Deportation vans go up in smoke
[During the night of Sunday/Monday March 17, three vans belonging to the administration responsible for deportations, which were parked in front of the Regional Coordination Center for the Refugee Payment Card, went up in smoke in Gießen (Hesse) at around 4am. The damage caused by this incendiary attack is estimated by the police at 300,000 euros (including the building’s facade and windows). The attack was claimed the very next day on de.indymedia.
The “payment card” in question relates to the payment of asylum-seekers’ allowances by this means, which were previously paid in cash. This special smart card was introduced throughout Germany in June 2024 to fully control the use of the allowance paid to asylum seekers, by limiting monthly cash withdrawals to 50 euros, or by not allowing transfers or electronic payments outside the territory].
Fire and flames for the payment card
On March 17, we attacked the payment card coordination center for the Hesse region with incendiary devices. Several vans and the building on Lilienthalstraße (Gießen) were damaged. It’s no coincidence that we’ve targeted this state institution. With its vehicles, the Gießen district council (Regierungspräsidium, RP) is involved in daily evictions from reception centers, which it coordinates across the whole of Hesse. For these reasons alone, it deserves to be attacked.
