May 19, 2023 is the date set for the beginning of the trial against the anarchist comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar accused of various attacks on power and the powerful. We call to unleash anarchist solidarity in the face of this new judicial lynching that the comrades will face.
Solidarity with Monica and Francisco!

Appeal sentence for Juan (Venice, March 28, 2023)
We report that last March 28 our Juanito, sentenced in first instance to 28 years in prison for an action against the League’s headquarters in Villorba (TV) in 2018, had his sentence reduced to 14 years and 10 months by the Venice appeals court. This is still a very high sentence for an action that-beyond the intentions of the anonymous attackers-did not result in any deaths or injuries.
Full solidarity with Juan!

Tired of being silent, tired of seeing systematic violence every day through racism, sexism and waged labor that take place in society, whose essential values are authority and profit. Sick of exploitation we see all political parties as main responsible, as they repress freedom with the state, reformist and repressive apparatus (TV, the mass-media, associations, the army, the civil protection, etc.) The state and capital are the biggest criminals, they even violate their own laws, they steal through taxes, they kill through wars and waged labor, rejections of migrants’ boats in the sea, concentration camps for immigrants in Europe and Africa, they contaminate irreversibly men, animals and the entire planet, all for their profit and power.
Let’s not forget the hypocritical complicity of society made of citizens who pretend not to see the horrors of present and past racism and nationalism. This acceptance is the pillar of totalitarianism and democracy: in the course of time the authority based on indifference, fear, apathy was able to create Gulags and nazi concentration camps, and today the concentration camps in Libya and outside our homes. It’s history that repeats itself. Continue reading “Venice, Italy: Appeal ruling in the trial of anarchist Juan Sorroche: comrade sentenced to 14 years and 10 months”
Voronezh
On 15.02. trains on the Lipetsk line “changed the schedule” at night. The reason – partisans destroyed signalling systems units.
Moscow region .
On February 16, 02 in Yuzhnoe Chertanovo several guerrillas smashed the windows of a Mercedes car with Z-symbols parked in the yard, cut the car up, presumably with an axe, and poured blue paint over the interior.
No one was detained as a result of the action.
Krymsk .
On February 16, the small town of the military airbase in Krymsk was without communication. Guerrillas destroyed the mobile and Internet communications station in the area. Expensive equipment was burned down.
Kaliningrad
On 18.02 eight young guerrillas, all between 15-17 years old, set fire to a relay cabinet, which resulted in a standstill on the railroad.
Unfortunately, all the participants were detained by the police. A criminal case has been opened for intentional destruction or damage to property. The authorities claim that the group was led by 15-year-old Ruslan and that the young guerrillas were acting “on orders from Ukraine”. Such statements by the authorities are made quite often, especially when it comes to very young or very old partisans or people belonging to the lower social strata. What is behind such claims in each particular case, and whether anything is worthwhile at all, we are likely to find out only when the Russian regime is destroyed.
Irkutsk Region
On 18.02 an unknown person tried to set fire to the administration building in Bokhan. Unfortunately, the administration building of the settlement did not burn down, as it was made of brick and lined with metal siding. The attempted arson was noticed by a security guard when he was watching the video surveillance cameras. He called the police, and forensics gathered the remaining evidence. Looking for the arsonist
Cherkessk
On 20.02, unknown offenders tracked down Arbitration Court judge Salpogarov and deputy head of the Treasury of the Russian Federation Elpakanov by car, attacked them with bats, threw them on the ground and beat them up. Elkanov was taken in a serious condition to the hospital. Salpagarov “received less serious injuries.”
The attackers are being sought and hopefully they will not be found.

The police station of Huechuraba after the explosionBefore the preparation of the trial against Mónica and Francisco
On March 14, 2023 a series of hearings will begin in the so-called preparation for the oral trial against the anarchist comrades Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar. In this instance, which we expect to last a month, it will be decided which evidence will be brought to trial and which will not.
Both are accused of the explosive attack against the Tánica Building in the midst of the revolt (2020), while Francisco is accused of sending explosive packages against former Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpetter and the 54th police station (2019). The prosecution requests 30 years in prison against Monica and 129 against Francisco.
The comrades will be taken from the San Miguel prison and the Rancagua prison to the justice center for the first hearing, from then on, they will face this judicial instance telematically.
In this next step of the judicial process, it is still more necessary than ever to leave aside victimist speeches to open debates on the vindication and legitimacy of political violence in all its scales, not only from the applause in the box but from the concrete support and solidarity to those who face justice for such actions.
Without any room for indifference: Solidarity and complicity with those who attack the powerful and repressors!
Monica and Francisco to the streets!
Anarchist and subversive prisoners to the streets!

