“…for I obeyed only my heart, which was torn by the suffering of all
proletarians, the unfortunate, the hunted and the enslaved outcasts ”
Germaine Berton

These are the moments when big words seem inappropriate and presumptuous, when life in all its intensity makes us realize how short our path can be. When we speak up at such a moment, we hope to offer empathy, solidarity, perhaps a little solace to those who want it.

It is these moments that make us painfully aware that the life we have chosen is not only intense, exhausting, dangerous and at the same time beautiful, but also very fleeting. When a person with revolutionary ideas dies fighting for them, it is important to take a moment.

In Grief, Anger and Revolutionary Solidarity – We Bid Farewell to our Fallen Friend and Comrade Kyriakos EN/EL/DE/ (Berlin,Germany)

Kyriakos lived for the struggle and died struggling.

Our friend and comrade lost his life in an explosion in an apartment in Athens on October 31st 2024.

We want to remember him as a beloved part of all of our lives, which he enriched in so many ways.

Kyriakos took part in struggles around the world and stood up against all oppression with all his being. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in the streets, in houses and gatherings, to wage a common struggle against state and capital.

Together we have stood against racism, fascism, prisons and patriarchy, covering each other’s backs and giving each other strength to fight this exploitative system.

His solidarity had no limits and we can proudly say that we were able to fight for a better world alongside such a wonderful person.

Solidarity to those who resist (Athens,Greece)

On October 31, 2024, the anarchist comrade Kyriakos X. falls dead after a bomb exploded in his hands in an apartment in Ampelokipi. The explosion seriously injured the anarchist comrade Marianna M., who is now under guard at Evangelismos hospital, having escaped the danger.

From the first moment, the state and the media began their well-known operations of mud, scaremongering and putting out various scenarios. As a result of this, the multi-injured M. is being prosecuted with charges of founding and joining a terrorist organization under Article 187a (and other felony and misdemeanor charges). M., the anarchist comrade Dimitra Z., as well as another comrade who has already been remanded, are in custody.

The wretchedness and vindictiveness of the state apparatus was visible from the first moments, with the cops harassing the parents of our dead comrade K. X., telling them it wasn’t him. Also, the cops proceeded to take fingerprints while M.M. was in a critical condition in the ICU.

For our part, we know our comrades very well. We have been with them in many struggles, in assemblies, actions and on the streets. Our solidarity and support for them is unconditional.

As for K. X., his memory will accompany us in our struggles, those now and those which we have ahead of us. The struggles that he dedicated himself and finally gave his life to.

Kyriako forever in our hearts.

Power to Marianna M.

Freedom to Dimitra Z. and the other comrade on remand

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.

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.
