A few words about the Exarcheia riots on 12th April 2025 (Athens,Greece)

A few words about the Exarchia riots on 12th April 2025

In the evening of April 12th, we chose to confront the forces of repression in the streets of Exarchia. This conflict erupted in a climate of intense police presence in the neighbourhood by the state and attempts to instill fear among those who resist.

Exarchia constitutes an area claimed by the state and capital of all kinds (tourist-hotels, restaurants, bars, construction, housing-real estate, airbnb). By fast-track procedures, especially since ND has been at the helm of the state but also with increased acceleration from the covid and post-covid era, a relentless attack has been taking place on the characteristics of the place in an attempt to extirpate the fighting past of the movement, the insurrectional tradition and riots. Beyond the presence and attacks of the cops this is also carried out through territorial claims by the state with the eviction of the squats (in which SYRIZA was also a participant). This state/investors’ attack consists of the elements of repression toward the people in struggle, the displacement of anyone that ‘does not fit’ and cannot withstand the cost of housing and the establishing of a sterilized reality characterized by investment, over-consumption, surveillance, violent ‘touristification’, hipsterism, alternativism and police reppression.

Germany: Two years of Switch-Off – an evaluation

Two years of Switch-Off – an evaluation

April 2024

It has been two years since we first spoke. The call was made in the middle of the ongoing strategy debate in the climate movement. At that time, after Hambi, Danni and directly after Lützerath, the potential of mass actions seemed to have been exhausted for many. In the context of these and other climate protest and mass actions, we wanted to propose a project with a focus on decentralized and direct actions.

At this point in time, the view of and fear of the impending climate collapse made it clear to us that radical methods and an intensification of revolutionary practice within the climate movement were urgently needed.

We formulated anti-state, autonomous, anarchist perspectives on sabotage and wanted to incorporate these more strongly.

In terms of content, we focused on an anti-colonial and technology-critical analysis. We were inspired by indigenous struggles and their practices resisting against (neo-)colonial exploitation and the destruction of their territories. Colonial exploitation is not only part of the racist ideological history of the West, but continues to be part of the economic and imperialist expansion efforts of large corporations such as Deutsche Bahn with the Tren Maya megaproject. With our analysis and call, we stood in solidarity with international struggles. In the ongoing destruction of the earth, we saw the necessity of attacking industrial infrastructures and the possibilities of a strengthening international points of reference in these struggles.

Berlin (Germany): 36 vehicles of war profiteers go up in smoke

36 vehicles of war profiteers go up in smoke

[Note of Sans Nom: On the night of Monday to Tuesday, June 17, thirty-six vans belonging to war profiteers Telekom and Amazon went up in smoke in Berlin: 17 of the former’s vehicles in the Lichtenberg district, and 19 of the latter’s in the Britz district, within minutes of each other at around 3am. Here’s a translation of the communiqué on this anti-militaristic attack, which appeared on de.indymedia the same day]. Translated by Act for freedom now!

Anti-militaristic attack on army collaborators, Amazon and Telekom

Last night, several vans belonging to Amazon and Telekom were set on fire in the south (Britz district) and east (Lichtenberg district) of Berlin. Neither fences nor cameras were able to prevent anti-militarists from attacking these two army collaborators. Both companies benefit enormously from widespread militarization and wars. That’s why it’s appropriate to sabotage them.

Instead of a champagne reception, we chose to celebrate the opening of Amazon-Tower with the carcasses of burned out cars. But we don’t find this hideous building to be sickening only because of its impact on the neighborhood, but also because of all the other dirty tricks up the tech giant’s sleeve, and especially because of its active participation in war and genocide. Amazon’s servers and Cloud Services are used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to store the huge amounts of data resulting from mass surveillance of the Palestinian population. With its subsidiary, Amazons Web Services (AWS), Amazon is one of the IDF’s partners. In 2021, AWS, Google and Microsoft signed contracts for the IDF to use their servers (Project Nimbus). Since the Israeli invasion and the complete destruction of the Gaza Strip that has resulted, the IDF needs much greater computing capacity to employ its military AI programs (Lavender, Where’s Daddy?).

