Kyriakos Xymitiris – Dark Nights

Athens, Greece: Intervention at the offices of “Efimerida ton Syntakton” (EFSYN)

Posted on 2026/02/22 by darknights

This text was published in the course of an intervention at EFSYN in Athens, Greece and translated by the Berlin Assembly in memory of Kyriakos Xymitiris and in solidarity with the persecuted in the Ambelokipi-case.

We are intervening at EFSYN’ in order to publicize the following texts. This intervention follows our presence and the distribution of these texts in the area of Ampelokipi and on Arkadias Street in order to show our solidarity with the residents of the apartment building.

At the same time, we went to the spot where our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris lost his life.

TEXT FOR THE APARTMENT BUILDING ON ARKADIAS STREET

On 31/10/24, my comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris and I were in the apartment at 4-8 Arkadias Street. During the processing of explosive materials, an explosion occurred that took the life of my 36-year-old comrade, caused my own very serious injury, and resulted in damage to the apartment building. Since then, I have been detained in Korydallos women’s prison under horrendous conditions, having to confront the loss of the person closest to me, my own injury, and very serious accusations.

This explosion obviously was not part of any plan, nor did it happen due to carelessness. This tragic development was the consequence of defective material, something that unfortunately could not be foreseen.

The anarchist political space to which we both belong fights for a world of equality, solidarity, and self-organization. For a world where monthly survival does not cause anxiety, where interpersonal relationships are not based on competition, and where a life in dignity is not a matter of luck. And when this anarchist political space chooses to attack those who impose poverty, exclusion, and insecurity with such means, it takes all necessary measures, often putting the acting subjects themselves at risk, in order to ensure the safety of unrelated people.

Beyond protecting people’s physical integrity, our political spectrum targets those who oppress and exploit us. It sets its sights on the powerful of this world. Those who eat with golden spoons while we make do with the absolute necessities, those who live off rents while we beg that there not be yet another increase, those who reap profit while we work twelve-hour a day. Those who spread death through wars, misery through high prices, fear through racism, extermination through long and uninsured labor. Those who impose uncertainty, insecurity, danger even when you simply take the night train to Thessaloniki or try to cross the border for a life with dignity.

We struggle so that all of this does not remain unanswered. To win back the right to live. To put a stop to injustice, exploitation, oppression, cover-ups. Within this struggle we risk much, we are targeted, we receive violence and repression, we endanger our safety, our freedom, and sometimes even our lives. Not because we are indifferent to life, but because we care about the life of our struggle and then we feel responsible for many people. Thus, we consciously set social solidarity as a priority.

My comrade adopted this stance in life, and that is why he decided to struggle with all means. And if he was still here, he would be the first to try to help the residents of the apartment building, not because he would regret the means he chose to struggle with, but because for him, as for all of us, solidarity and mutual aid are a deeply human feeling, a driving force that pushes us to action.

“We are not terrorists, nor criminals. It is precisely because of our love for life, because we rejoice in the human spirit, that we became fighters for freedom against this racist and deadly imperialist system.”

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for coordinated attack in Ano Patissia

Posted on 2026/02/16 by darknights

The daily grind of medieval working conditions, class humiliation and extermination of the proletariat, employer impunity and terrorism, austerity measures that strangle the social base, torture in the hellhole police stations, the hundreds of murders at the borders of Fortress Europe, the destitution in detention centers, the permanent panoptic surveillance and mapping of every movement, the upgrading of repression and the legal arsenal of the state, demands the intensification of social resistance, the breaking of the omnipotence of the state through the spread of polymorphous aggressive actions of social violence directed against this insatiable system that annihilates human life and treats us as expendable, as numbers.

Even more so when this daily routine is stained with the blood of people from our class, with state-capitalist murders committed in the name of profit and greed, as was recently the case with the mass murder of workers at the “Violanta” in Trikala, where five female workers were buried under tons of rubble after an explosion caused by a propane leak, as well as the murder of 15 migrants by port police off the coast of Chios during a violent push-back.

