On May 11, comrades were arrested following the armed robbery of a Piraeus Bank branch in Kato Tithorea. Wanting to send a signal of solidarity, we torched 2 ATMs (Piraeus and Ethniki) on Ethniki Antistaseos street , in Kaisariani on the evening of Wednesday, July 8. Instead of dispensing money, the burnt ATMs sent smoke signals to the comrades in prison.

We do not intend to say many things in this text as the action is quite specific. The current events of the last few days and especially the absence of dialogue, at the movement level, has troubled us. We perceive ourselves as parts of the broader combative movement, a movement characterised by diversity in particular, which constitutes one of its fundamental characteristics. It is a matter of responsibility to share some thoughts. What matters is that the dialogue begins and not who begins it.

Meantime..

Over the last week, after the arson attacks in Thessaloniki, we have witnessed statements condemning “violence wherever it comes from” from the entire political system of the country. Government officials, members of parliament, ministers, and even the prime minister are making statements, on whatever channel hosts them, condemning “left-wing violence,” criminalising protest, ordering criminal charges, announcing “witch hunts,” likening fliers to incendiary devices, inceasing the occupation of a public building from a misdemeanor to a felony (even at the level of statements) and calling for an “extension” of the term “terrorist organisation.” Continue reading Arson of two ATMs banks, in Kaisariani area by Anarchists (Athens,Greece) →

We don’t need to say much about the banks. They are the main pillar of the murderous system, capitalism. On May 11, some anarchist comrades expropriated the bank in Kato Tithorea. They preferred dignity to wage slavery. Unfortunately, the cops arrested eight people for the case and took them to prison.

We take responsibility for the arson attack on the DELTA group gang  cops , on Tsamadou and Tositsa streets, on Saturday night 27.6 in Exarcheia. A group of comrades approached the said group and sent them into a disorderly flight amidst screams of panic. It was a way on our part to show that with organization, discipline and above all the WILL to act, the doctrine of law and order is degraded in practice. However, it is also a message to the forces of repression that are ravaging the Exarcheia neighborhood that the days when you went around beating like cowboys have passed irrevocably. You are unwanted in our places and we will show you this at every opportunity.

The attack is an act of honoring the memory of the armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris. The loss of the life of such a brilliant comrade will always be the driving force for us to overcome our fears, break our conventions and go on the attack on everything that oppresses and destroys people’s lives. It is our way of sending our solidarity and unlimited respect to the 8 anarchist comrades who are being prosecuted for the expropriation of a bank in Kato Tithorea. It is also an act of solidarity in the ongoing struggle of the Community of Occupied prosfigika and the hunger strikers (at that time) Aristotelis Chantzis and Suzon Duppagne. A struggle that raises broader issues about the functions of communities that go against the modern world of the economic exploitation of everything and the conversion of entire neighborhoods, especially the center of Athens, into fillets for investment.
