Letter of the anarchist Vanggelis Stathopoulos
read at the event SOLIDARITY IN THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE TODAY & THE NEED FOR A FEDERATED MOVEMENT held on 10/04/2022 by the Assembly of Refugee Squats (SY.KA.PRO) at the Self-managed Canteen of Law university in Athens

Letter:

I greet the comrades who organized and participated in this event.
I would like to refer to the question of social solidarity. Solidarity is a relationship-concept that inspires the broader movement, it is a basic component to build a world against the exploitation of man by man, a common practice of subversive movements worldwide. Practical solidarity is not a position, it is an attitude of life, it is a matter of consciousness, it becomes an experience in our lives. It is the practical critique against social cannibalism. By expressing it each and every one of us in our personal lives, we grow with it, giving it practical and meaningful significance. Solidarity is an experience, we hold it in our hands and distribute it generously when needed.

Practical solidarity is an idea, it defines our conscience, it is a code of values, it is the act between people without the mediation of money or power, and it is based on selflessness and characterises the human condition. It is our history and our future. It is the choice to remain human.

Montpellier (Hérault): the authorities are concerned about sabotage against their construction site

Montpellier: vandalism on the building site of the Lien, “significant” resources to identify the culprits
Midi Libre, April 14, 2022
Since its launch, the Lien construction site (Intercommunal link of northern bypass), in Grabels and Saint-Gély-du-Fesc, has been the target of acts of vandalism. Each time, complaints have been filed. Last December, the departmental council, the project owner, denounced damage amounting to “several hundred thousand euros”, while the prefecture brought together the companies and the gendarmerie to set up reinforced surveillance.
Four machines destroyed, seven others damaged

Flyer: Caen, The battle is played out in the streets ! (France)

The battle is in the streets!

“There are no supreme saviours.
Neither god, nor Caesar, nor tribune”,
An old song

The results of the first round of the presidential elections, which in any case had nothing cheerful to offer except the funeral oration of the old parties of the PS and the Republicans, have arrived. In a pale replay of 2017, we should delegate our power and march in step behind the ideal gendarme and, above all, the State and Capital, or abandon ourselves to the throes of racism and an ”anti-system” complicit in the reign of hierarchy and money. Another possibility is to express our revolt without waiting.

The electoral system and their democracy are illusions, where we are urged to identify with the concerns of the power, to accept the language and the agenda. All this reveals what elections have never ceased to be: a moment synonymous with passivity where the appetite for delegation and resignation is stimulated. We should, with sorrow or enthusiasm, confuse our interests with those of the established order and empathize with representatives vying for an extra share of wealth and power.

Greece: Text by anarchist prisoner Thanos Chatziaggelou: During a witch hunt, pride is hidden in the fire beam.

Thanos Chatziaggelou: During a witch hunt, pride is hidden in the fire beam.

Since the first day of my arrest, I have consciously chosen to keep a consistent position and refused to cooperate with the prosecution and interrogation authorities. Every time I spoke, I did it to claim certain historical and political responsibilities. Responsibilities towards my individual and collective path in the acts of revolutionary violence, as well as towards two of my comrades, on whose names from the very first moment the anti-terrorist unit tries to personify the lost pieces of the puzzle of the so-called deracination of Anarchist Action.

In this case, beyond what is objectively true and what is a lie, the greatest danger lies behind the political goals of the anti-terrorist unit. So, what are the shocking pieces of evidence of the service, infamous for its methodical lies: A ridiculous anonymous phone call that names me personally as the one responsible for a set of arson attacks in the region of Thessaloniki (a phone call whose number I assume is going to be missed in the trial by the hackers of the service), surveillance of ambiguous quality and origin taken from my personal daily life, my arrest together with my companion Georgia Voulgari in the house of Panos Kalaitzis, where I had in my possession a set of confiscated items that are named as “arsenal” and two clear political statements: the common responsibility claim of one and only arson attack at the FNRC from me and my companion and my personal responsibility claim of being a member of the Anarchist Action.

Santiago (Chile): Sabotage of surveillance cameras


Contra Info / Wednesday, April 20, 2022
Sabotage of the panopticon of power
On Sunday night, April 10th, we went to Simón Bolívar square, in Quinta Normal, to destroy some cameras of the government and the police, three of which were on a metal pole two stories high.
We claim responsibility for this sabotage a few days before the 33rd anniversary of the death in combat of the fighters Erick Rodríguez and Iván Palacios, who died on April 18, 1989, in an ambush by the CNI [Note of Attaque; Central Nacional de Informaciones, the Chilean political police between 1977 and 1990 (during the dictatorship)], during their attempt to blow up an electric transformer at the intersection of San Pablo and Radal avenues, in the same neighborhood Simón Bolívar.

To question all authority, to reject all kinds of power and to enter into conflict with them is a continuous fight.

Grenoble (Isère): a Spie utility vehicle in flames in solidarity with anarchists.

Grenoble (Isère): a Spie utility vehicle in flames
Indymedia Lille, April 22, 2022
No matter who will be elected in the next round of elections, the State will continue to build cages to lock up those who do not want to and/or cannot fit into its boxes. Outside, the threat of these cages hangs over our heads, inside, they injure, torture and kill. That’s why on the night of April 13 a Spie van, the company that builds prisons, went up in flames.
Thoughts for Boris and Flo.
