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, and Kyritz were kicked in by a squad of masked figures who descended upon the people sleeping there, or, as in our case, upon bookshelves and newspaper archives. Reason for the violent wake-up call by the Berlin LKA, this time, was an arson attack last September on the power supply to the Adlershof Technology Park, which resulted in a widespread blackout. They’re looking for evidence to finally prove all the mental acrobatics of the investigation team “Spannung” [tension] to back up their hallucinated theories. This is at least what can be inferred from the search warrant presented, which was approved by enforcement judge Jacob. The places targeted were Infoladen Scherer8, L5 Späti, and several private apartments, and, as has happened several times in the past, the Anarchist Library Kalabalik in Kreuzberg.

All good things come in threes?

You might remember back in 2018 government snoops were already after something big. It was reported that folks wearing reggae hats had put up posters asking for help tracking down the politicians responsible for the 2017 G20 summit in Hamburg, as well as some of their particularly eager goons. They were also on the hunt for posters featuring photos of plainclothes cops.

From Napoli to Athens, solidarity is our common language-Ogni sgombero, una barricata (Italy,Napoli)

In central Athens, there is a squatted community were over 400 people from 27 different regions, speaking 20 different languages live together. They have managed to create their own self-organized reality building more than 20 infrastructures to take care of their health, education, culture. In June 2025, this community received new threats of eviction. However, what the extreme right wing government of Kiriakos Mitsotakis does not understand is that inside these 8 buildings there is so much more than walls and property titles.

(Chile) For those who insist on risking everything. Words from comrade Francisco Solar.

FOR THOSE WHO INSIST ON RISKING EVERYTHING

For those whom neither repression nor prison can subdue.

For those who, knowing that little or nothing of the oppressive reality will change, still risk everything for a few moments of freedom. True freedom from the moment you decide to confront power first-hand.

For those who don’t adapt.

For those who are not satisfied with criticism which, no matter how radical it might be, remains just words. Continue reading (Chile) For those who insist on risking everything. Words from comrade Francisco Solar.

Statements from the two comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta .

Marianna Manoura

I would like to state to the residents of the apartment building that the explosion was not due to an organized plan. It resulted in the death of my comrade, Kyriakos Xymitiris, and my own serious injury. We never wanted general people to suffer, nor to cause damage to people whilst social conditions are already very serious. When our political space wants to attack it evaluates, and the logic of collateral damage is in no way consistent with its values. We use our means against the system alone.

I thank the two people who helped me immediately after the explosion. Continue reading Statements from the two comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta in the 2 day of the trial. (Athens,Greece)

Ampelokipoi Case – 3rd Hearing – 04/03/2026 (detailed report)

The day began with the examination of the remaining witness for the prosecution. The witness is the owner of apartment C7. In response to questions from the presiding chamber, he estimated the total damage to his apartment at between 5,000 and 10,000 euros. He also stated that the issue of structural stability may have been raised by TERNA, without them having been provided with a copy of any technical report. The witness does not know who commissioned the TEE report or who handled the procedures for issuing the building permit. The witness confirmed that there are open shops on the ground floor of the apartment building and expressed the opinion that, theoretically, there is a structural stability issue in the event of an earthquake.

He also confirmed that the crew working on the restoration of the apartment building is small. Continue reading Athens: Brief updates of the first day and the 2 day and detailed report of Ampelokipi Case – 3rd Hearing – April 3, of the start of the “Ampelokipi case” trial. (Greece)
