Last Monday, the zealous mouthpieces of the Bavarian prefecture were a little disoriented in their reports of the Sunday news. Whereas the first weekend of December had been marked by snowfalls that temporarily blocked rail and air traffic in Munich, the following weekend saw heat spikes that were as sudden as they were unusual. The fires were anything but accidental, and came at the very beginning of winter, putting a number of structures of domination out of action.
Without an image, without a word, and in three different places: in the Forstenrieder forest to the south-west of the city, in the Perlach forest further south, and also right in the middle of Munich, under a bridge spanning the Isar river. In the first two cases which were a bit more rural, as one major regional newspaper put it, “it would be a huge coincidence if two heavy, bulky and expensive forestry machines far apart from each other were to catch fire at the same time due to technical faults”. In each case, it was a tree feller – a machine costing 500,000 euros apiece to cut, delimb and chop down trees in no time at all – that went up in flames under the stars.
Territorial Action by Matías Catrileo Propaganda Group
On January 6 in the Las Araucarias, Los Copihues neighborhood we, the Matías Catrileo Propaganda Group, carried out a territorial takeover, moving in the neighborhood that marked 54 years since its creation under the name Popular Unity Occupation. We gave out pamphlets, zines and information that highlight the importance of direct action and territorial self organization as valid and necessary means to retake our lives, just as Matías taught us.
There are many examples across history that show us how, from a place of autonomy and direct action, that create other ways of inhabiting this world in the here and now. Land occupations constitute one of the most effective forms to solve, in a direct way, a problem as large as access to housing, as well as empowering the revolutionary struggle, creating fertile spaces to carry out revolutionary processes.
On January 3 in different parts of the territory controled by the State of Chile, barricades were raised and confrontations took place in a new commemoration (No.16) of the comrade Matías Catrileo, who in a context of territorial recuperation and reclamation, was assassinated in the ex-plantation Santa Margarito by lance corporal Walter Ramírez Inostroza.
Milan,Windows of the estate agency RE/MAX smashed in solidarity with the Palestinian people the night between the 23rd and the 24th of January we smashed the windows of a Re Max estate agency in Milan.
The Re Max estate agents is an accomplice of the Israeli occupation in the Palestinian territory, selling houses in the settlements, with its business affairs in the territories stolen from the Palestinian people it is extracting profit and staining itself with blood.
The companies that collaborate and support the Israeli apartheid are many and are present here in our city. Sabotage also starts from here! In the attack on the accomplices of Israel.

Update from the Defense Actions of the Evacuated Anarchist Steki Utopia AD
February 8, 2024
A few hours after today’s evacuation of the Utopia AD Anarchist Steki, an open assembly was held in which a multitude of solidarity people were informed about the situation. As a first movement, a reflective march of 60 people poured into the city center, with a strong pulse and writing slogans. It should be noted that although the university security guards were instructed to call the police, the presence of police forces was non-existent throughout the protests.
The march ended outside the vacated hangout, where the next moves were discussed. We believe that the evacuation of the place is a continuation of the state attack on the occupied law school and the bringing in of 18 students, of which 12 turned into arrests. The main people responsible for the repressive operations are the rector Fotis Maris and the dean of the law school, Michalis Chrysomallis. Neither of them, however, has so far taken responsibility for the organization of the above actions.
We, on the one hand, call on the rector’s authority, if it has a trace of dignity, to stop shifting its responsibilities elsewhere, on the other hand, we assure that we will not choose the path of silence

The Greek state has completely systematized racism. The institutional form of racism dominates the public sphere in ways and practices fed by a particular audience. Thus racism is adopted by states and unfolds through their institutions. Even fascist practices that have always run parallel with the state are being so faithfully implemented by the latter in many cases that even fascist groups are taking on new forms.
Institutionalized violence against migrants includes concentration camps, border killings, pushbacks, asymmetric border “wars” (such as the Evros border). Racism and xenophobia are not just current phenomena, but have existed in the Greek state for many decades. Nevertheless, as we see globally, the intensity of the war against immigrants has intensified and deepened. On the one hand, labour needs are changing compared to other decades, but on the other, having broken whatever social contract that may have existed in the past, states are present to provide repression, policing and national ideology.

These days, nostalgia strikes, longing for that enveloping air of the streets upon awakening in these cells. It’s already going on 12 months since the GOPE kicked down different doors of the various spaces in which we moved or had entered at some point.
From the bottom of our hearts, we lament that the bastard police exposed those beautiful little beings to so much violence, and that their eyes saw their despicable uniforms and weapons that were at the ready when they found and captured Aldo, so far the only one accused for the explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie of $hile, and Lucas, accused for possession of various weapons and explosives.
