CALL TO ACTION

AUGUST 11th – 17th 2024

WORLDWIDE WEEK OF ACTION

AGAINST THE NORTH BOTHNIA LINE IN SÁPMI

Why aiming at this beast?

This is a call to action against the North Bothnia Line, a railway just beginning to be built along the coast of Swedish-occupied Sápmi. This project is a continuation of several hundred years of brutal colonization of the peoples and lands in Sápmi. Extractive industries are thriving on the increased demand for raw materials following the so-called “green transition”. This makes them continually stress the importance and urgency of the train line. So do the Swedish State and the European Union.

The track will be used for both passenger and freight trains. But the true reasons behind the project becomes quite obvious when reading the list of financiers, and also by reading the North Bothnia Line Group’s project leader Elisabeth Sinclair’s statement that “[a]lthough the passenger traffic between the coastal cities is important, it is the goods that are the basis of the North Bothnia Line”.

(IT, EN) Rinviata al 10 ottobre l’udienza preliminare del procedimento per la manifestazione del 28 gennaio 2023 a Trastevere (Italy)

Preliminary hearing of the proceedings for the January 28th, 2023, demonstration in Trastevere postponed to October 10th

On July 4th, 2024, the preliminary hearing for the committal for trial of 13 comrades accused, in complicity, of resisting a public official and carrying weapons or objects designed to cause offence, with numerous aggravating circumstances, was held at the ordinary court of Rome, in piazzale Clodio. The hearing was postponed to Thursday, October 10th, due to lack of notification. At the council chamber, which ‘in theory’ does not provide for the participation of outsiders in addition to the judge, court employees, the public prosecutor and the investigated persons, several members of the ROS (Raggruppamento Operativo Speciale, ‘Special Operational Grouping’) of Carabinieri and police units showed up instead. We reiterate the rightness of the reasons of that demonstration and the sacrosanct anger it expressed.

Rinviata al 10 ottobre l’udienza preliminare del procedimento per la manifestazione del 28 gennaio 2023 a Trastevere

Il 4 luglio 2024 si è tenuta al tribunale ordinario di Roma, in piazzale Clodio, l’udienza preliminare per il rinvio a giudizio di 13 compagni accusati, in concorso, di resistenza a pubblico ufficiale e di porto d’armi od oggetti atti a offendere, con numerose circostanze aggravanti, che si è conclusa con un rinvio dell’udienza stessa a giovedì 10 ottobre, per difetto di notifica. Alla camera di consiglio, che non prevede “in teoria” la partecipazione d’estranei oltre le parti, si sono invece presentati diversi esponenti del ROS dei carabinieri e di reparti di polizia. Ribadiamo la giustezza delle ragioni di quella piazza e la rabbia sacrosanta che ha espresso.

Call of Gathering in solidarity with the anarchist Andreas F. (Athens,Greece)

On 22/4/24 the anarchist comrade Andreas F. is kidnapped by the State security and anti-terrorist forces, armed cops invade his house in the city of Patras for a second time for investigation.

From petty supermarket theft… to  ”terrorist organization” in the second act of the police terrorist cell of the E.L.A.S. [Greek police headquarters] the comrade is transferred to Athens, interrogated and, according to the anti-terrorism law (187A), accused of being a member of “ conspiracy of revenge” and the natural instigator of its action. Finally, on 26/4, the investigator and the prosecutor decide to keep him in custody in the prison of Amfissa.

In the face of the fear that tries to spread through vindictiveness in the face of Andreas, but also in the face of his comrades, our response has always been and will always be the same: non-negotiable support for his political stance and his anarchist identity, solidarity in this difficult struggle that begins, this time from within the walls of the prison. Until we meet again in the next struggles we will fight. Andrea, strong, until freedom.

Gathering in solidarity with the anarchist Andreas F. who is called for additional interrogation.

Athens, Evelpidon Courts (building 10) – Friday 12/7 9:30 a.m.

The second issue of the insurrectionary / nihilist anarchist newspaper”Blessed Is The Flame”, originally published in 8 July 2024 in Greek, has now been translated in English. By doing so, we hold the ambition that this newspaper can become an international effort, bringing together all the direct action reports, statements and texts of comrades, and news about the struggles of anarchist prisoners that are scattered across the world, divided by language and communication barriers.

We make a call to any willing comrades around the world to assist us in translating the newspaper in other languages as well and diseminate it both digitally and physically; the document was designed to be easily printable as a A5-size booklet. Ideally, we would like to suggest an international collaboration between counter-information projects from all corners of the world, defying the recent repression efforts of various states who want to put an end to the diffusion of the ideas and practices of the anarchy of action.