BLACK AUGUST
Call for a month of action and propaganda by comrades Lupi, Tortuga, and Belén

Almost a year ago, death took three brave warriors from this plane within days of each other—each with their own unique experiences, perspectives, and contributions to the anti-authoritarian struggle, united by their passage through the illegalist offensive against the world of power and its accomplices.

To our kindred, to the anonymous insurgents wherever they may be, to those who, through ideas and practices antagonistic to power, continue resisting every chant of defeat: This is a call to connect with the comrades through their contributions, writings, and actions. It is an invitation to know them, recognize them, and engage in dialogue through action.

Berlin, Germany : A car of the Stölting company set on fire

Solidarity with Maja and all prisoners – A car of the Stölting company set on fire

During the night of 12 to 13 June, a car belonging to the Stölting company went up in flames.

The Stölting group is a services company and presents itself, among other things, as an external alternative for management, food, medical treatment, care and support for jails; it is proposing taking over certain areas, or even the management of prison establishments as a whole.

In the past, the Stölting group has also been associated with anti-union practices – workers found themselves offered money to leave the union.

With all the different roles they play in prison, they are supporting a system based on the punishment of persons who do not integrate into the logic of capitalist exploitation, and try to break them through isolation.

Prisons are one of the many repressive tools of the State to prevent actions of resistance and intimidate people who use counter-violence against them.

Italy: Updates May 2025 about Alfredo Cospito

We receive and spread with rage. Maximum solidarity to Alfredo:

Hi everyone: the updates that are reaching us about the comrade Alfredo Cospito’s situation convey a clear worsening of the already aberrant conditions of imprisonment under 41-bis.

Over a few months Alfredo has been facing a progressive limitation in the already demanding possibilities of surviving under the prison regime that he has been assigned to since 2022, among which an almost total block on correspondence to and from outside, impossibility of access to the prison library (an authorisation that Alfredo received from the prison management), a block on books regularly acquired in a bookshop through the prison (according to the 41-bis regime) and other goods, such as flour or clothing, for daily use.

« I have great respect for the solidarity and support that is reaching me from all over. That gives me the strength to continue to fight, with you, not only for better conditions of imprisonment in Hungary and elsewhere, but also for the freedom of all the political prisoners. Let’s not think of rest, today, and celebrate the queer fêtes, in solidarity and actively.» (from Maja’s letter to her comrades in struggle, June 20th 2025)

The situation is serious. We need to act.

In solidarity with Maja, who has been on hunger strike for more than 18 days, during the night of June 22nd, during the days of antifascist actions, we left the words « FREE MAJA » on the facade of the Deutsche Bank agency in Märkischen Platz, Schwelm [town in north-west Germany near Wuppertal; Translator’s note], we reworked its showcases with stones and left some beautiful holes in the windows.

Watch out for Altametris drones! (France)

“An extra eye on the network”: how SNCF is using drones to monitor its railway tracks

Le Figaro, May 3, 2025

The rendezvous is at 11pm in the middle of nowhere, in an undisclosed location. There, on the eve of major departures for the long weekend, the SNCF is organizing a rather special surveillance operation, using a drone at the intersection of several high-speed railway lines. High-quality equipment resembling a small plane, capable of flying more than 100 meters above the ground and more than ten kilometers away from its pilot, making it invisible to even the sharpest eyes. Equipped with a thermal sensor and able to see “as in daylight” despite the advanced darkness, it can spot the slightest intruder as well as confirm that the catenaries and other technical installations are in a good condition. “The advantage of the drone is that it can monitor a large area in a very short time, and possibly detect anything abnormal,” explains SNCF Réseau’s Executive Vice President Projects, Maintenance and Operations Olivier Bancel.

The aim of this operation? To prevent the slightest risk in these tense times, but above all to communicate the SNCF’s ability to take advantage of new technologies to protect its 28,000 kilometers of track. As we watch, the exercise begins shortly before midnight, and the drone takes off. A few meters away, the aircraft spots an unmarked car in the vicinity of an SNCF critical juncture that, on the face of it, has no business being there. On the ground, the telepilot indicated this disturbing presence to the rail safety authorities, who immediately took over and sent a team to check it out. Five minutes later, the verdict was in: “all’s well”. “That’s the end of the exercise for us,” says railway safety officer Sébastien Conseil, team leader for the evening. Although this was just a practical exercise, the SNCF assures us that it carries out “doubt verification almost every time a drone is deployed”.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Intervention in two McDonald’s stores because of the company’s cooperation with Israel

Yesterday, Friday 6/6, we carried out interventions in two McDonald’s stores, in the Slaughterhouses area and in Finikas.

