On March 17th, we attacked the coordination center for the payment card in Hesse with incendiary devices. Several transporters, as well as the building on Lilienthalstraße (Gießen), were damaged in the process. We did not choose this state facility by chance. The Government Presidium (RP) Gießen is involved in deportations every day with their transports from the initial reception centers and coordinates these throughout Hesse. For the reasons already mentioned, the RP deserves every attack.
Furthermore, the premises of the RP Gießen serve as the “operational coordination center” for the payment card introduced for refugees in the fall of last year. Basically, this means that the RP is responsible for the introduction and implementation of the payment cards in the initial reception centers and serves as the point of contact for all accommodations in the state of Hesse. The payment card is another insidious endeavor in which the German state demonstrates its racist and inhumane practices. Surely we should all be aware that the payment card is an attack on all the people who seek refuge and safety here, and it is just another step in the isolation of Europe.
Not only the state’s racist practice ignited our anger and hatred, but also the fact that this is another step by an authoritarian state to practice surveillance and control. As a society, we should assume that the payment card for refugees is a pilot project testing the extent to which handling payment cards will generally be suitable in the future. It is to be assumed that at some point there will also be payment cards for, for example, social benefit recipients. Because the German state loves to kick downwards and take from the poor and already stigmatized.
In solidarity with all those who evade their deportation and develop a collective practice against the authorities.
We greet the anarchist comrades in Bavaria, who are currently being persecuted by the state for their uncompromising political stance.
We send our solidarity and hope to all those affected by racist policies with our action. Another world is possible, let’s fight for it together.
Happiness and strength to all the comrades in hiding and blazing hatred against the walls that keep our friends and comrades imprisoned.