Sabotage, Arsons Attacks

La Tronche/Grenoble (Isère): cutting the juice from this world (France)

Grenoble metropolitan area: transformers set on fire, homes without electricity

France Bleu, June 13, 2024

Firefighters responded to several fires on the night of Wednesday June 12 to Thursday June 13 in the Grenoble metropolitan area. In La Tronche, but also near the Grand’Place shopping center in Grenoble, where several stores were without power. An investigation has been opened by the Grenoble public prosecutor’s office, and entrusted to the criminal investigation department, as the destruction of these two electrical substations is reminiscent of the wave of fires in Grenoble in recent years.

In fact, according to Grenoble public prosecutor Eric Vaillant, “the near-simultaneity of the fires at the two transformers, located some ten kilometers apart, suggests sabotage by the libertarian ultra-left. No claims have yet been made, but they aren’t always claimed.

A first fire on an electrical transformer broke out on avenue du Grand Sablon in La Tronche at 1.20 a.m., leaving 80 households without power. Enedis set up temporary generators at 8 a.m. to supply power to the nearby funeral home. These generators will provide power to the affected households until the work is completed. The work could last several days and cost several tens of thousands of euros.

Rome, Italy: Demonstration of 28 January 2023 at Trastevere: 4th of July the preliminary hearing of the proceedings

July 4th is the date of the preliminary hearing of the proceedings for the events of piazza Trilussa and Trastevere, in Rome, of 28 January, 2023.

On that day the indictment concerning the 13 comrades accused of resisting a public official and of carrying weapons or objects likely to offend, with numerous aggravating circumstances, will be requested. We recall that at the time of the events the anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito had been on hunger strike for 101 days against 41 bis and a life sentence without appeal. That Saturday afternoon a demonstration in solidarity was called in piazza Trilussa, in Rome, which the police forces decided to surround and provoke. However that evening the plans did not go as foreseen in the offices of the police, with a part of the demonstrators remaining outside the encirclement and the police forces ending up in the grip of those whom they wanted to provoke.

Munich (Germany): ghosts continue to haunt the night

Munich, ghosts continue to haunt the night    

Around 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday night, April 4, Munich firefighters were alerted to a major blaze in the Meillerweg district, just a few hundred meters from the Maximilianeum, the historic seat of the Bavarian State Parliament. On the scene, they discovered four pieces of construction equipment being consumed by flames: a backhoe, two wheel loaders and a Unimog (a small Mercedes all-terrain utility truck).

Except that this is not just any old place, because in addition to being a stone’s throw from the Palace of the Rulers of the Kingdom of Bavaria, it’s also the construction site for the second main line of the capital’s S-Bahn subway system. To be more precise, it involved relocating a district heating pipe to build a relief shaft from the railway tunnel. The four machines, located far apart, were completely destroyed, with damage running into six figures. The Bavarian Central Office for Combating Extremism and Terrorism (ZET) and the “Raute” investigation group were on the scene with sniffer dogs and forensic police.

Fortunately for them, the minions of law and order have a serious lead, as revealed by a major regional newspaper a few weeks later (Süddeutsche Zeitung, May 10): it’s probably ghosts, perhaps escaped from Ludwig II’s famous castle at Neuschwanstein (but on this last point, the cops are less formal).Let’s be the judge, since with this latest sabotage against the subway construction site, investigators are now attributing some 30 destructive attacks to Munich’s ghosts, causing at least 20 million euros worth of damage: “They set fire to power lines and construction equipment, telecoms antennas and electric vehicles; railroads are also the target of their attacks, as are geothermal pipelines. The identity of the perpetrators and their origins remain a mystery. Like ghosts, they leave no exploitable trace and no statement claiming the action. Who has an interest in attacking the critical infrastructure of Greater Munich? This is the question security services have been asking themselves since the series of attacks began at least three years ago.The damage caused so far is approaching the €20 million mark.”

Central Greece : Αgainst the destruction of central Evia

 

Αgainst the destruction of central Evia

At this moment, the State and investors are planning the looting of the last piece of green in central Evia. In particular, Ellaktor of Vardinogianni and the Portuguese multinational EDP Renewables are planning to place 86 wind turbines in the mountainous green areas of Dirfyos, Xerovouni, the Kotylaia Mountains and the Euboean Olympus. In fact, following the recent rejection by the ΑΠΕ of the appeal made by residents and associations of Evia, the implementation of this project is just around the corner.

Mountains of Euboean Olympus

Green Repower, the company of the forestor – sometimes also investor(!) – Eleftherios Karapidakis, is a company preparing environmental impact studies of Development & Evaluation of RES Projects. The specific subject has signed studies for a series of disastrous “green” investments throughout the Greek region, such as Evia, Agrafa, Boeotia, serving his personal benefit as well as those of his bosses.