Similarly, the anarchist urban guerrilla Kyriakos Xymitiris, who was killed prematurely while handling explosives in an apartment on Arkadias Street in Ambelokipi, on October 31, 2024, chose to arm himself to fight “this rotten world that feeds on its own flesh,” chose to hold fast to the thread of revolutionary history and devote himself entirely to the Revolutionary Struggle, against complacency and compromise, with steely determination, humility, and optimism.

We, in turn, on the evening of Sunday, 1st February, carried out a raid on targets on Patission Street in Ano Patissia, striking and causing material damage to the windows and ATMs of three banks (Eurobank, Alpha Bank, and Optima Bank), as well as the window of Nova Bank. We dedicate this action to our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris and to our persecuted comrades in the Ampelokipi case, who have been imprisoned for 15 months. We call for the spread and multiplication of aggressive actions, in view of the upcoming trial for the case.

PS. Solidarity and strength to the comrades in Thessaloniki who have recently been targeted by increased state repression and police arbitrariness, the latest example being the unprecedented number of detentions (over 300) from a concert at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki following attacks on police forces that took place outside the venue.

Athens, Greece: Attack on Kypseli Police Station – Claim of responsibility and video

Posted on 2025/12/14 - 2025/12/14 by darknights

Justice is resistance

On the afternoon of December 7, 2025, we attacked the torture chamber of the Kypseli Police Station on Thiras Street.

The cowards of the police station, so “brave” towards chained people, so “courageous” in sweeping migrants in Amerikis Square, realistically assessed their situation and locked themselves inside. It took them five whole minutes to come out…

Seventeen years and one day after December, we struck at the heart of Athens, in a center that they have turned into a fortress. Seventeen years in which violence, torture, and murders have not stopped for a moment. Seventeen years later, the same murderers with different faces. Sampanis, Fragoulis, Zackie, Lambros Fountas, Kamran, Maggos…

The combatants who go on the counterattack, who respond to the blows of the state, are neither superhuman nor unaware of the danger. They are your colleague at work, your fellow student in the next seat, the neighbor you greeted yesterday. You may have seen them yelling at their boss during some shitty season, demanding lower rent and humane neighborhoods, fighting against femicide, against the cops who murder. You’ve probably been caught up in a strike at some point. These are the people who, when enraged by injustice and violence, turn their anger into determination and a plan. They lay out maps, plot routes, and look for cameras. They fill bottles with gasoline, approach calmly, and set fire to police stations. This is how December 2008 was born, and November 1973 before it. With stubbornness and organization. With collective struggle against injustice.

Our attack was a direct response to the crescendo of police violence during the march on December 6, 17 years after the murder of student Alexandros Grigoropoulos by cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis.

“[…] At the end of the afternoon protest, at around 8:05 p.m., a group of approximately 400 individuals, carrying sticks and anti-gas masks, violently attacked riot police squads at the intersection of Panepistimiou and Emmanouil Benaki streets. […] ”

This was announced by the police and reproduced without a trace of skepticism by 90% of the media, from the center-left (news247.gr) to the far-right (Proto Thema). So what if dozens of videos show exactly the opposite, namely the violent attack by riot police on the march, the chemical warfare, the brutal beating of even protesters who had already been arrested.

To the media: Reproducing the police’s announcements verbatim in the current climate and circumstances is not simply poor journalism. It is a conscious choice to support and be complicit in barbarism. Every era has its Nuremberg, and every Nuremberg has its Streicher.

The police’s decision to ban the December 6 march, with heavy injuries and arrests, did not come as a bolt from the blue. It is a path that began with the pandemic and the handling of demonstrations at that time, culminating in the dissolution, under extreme conditions, of the march in memory of anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris.

The wind is changing, the signs are warning of a storm

We could be tempted to see this intensification of repression as typical right-wing state management. It would not be difficult. Even before its current complete dismantling, the crippled Hellenic Republic was not renowned for its “robust institutional checks and balances” or its “healthy democratic institutions.” The Greek regime is perfectly suited to a capitalist formation where the upper echelons are made up of smuggling shipowners and the mafia, while the lower echelons are staffed by anti-Lombard figures such as Frapes, Magierias, and Semertzidou.

