In Tension is a journal acting as a place for anarchist analysis, dialogue, and reflection on activity that extends beyond single subcultures, issues, and social groups. Intended for people beginning to learn what anarchists are fighting and creating as well as people who have identified with anarchism for decades, In Tension is a way for us to talk to each other and report actions, issues, and intiatives that are otherwise under- or un-reported. We are interested in promoting the practice of doing things for ourselves and connecting our struggles locally, regionally, and internationally. In Tension also functions as an archive of sorts, a way to foster collective remembering.

In Tension is published in so-called Bloomington, Indiana each season. We welcome submissions of actions, events, and analysis from different perspectives that hold true to an anti-authoritarian, anti-state, and liberatory lens. Continue reading In Tension – an anarchist agitation zine. (USA)

P0rt0 Al3gre. For Sara and Sandro at the Italian Consulate. (Brazil)

P0rt0 Al3gre. For Sara and Sandro at the Italian Consulate.

The affinity we share and expand is in large part realised by our confrontation with power, which we communicate through actions, calls, responses, and reflections that spur us on to further action. That affinity also comes, and deeply so, from tenderness between comrades, which is one of the forces that drives us to act, so that they feel that in the anarchist struggle, we are here too!

Support and participate in the defense of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika in Athens and the self-organized restoration of the neighborhood (Greece)

In the heart of Athens, the  Community of Squatted Prosfygika has hosted, sheltered, fed, and supported thousands of people over the past 15 years. It is one of the largest self-organized and liberated neighborhoods in Europe.

The Community is becoming stronger, but so is the repression. Currently, Prosfygika is under threat of attack and eviction. Over the past decade, this is the fiths time that the state and the region have attempted to evict and loot Prosfygika. This time, the threat seems the most serious and is about to be executed immediately.

Criminal or association? Charges dropped against one of the three accused in the Munich “Zündlumpen” case . (Germany)

Criminal or association? Charges dropped against one of the three accused in the Munich “Zündlumpen” case

Once again yellow envelopes fly into the mailboxes of anarchists in Munich. This time without the spirited ramblings of our favorite General SA employee Firoozi (or rather we seem to be her favorites). Instead this time it is the association “VRIOLG Dr. Stoll” & Co., from the higher court of Munich, that has honored some anarchists with their text. More than three months after the judicial association Himmelstoß & Co. declined to reopen the “Zündlumpen” case in the Staatsschutz (SS) chamber, due to a lack of evidence connecting one of the accused to the publishing of “Zündlumpen,” and after General SA Firoozi appealed the decision, the higher court of Munich has finally graced us with their decision.

About the raids at the anarchist library Kalabalik and the widespread wave of repression in Berlin

Early in the morning of March 24, 2026, the time had come once again. The doors of 17 buildings in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, and Kyritz were kicked in by a squad of masked figures who descended upon the people sleeping there, or, as in our case, upon bookshelves and newspaper archives. Reason for the violent wake-up call by the Berlin LKA, this time, was an arson attack last September on the power supply to the Adlershof Technology Park, which resulted in a widespread blackout. They’re looking for evidence to finally prove all the mental acrobatics of the investigation team “Spannung” [tension] to back up their hallucinated theories. This is at least what can be inferred from the search warrant presented, which was approved by enforcement judge Jacob. The places targeted were Infoladen Scherer8, L5 Späti, and several private apartments, and, as has happened several times in the past, the Anarchist Library Kalabalik in Kreuzberg.

All good things come in threes?

You might remember back in 2018 government snoops were already after something big. It was reported that folks wearing reggae hats had put up posters asking for help tracking down the politicians responsible for the 2017 G20 summit in Hamburg, as well as some of their particularly eager goons. They were also on the hunt for posters featuring photos of plainclothes cops.

Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in Damage to Concordia in Response to Repression (Canada)

A week of student strikes having just ended, this is a claim for a series of direct actions that spanned the course of the past two years including three nocturnal attacks. Pieces of Concordia University infrastructure were destroyed at a variety of sites. Based on their own estimates these damages cost the school hundreds of thousands of dollars.

These attacks were not done because of Concordia’s investments or ties. This was all done because of their attempts to pound their students into submission. These nocturnal attacks are being announced to erase any doubt in the simple minds of the university administrators who will do anything and waste all their money and resources just to chase after some authoritarian fantasy of an obedient consumer-student, administrators who have minds that are obsessed with their own ideologies, who live in echo chambers where their rich friends cheer them on and leave them out to dry when they see no results, and who throw tantrums when their perfect vision of order is disturbed time and time again despite the money they have wasted on their peanut-brained private security apparatus.

Ampelokipoi Case – 3rd Hearing – 04/03/2026 (detailed report)

The day began with the examination of the remaining witness for the prosecution. The witness is the owner of apartment C7. In response to questions from the presiding chamber, he estimated the total damage to his apartment at between 5,000 and 10,000 euros. He also stated that the issue of structural stability may have been raised by TERNA, without them having been provided with a copy of any technical report. The witness does not know who commissioned the TEE report or who handled the procedures for issuing the building permit. The witness confirmed that there are open shops on the ground floor of the apartment building and expressed the opinion that, theoretically, there is a structural stability issue in the event of an earthquake.