On March 9, just before the day changed to 10, the day on which 13 years ago in Dafni, the short revolutionary Lambros Fountas was killed in an exchange of fire with cops, we placed a device1 in a branch of Eurobank on Papanikoli Street in Halandri.
Walking alongside or in the turmoil of the days we decided to make our statement as combatants of the social war. Apart from the timeless and undeniable symbolism of attacking a bank, we cannot fail to mention the fact that this bank, apart from being located in one of the most central nodes of Halandri, is only two blocks away from the police station of the area.
Because memory is not rubbish and the struggle against oblivion is a struggle for freedom we attempted to contribute to the aggravation of the social war. A war that the state is fighting, either indifferently, as in the case of Tempi, or by targeting, as in the case of the poverty-stricken Fragoulis and Sampanis2. Of course, in this field our own side could not fail to count losses, such as that of our comrade and member of the revolutionary organisation EA [Επαναστατικός Αγώνας, Revolutionary Struggle] , Lambros Fountas.
In no way can the Tempi incident be equated with the military choice of the state to attack the oppressed in general, let alone the deeply ideological choice of eliminating a strategic enemy of the state who fell bleeding from the fire of the cop killers in a preparatory action of the organisation. The comrade with his actions gave flesh and bones to the slogan “Fear must change sides” which is the political issue of our days, accepting and accepting the all-out attack of the state and capital, we are called to change the correlations and fight back.
To make fear change sides
To honour the memory of our own dead by attacking every symbol of sovereignty. To attack state and capitalist targets by taking revenge for every moment of oppression for our own fallen in the social war, a war that is raging and will continue to rage and can only be won.

The media scum are claiming it was a ‘Γκαζάκι’ Gazaki, when camping stove gas cannisters are used alongside petrol & even sometimes a firecracker plus a rudementary delayed fuse. Even sometimes smaller versions are thrown during riots in Greece, like an explosive molotov.
Side by side. Rally in solidarity with Juan Sorroche ahead of the appeal trial (Venice, March 25, 2023)
SIDE BY SIDE
War is no longer declared/ but continued. The unprecedented/ has become daily.
After sentencing Alfredo Cospito to death, the government deliberately lets dozens of migrants drown.
Next March 28, the appeal trial (with possible sentencing) against fellow anarchist Juan Sorroche will be held in Venice. In the first instance Juan had been sentenced to 28 years in prison for an action against the headquarters of the Lega di Treviso: two devices, one exploded and the other did not, which caused no injuries.
A comrade buried alive under the 41 bis regime, other comrades sentenced to de facto life imprisonment. These are the internal reflections of a condition that can be summed up in three words: we are at war.
If already the Covid Emergency was a vast gymnastics of obedience and war rhetoric, the open clash between NATO and the Russian Federation pushes governments to militarize spirits, language, society. A war on minds and material conditions that tightens the meshes of repression more and more every day.
While Alfredo is determined to fight until his last breath-a choice that will forever mark our lives and our struggles-we also have the task of doing all we can to overturn the appeal ruling against Juan, sweet and courageous comrade of so many battles.

We claim the detonation of a homemade explosive device placed at an ATM of the Banco Bienestar located on the outskirts of the city of Oaxaca, a territory dominated by the Mexican state.
In the early morning of 14/02/23. We ignited the explosive. In the distance we heard the bang and the alarms of the bank. We calculated a more powerful impact that would cause greater damage to the ATM, and break for a moment with the tedium of social peace. This time the action was silenced by the henchmen of order and the press. We will sharpen the knife better for the next one. This seditious gesture is a combative salute to Alfredo Cospito and his irreducible war against prison and the 41 B.I.S. isolation regime.
It is clear to us that insurrectional solidarity needs will, courage and gunpowder.
We must intensify the conflict by pushing forward the attack!
For the extension of the combat and the seditious solidarity!
DOWN WITH THE 41 B.I.S. ISOLATION REGIME!!!
For the practice of anarchic vandalism against the established order!