McDonald’s is a multinational company that chooses to have stores in areas of Israel that maintains an apartheid regime for the few Palestinians who live in them as second-class citizens, and is carrying out long-term genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and massacres in the occupied West Bank. In the past, and specifically in 2024, McDonald’s distributed free meals to the genocidal Israeli army (IDF), a political choice that they were forced to stop following international social pressure. The pressures we are trying to exert aim to increase opposition to the genocide in order to end it and ensure the victory of the Palestinians.

The text of the intervention give out follows:

In Solidarity to the struggle in the detention centre kloten. (Zurich, Switzerland)

In Solidarity to the struggle in the detention centre kloten.

Until every cage burns.

Statement from a solidarity assembly about events inside the Detention Center ZAA Kloten.

Within a month, two prisoners died in the Zurich extermination prison, followed by suicide attempts, fires and an 8-day hunger strike of 50 prisoners. The prisoners made demands, but their resistance has been ignored and individuals placed in isolation. Switzerland continues to promote proudly it’s detention and deportation policy. But as long as people are jailed for 18 months just because they’re “illegal,” resistance will continue to grow.We stand in solidarity with the resistance of the prisoners and fight on their side against the lethal extermination machinery.

For the abolition of the 18-month imprisonment!

For the abolition of the inhuman isolation cells in the prison!

For an immediate stop to all forced exploitation!

Athens,Greece: Victory for Maja T’s hunger strike by Marianna Manoura, Dimitra Z. (koridallos women prison)

Victory for Maja T’s hunger strike
by Marianna Manoura, Dimitra Z.

Responding to the call of the anti-fascist days of action (June 20-22), of the anti-fascist Maja T. who has been on hunger strike since June 5 in Hungarian prisons, we send our own signal of solidarity to their struggle. Two years ago, during the day of honour (anniversary of the mass extermination of Hungarians and German Nazis in 1945), a fascist rally-march took place in Budapest, where hundreds of neo-Nazis and fascists gathered. In response to this call, anti-fascists from Europe decided to return a part of the violence they produce to them.

The far-right Hungarian government began a series of arrests, openly supporting the fascists, with an inflated indictment of criminal organizations and inhumane conditions of confinement. Other European states cooperated, engaging in a series of deportations and persecutions. Germany played a leading role in characterizing the German anti-fascists persecuted by the Hungarian state as dangerous criminals, culminating in the overnight extradition of Maja T. Many of the individuals involved chose to go underground, refusing to surrender their freedom to either the German or Hungarian state. Maja T. was one of these people, until their arrest and extradition. Continue reading Athens,Greece: Victory for Maja T’s hunger strike by Marianna Manoura, Dimitra Z. (koridallos women prison)

Athens, Greece: Claim of responsibility for attacks on real estate agencies, Airbnb and My Flat buildings by Anarchists

Claim of responsibility for attacks on real estate agencies, Airbnb and My Flat buildings

In a world where all goods, material and non-material, are slowly being commodified in the most brutal and cynical way, it was only a matter of time before we saw a coordinated effort by the State and capital to transform our basic needs into class privileges.

Alongside the privatisation of electricity and water supplies, we are witnessing the invasion of large real estate investors in the centre of Athens, who are trading properties at an uncontrolled pace and these are basically included in short-term rental platforms. This has resulted in thousands of people being displaced from their homes either due to inability to cope with rent increases, or through evictions, or forced relocations as the owner chooses selling or Airbnb.

In short, in an attempt to squeeze every possible perspective of profit out of our neighbourhoods, houses are being converted into tourist accommodation and of course the local city is being reshaped to adapt to the new needs of the neighbourhood… Hipster shops of all kinds are springing up all around to sell the neighbourhood lifestyle to eager consumers while we see our squares and parks being choked with their shops and tables.