He also confirmed that the crew working on the restoration of the apartment building is small.

In response to the chairman’s questions regarding whether the residents had collectively taken any action toward the authorities, the witness replied that there is a difficulty in communication. Continue reading Detailed report of Ampelokipi Case – 3rd Hearing – April 3, 2026 (Athens,Greece)

From Napoli to Athens, solidarity is our common language-Ogni sgombero, una barricata (Italy,Napoli)

In central Athens, there is a squatted community were over 400 people from 27 different regions, speaking 20 different languages live together. They have managed to create their own self-organized reality building more than 20 infrastructures to take care of their health, education, culture. In June 2025, this community received new threats of eviction. However, what the extreme right wing government of Kiriakos Mitsotakis does not understand is that inside these 8 buildings there is so much more than walls and property titles.

Neos Kosmos area in Athens – Claim of Responsibility for arson attack on a Violanta company van (Greece)

Excerpt of the Claim of Responsibility for arson attack on a Violanta company van by Anarchist Core “Fantasy Optimism Risk”

In the early hours of 31/03, we placed an incendiary device on a Violanta company van on Baknana Street in Neos Kosmos as a minimal response to the murder of 5 workers at the Violanta factory.

The death of the 5 workers and the injury of 7 other workers after the powerful explosion that took place at the Violanta factory in Trikala on January 26th adds to the huge mosaic of bosses’ murders by the state and capital. Agapi Bounova, Vasiliki Skampardoni, Elena Katsarou, Stavroula Boukouvala, Anastasia Nasiou were murdered. Their names must remain alive in everyone’s memory as murdered members of our class.

[Heraklion, Crete] : Attack at the offices of ANEK Lines at the centre of the city of Heraklion by Anarchists ( Greece)

Attack at the offices of ANEK Lines at the centre of the city of Heraklion by Anarchists 

The tragic events at the “Violanda” factory in Trikala and off the coast of Chios island are, in the harshest possible way, evidence of the bosses’ brutal capitalist exploitation and of the murderous/racist policies of the Greek state at the borders.

In recent years, the Greek state and Greek capitalists have been
pursuing a policy of all-out attack on the country’s social base, with
criminal and deadly consequences. Some of these have shaken it to its core and left a deep scar on its collective consciousness. Continue reading [Heraklion, Crete] : Attack at the offices of ANEK Lines at the centre of the city of Heraklion by Anarchists ( Greece)

Athens, Greece: Arson Attack on the Home of the Snitch Dean of NTUA and a Riot Police Officer

National Gendarmerie of Athens

In the early hours of March 25, we attacked with an incendiary device the building where the dean of the NTUA, Panagiotis Tsanakas, as well as a riot police officer, live in the area of Zografou. Our research on the chief snitch of the academic rabble of the Polytechnic brought us in front of a simultaneously special but poetically explainable coincidence. A snitch and a cop work and live together, a touching image to say the least.

Tsanakas is not simply the tsuchiki [contemptuous address for a person we consider vile and insignificant] of Hadjigeorgiou (rector of NTUA) but as the culmination of his “academic” work he has shamelessly handed over to the police a student who was writing slogans in favor of the Palestinian people on the school grounds. However, he has a deeper and more essential role in Hadjigeorgiou’s police-held monstrosity, of a rectory that allows/imposes the daily presence and the scolding of cops on campus in full compliance and obedience to the dictates of the ND doctrine for absolute control and essentially the necrosis of student and subversive struggles on university campuses. A rectorate that we have lost count of how many times has ordered the invasion of the repressive forces on the university grounds, with a particular “sensitivity” when it comes to those in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.

Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger” (Athens, Greece)

Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

In March, none of us shall die (March 2010, Daphne – Lambros Fountas, an anarchist guerrilla who fell in a clash with cops) – (March 2026, outskirts of Rome – Sara Ardizone and Sandro Mercoliano, anarchist comrades who were killed by an explosion)

In October, none of us shall die (October 2024, Ampelokipi, Athens – Kyriakos Xymitiris, anarchist guerrilla killed by explosion)

In May, none of us shall die (May 2025, Thessaloniki – Snizanna Paraskevaidou, fell in an explosion during an attack on a bank)

And the story continues like this. Through the battles of our own people, simple, everyday. Like Lambros, like Kyriakos, like Snizanna, like Sandro and Sara and so many more people who lost their lives in direct action.

Lukáš Borl – March 2026 (Czech Republic)

I have finally been acquitted of several criminal charges brought against me by the police on the basis of dubious speculation. The acquittal ruling states:

(…) the court finds that no evidence was presented that would lead to the identification of the perpetrator, and thus to the proof of the defendant’s guilt. The defendant’s guilt has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, as required by Section 2(5) of the Criminal Procedure Code. These doubts are fundamental, logical, and insurmountable, as the expert opinions confirmed that the perpetrator cannot be identified by any scientific method.”

What made this court case unusual was that the prosecutor tried to use my book “Tato kniha není (z)boží” (This Book Is Not a Commodity) against me However, the court ultimately ruled that this book does not constitute evidence.
