Heraklion, Crete, Greece: Arson Attack Against the Tax Office

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

In the morning of 20/12/22 it was announced on the radio that early in the morning a huge fire broke out in the Heraklion Tax Office following an arson attack. After several hours the fire brigade managed to extinguish the fire but the damage to the logistical infrastructure and the building is estimated at tens of thousands of euros.

You who are reading these lines, stop for a moment and ask yourself if your life is a life worth living as a human being. If the answer is no, then you ought to seek out those responsible for dictating your life and undermining your dignity. Evictions of first home owners at the crack of dawn, with armed forces of cops carrying out the vile entreaties of their bosses, taxes, sky-high rents, inflated electricity bills, food and fuel shortages, meagre wages, uninsured work, half pay and bonuses that get returned to the hands of the bosses, cut pensions and a broken health care system. All of this adds up to a suffocating daily life in which you have no time to live.

There are many voices of reaction and more, but all kinds of exploiters make sure to silence and suppress them as much as they can. Whether it is the upgrading of the penal code, the law on “football supporter violence”, cameras everywhere, entry/exit barriers on public transport and in schools, the ban on strikes and demonstrations, terror laws, inspections, fines, thugs, raids, threats, beatings, staged trials, detentions, punitive sentences, deportations of immigrants, torture, murders and much more.

Heraklion, Crete, Greece: Responsibility claim for paint/stone attack on New Democracy office & hammer attack on Ministry of Justice audit conference in solidarity with anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis

Posted on 2022/07/12 by darknights

“We are not going to reach anarchy today or tomorrow or in ten centuries, we are just going to march towards anarchy today, tomorrow and forever.”

Errico Malatesta

On 23/5 the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis starts a hunger strike demanding his release from prison. Having served 3/5 of his sentence, under the laws of civil justice he should be free from the shackles of the state.

This attack on Michailidis is not an isolated attack but is part of a generalised attack by the state on political prisoners and militants who deviate from the framework it imposes.

After 49 days of hunger strike, the comrade’s health has reached a dangerous state. The culprits for any possible harm suffered by Michailidis are the government of the New Democracy as well as the judicial and prosecutorial authorities who are counting twice the rejection of his request for release.

For the above reasons, we chose to attack on Friday 8/7 at dawn the offices of New Democracy with paint and stones as well as the Ministry of Justice audit conference with sledgehammers, thus showing our practical solidarity with comrade Michailidis.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF COMRADE GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS

STATE AND CAPITAL ARE THE ONLY TERRORISTS

SOLIDARITY IS OUR WEAPON

SOLIDARITY WITH THE POLITICAL PRISONERS WHO HAVE BEGUN A HUNGER STRIKE IN SOLIDARITY WITH GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS

Rethymno, Greece: Responsibility claim for attack on court

Posted on 2022/02/10 by darknights

On 9/2, comrades Stathopoulos and Hadjivassiliadis are tried in the second instance. At the same time we do not forget H. Mantzourides who is being tortured in the psycho cells of Korydallos.

Of course we do not expect any justice from the judges and their informers but we remain in solidarity with every political prisoner. The only answer to the culture of incarceration is to attack until we see prisoners of war on the street again. We therefore take responsibility for the attack with stones and paint at the court of Rethymno in the morning of 9/2 as a minimal sign of solidarity with every insurgent and every person who walks on the road of illegality.

NEVER TO BE TAMED

TO ATTACK THE WORKPLACE, THE COURTS, THE STREETS

FIRST AND ALWAYS FOR ANARCHY

Chania, Greece: Taking responsibility for attack on the offices of ‘Elliniki Lisi’ (Greek Solution)

Posted on 2021/08/29 - 2021/08/29 by darknights

In the morning of Wednesday 18/08 we attacked the local offices of ‘Elliniki Lisi’ (Greek Solution, a far-right Greek political party) on the street Konstantinoupoleos, in Chania, breaking the glass in the front of the building.

As anarchists we have stood against all forms of power, the greatest being the state and its branches. The state, inextricably linked to the bourgeoisie, uses a wide range of mechanisms of control and repression to maintain itself and impose itself.These means, whether they involve “self-control” (religion, morality) or repressive mechanisms (cops, laws, the judicial system), have a single purpose: complete individual repression ‘Elliniki Lisi’ ‘ like every party body, is another pawn of this system.

K. Velopoulos, intertwined with the fascist branches of the Nea Demokratia (New Democracy Party), returned to the prostrate to complete the “puzzle” of the state apparatus. Giving another step to the domestic petty bourgeoisie, he expresses and reproduces, on a daily basis, social stereotypes and prejudices against minorities, based on ethnic, gender and religious characteristics. Chania, as a deeply middle-class and tourist city (the seed of the Mitsotakis family) with strong localism, gentility and national habituation, is the perfect environment for a culture and normality like this to flourish and be maintained.

As enemies of all normality, we attack in many ways, with the aim of attacking it, but also of propagating our political discourse through action.

ALWAYS AGAINST THE STATE AND FASCISTS.

TO BREAK THE VENEER OF NORMALITY.

CRUSH THE FASCISTS IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD.