Claim of the placement of an explosive device against the courthouse by the Revolutionary Solidarity Group – Home Deliveries / FAI-FRI (Pisa, Feb. 21, 2023)
EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AGAINST THE COURT OF PISA
1 paper bomb filled with black powder + gas cylinder + incendiary bottle with timed trigger
The state, including the democratic state, is the greatest danger to the life and liberty of all living beings. It allows capitalism to flourish by ensuring the stability it needs through its punitive and repressive system. Everything and everyone must submit to its rules for the defense of mastery. Rules that serve to keep society pacified. The ability to conflate with this system of oppression and exploitation is stemmed through prevention, by keeping an eye on and placing in an asphyxiating system of social reintegration anyone who does not comply, and through the courts when thought becomes action, whether it is refusal of work and illegalism or direct action and subversion. Of individuals who choose to stay out of the social peace, there have always been some, so the criminal justice system takes on great importance for the maintenance of the state.
In every court every day hundreds of exploited people are sentenced. At blows of sentences men and women are buried in jails and their relationships of friendship and love mutilated. By blows of explosives structures will be struck and men of power maimed.
For every death at sea, in jail, of labor, in CPRs, not one but 100 bombs to the bosses.
Your cameras and guards sifting the city will never be enough to stop the action from penetrating your buildings.
On the night of Feb. 21, we placed an explosive device in the back door of the Pisa courthouse. We do not know if the deflagration occurred, but we would like to emphasize that this action takes on no small importance: we proved that it is possible to get close to the palaces of power and strike.
To counterterrorism: we know that you are preparing countless arrests for all these months of mobilization. Damn freeloaders, know that the blows of us oppressed will soon reach your hands.
The decisions made by Roberto Sparagna, by former Justice Minister Marta Cartabia, by the Rome Supervisory Court, up to those made by the current Justice Minister Nordio, will have historic importance for the quality of revolutionary violence.

Athens: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INCENDIARY ATTACK ON A CAR DEALERSHIP
“Fortune knows that we defy it, and the more it beats us, the more we despise it.” William Shakespeare
In a few months, as we all know, the four-year rule of new democracy with Kyriakos Mitsotakis as prime minister will come to its “happy” end. Before the government even started, it promised many times that (like another Papadopoulos (dictator leader on 70s) it would ”crack down on anarchy” thus declaring open war on all anarchist-revolutionary-rebellious parts of society.
After 4 years of evictions of squats, bans on strikes and marches, State murders, extreme repression and imprisonment of innocent but proudly ‘guilty’ comrades, we are still here. Although we have had some resounding disappointments and defeats (let us not hide behind our finger) we proudly declare that the anarchist revolutionary movement has not fallen and will never fall without a fight. And that is the only way we ought to look to the continuation of our struggle. For unlike theirs our way has no end. Our road is eternal, etched with the blood of those who sacrificed for Anarchy and Freedom and carved in the footsteps of fire.
That is why we are taking responsibility for the incendiary attack on a car dealership in Kallithea at dawn on 12/2, which, make no mistake, was not for extortion or for blackmail, as the media declared the next day, but as a small blow to the image of normality, security and social peace that prevails in Greek society. We dedicate this attack to all our comrades who, unrepentantly and without fear, still look the enemy in the eye and take it on. Because the ruins of a ‘beautiful’ delegation that tries to cover up the vulgarity of society will always fill us with satisfaction.
Vulgarity that takes its cruelest form inside the prisons in an attempt to physically and mentally dehumanise the prisoners and cut them off from the rest of society, reinforcing the already existing social apathy. But make no mistake! The spirit is not flattened and the voices are not silenced. A prime example is the struggle of the prisoners inside Greek prisons that has been going on for months against the new Penitentiary Law and continues despite the vindictive transfers. We stand proudly by your side!
