Claim of responsibility for sabotaging the railway line against the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics (Rome, 13 February 2026)
Rome – Claim of responsibility for sabotaging the railway line against the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics
Fire to the Olympics! No travelling today!
On the night of the 13th February, at various points and railway junctions, we set fire to and damaged the cables along the tracks, effectively blocking several high-speed lines.
These actions are our contribution to the warm welcome and best wishes for this edition of the Winter Olympic Games.
We participated in massive road and port blockades during the months of mobilisation for Palestine, we invaded stations and attacked the police whenever possible. But today we chose to act under the cover of moonlight, in a small group united by affinity and the desire to live up to the slogans shouted in recent months: let’s block everything!
Because we believe that, in addition to participating in large mobilisations and the conflict they can generate, it is necessary to spread autonomous action, so as not to let them be defused, recuperated and directed by the professionals of “militant” politics.
The powers that be are preparing for war, and we anarchists, revolutionaries and conscious individuals would like to do the same. The railway infrastructure is a key hub for the movement of military forces and materials, and the agreement between RFI and Leonardo, aimed at implementing military logistics on the peninsula, is the clearest example of this. Attacking RFI is therefore a concrete act of anti-militarism and a gesture of solidarity with all those who today suffer the atrocities of war and colonialism.
The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics are no exception: rivers of money fueling construction speculation, happy to arm rivers of concrete to build disposable facilities and change the social “intended use” of entire working-class neighbourhoods. A big business that, behind the glossy and prestigious image of the major sporting event, hides hectares of larch forests razed to the ground to make way for ski slopes and mountains irreversibly disfigured by the associated ski lifts.
Finally, this action expresses our anger at the presence at the Games of ICE agents, the anti-immigrant squads now sadly notorious for murders, round-ups, abuse and violence perpetrated against undesirables and internal opponents in the United States, which reminds us that every police force and every fascist group is there to be used against its own population when “reasons of state” require it.
Only a few ingredients are needed to take action against the world of exploitation, oppression and devastation: a little study, caution and determination in equal measure, a few accomplices, a few litres of fuel… and anything is possible! Good luck!
