The gentrification and privatisation of our neighbourhoods and, by extension, our lives is a phenomenon that has been strongly observed in recent years. A glaring example of this condition is the luxury restaurant called Green Park. The problem starts with the fact that big business owners dare to set up their little shops with their well-polished windows in areas where people are unable to pay their rent. They thus ostentatiously attract apolitical gentlemen and bourgeois who drive around in their luxury vehicles and entertain themselves behind bouncers and unpaid waitresses. The above were even the dumbstruck audience of Greece’s most famous clown, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, at this establishment. By extension, Green Park, has been an important factor in the wider redevelopment of the Areos Park, which includes private security, fixed opening hours and cameras. Not tolerating the situation, we attacked the restaurant en masse, destroying all the glass panes of its frontage. Unfortunately, however, at the time of the attack, the restaurant was closed, so we were unable to hit either the well-heeled bourgeois or the bouncers who “faithfully” guard the entrance of the restaurant and the posh vehicles of the customers. As anarchist subjects, we urge people in all neighborhoods to systematically take similar and more upscale actions and defend public spaces.
IF WE DON’T RESIST, ALL OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WILL BECOME MODERN PRISONS.
