Facing a Covert Life Sentence, Action is Always Worth It: Words of Francisco Solar

Facing a Covert Life Sentence, Action is Always Worth It

Did you expect anything else from Power? Although the 86 year prison sentence has provoked surprise and a certain consternation, Power acted accordingly. It has punished forceful actions aimed at its defenders and representatives, the boldness of open rebellion that struck its spaces which it believed were unassailable and also the blatant and unambiguous vindication of these attacks, demonstrating that it sees the danger that spreading ideas and action implicitly carries.

The State has acted how it is and this shouldn’t surprise us.

It proceeded how it has historically when it’s been directly attacked, when they have really felt the threat of seeing their lives at risk and when, further, it found no submission nor repentence.

2023 IN REVIEW – UNOFFENSIVE REPORTS.

Another year has passed and because we apparently enjoy spending hours doing the maths, we have a list of the 2023 reported animal liberation actions by country, type and target!

It is worth mentioning, as always, that this list is in no way exhaustive as many people might decide to take action and not report it and because we keep an eye on platforms that use English, Spanish, Italian and German as their main languages, but we might’ve missed many other actions published in other platforms or by other countries! 



The total of reported animal liberation actions in 2023 is 99. Of those, 58 are sabotages, 30 are liberations and 11 are arsons.

Surprisingly and unlike other years, action against the flesh industry and sabotage against hunting infrastructure have equalised, with 40 reported actions against the meat industry and 41 against hunting. This is notable as in previous years we have seen a huge disparity in the numbers, with hunting infrastructure reported a lot more times than any other kind of target.

$hile: “Words from the confinement, necessary letters” by Marcelo Villarroel

“Words from the confinement, necessary letters” by Marcelo Villarroel

On December 16, 2009 I was expelled from Argentina after 21 months of confinement in different units of the province of Neuquén to be at the disposal of the Chilean state and it has been 14 years since then.

In 2014 I was sentenced to 14 years for two bank robberies. Strictly speaking, I am serving this sentence in its entirety, from beginning to end, without any benefit and it ends today December 16, 2023 and still the state keeps me behind bars.

According to the gendarmes, I must serve 12 more years of imprisonment to be able to apply for some intrapenitentiary benefit only in 2036. According to their retroactive modifications of the illegal Chilean law, in 2056 I will definitively expire my sentences, all of them from events that occurred more than 30 years ago.

Rome, Italy: Incendiary attack against two offices of Eni Plenitude (1st January 2024)

Rome: Incendiary attack against two offices of Eni Plenitude 1st January 2024

On New Year’s Eve we attacked two offices of ENI PLENITUDE of Rome, one in Viale Somalia and another in Via Togliatti.

The action was carried out by placing three incendiary devices (composed of fireworks and gas cannisters) between the windows and shutters of the premises.

We struck Eni due to its responsibility in the exploitation and pollution of the Earth and the militarisation of territories, supposedly in course of being developed.

Wars are inherent to capitalism, thanks to which capital is expanding, creating new markets and resources to be plundered. Eni has interests in the search for deposits off the Gaza strip and is closely linked to Italian geopolitical interests.
Striking national capital to strike capital’s war.

This action is a contribution to the SWITCH OFF! Campaign.

Solidarity to Juan, Alfredo, Anna, Zac, Stecco, Paska, Poza, Rupert, Nasci, Stefano, to Ilaria and Tobias imprisoned in Hungary.

Rome, Italy: Claim for the incendiary barricade and stone-throwing against the headquarters of Terna (Rome, 2nd November 2023)

Rome: Claim for the incendiary barricade and stone-throwing against the headquarters of Terna (Rome, 2nd November 2023)

Claim for incendiary barricade and stone-throwing Rome – 2nd November 2023
In the night of 2 November we placed and set fire to tyres to block the traffic in front of the headquarters of Terna spa of via Egidio Galbani in both directions and threw stones to break the windows. Terna is the main company in Italy as regards the construction and maintenance of electrical infrastructure, but also operates abroad in countries such as Chile.

Terna is not only responsible for the environmental devastation and pollution resulting from the construction of power lines and related transformer stations, as a leading player in the process of electrifying the world as a result of the unhealthy idea of progress that this deadly system propagandises, but is also promoter of the “green revolution” caused by the recent needs of restructuring of capitalism which will only bring further exploitation of ecosystems and people. Denouncing its responsibilities is one of the objectives of our action.
This action is to be included in the international campaign for the liberation of Marcelo Villarroel. Marcelo is an anarchist prisoner in the prisons of the State of Chile, imprisoned after being in hiding in 2007 for a series of bank expropriations.

Action targeting Chase Bank in NYC (USA)

Action targeting Chase Bank in NYC

On Friday night 12/21, a Chase Bank located near Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn apartment was shut down with ample amounts of superglue in its door lock and card reader. Its windows and walls were redecorated with “Stop Cop City” and “Free Gaza”.

JP Morgan Chase is a funder of Atlanta’s Cop City, the genocidal regime in Israel, the Mountain Valley Pipeline, as well as numerous capitalist and imperialist projects destroying the earth and causing immense suffering. It must be stopped by any means necessary.
To Chase, we are the New York rats that can’t be poisoned. We are the cockroaches that won’t die. When you least expect it, we will crawl all over your fancy dinner. We will jump out from the darkest corners of your fears to bite you in the ass. Watch out.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for a raid on a MAT (riot cop) bus

The constant distortion of reality by the authorities and their sycophants everywhere.

On 22/10/2021 the 18 year old Roma Nikos Sampanis was shot with 36 bullets by the uniformed scum of the DIAS unit (motorcycle cops) in the area of Perama. This was preceded by the torture of Vassilis Maggos, which led to his death, followed by the rape at the Omonia Police Station, while on 22/09/2022 16-year-old Michalis was dragged and abandoned by an police vehicle in Ampelokipi in Thessaloniki, resulting in him breathing his last breath in hospital.

A little over a year after the murder of Sampanis, the 16-year-old Roma Kostas Fragoulis was murdered in Diavata, Thessaloniki on 05/06/2022 with a bullet in the head by a cop of the DIAS unit as he committed the crime of not paying for twenty euros worth of petrol.

Barcelona: the police install a camera to spy on a squat in the district of Gràcia

A camera hidden in a dark box on the roof of a restaurant monitored the activity of a squat house in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, at least since December 22 when it was detected. As disseminated by the group Ègida -Defensa Collectiva Anarquista, the video surveillance team focused directly on the door of the squat, which is why they rule out that it is the restaurant’s security system.

Neighborhood witnesses have told La Directa that during the last weeks they had observed the presence of “strange” individuals and vehicles parked with people inside the house all day: “I saw them in front of the house, I am convinced that they were plainclothes policemen,” says a neighbor. One of the managers of the restaurant, where the state security forces had placed the camera, told this media outlet that they have “nothing to say”.