However, the political and economic crisis is permeating the “liberal” West vertically and horizontally.

In the US, France, Germany, and the UK, governments change but policies remain the same. Profits for the few, poverty for the many, support for genocide in Palestine at any cost. Hand in hand with poverty goes the violence of the bosses, the violence of the police. The post-WWII redistributive model is dead, the possibility of exporting internal contradictions to the Third World has been limited. The capitalist “flight forward,” the future they are preparing for us is to go and fight—in truth, to die—for our country.

We must confront this darkness, politically and practically, because if the enemy wins, there will be no safe rear. Along with our stubbornness and will to fight, we must reintroduce organization, strategy, and tactics into our vocabulary. We must strike at the bosses and their henchmen, protect social/class struggles from repression.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary barrage by ‘Incendiary Anarchist Nous’

Posted on 2025/12/12 by darknights

The new global economic crisis is approaching

The new economic crash in the West is closer than they would have us believe. Western imperialist states are trying to redivide the earth and drain economically weak states of raw materials, labor, and anything else that can bring them profit. However, in countries that are not in the West, they must also contend with indigenous forces that either resist for their land, such as Palestine, or are ruled by theocratic regimes that they themselves had installed there to avoid the “communist threat.” The imperialist states of the East, Russia and China, are also entering the game, trying to emerge victorious from the coming crash. Intra-imperialist rivalries once again fall on the backs of the peoples of the earth with devastating results.

The Palestinian struggle

The Palestinians, with their struggle, like a modern Vietnam, show us the way and the necessity to fight wherever we are. Since October 2023, the Palestinians have been rebelling against the Zionist fascists, the American imperialists, and Western capital. All of them aim to rebuild the whole of Gaza and turn it into a tourist resort. The vultures (construction and real estate companies) have started selling off pieces of land in Palestine. The recent ceasefire agreement and the joke with Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize are not enough to stop what is happening in Palestine. What is happening is genocide, occupation, and the uprooting of an entire people, justified by the most ridiculous arguments.

There is nothing more despicable than using one of the darkest chapters in human history to justify genocide. Anyone who does so must be met with fierce anger and overwhelming force.

The puppet of the fascist state of America and Western capital is trying to convince us that he will resolve every conflict by telling blatant lies repeatedly in public (such as Armenia-Azerbaijan). At the same time, he is sending the army onto the streets to maintain order within his country and to deport all immigrants within America to private prisons in Ecuador. The so-called “democracy” of the United States could be better described as a junta and a military dictatorship.

GREECE—an accomplice state

The Greek state is an accomplice to the genocide of the Palestinians. As such, it should be treated and punished accordingly. As a member of NATO, an ally of the United States, albeit of negligible value, and a member of the tripartite family alliance of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel. It has surrendered land and water to the needs of Israel and the United States. The base in Larissa is used openly, and the base in Souda became the starting point for the war against the Houthis and the American bombing of Iran. At the same time that an arrest warrant is being issued for war crimes and crimes against humanity against Netanyahu, one of the best and biggest lackeys (OUR GREECE!) is covering for him and protecting him in the most vulgar way. Appealing to sentiment, government scum talk about the persecution of Jews. At the same time, they are increasingly strengthening the economy of the Zionist state by signing investment and agreements. It is no coincidence that the ELVO railway industry has been bought out or that thousands of Israeli funds have flooded the metropolises.

Anyone who does not oppose their country’s participation in an imperialist war has no right to complain about any reprisals. Continue reading “Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary barrage by ‘Incendiary Anarchist Nous’” →

Athens, Greece: Claim for the commando attack on the OPKE team at Strefi Hill in Exarcheia on 1/11/2025

Posted on 2025/11/25 - 2025/11/25 by darknights

<<MIND THE STAIRS>>

A year and a day after comrade and armed anarchist fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris was killed in an apartment on Arcadia Street, following a premature bomb explosion, he was destined to remind everyone that social peace is nothing more than empty words in an empty space.

Along with the explosion, a promise was made. That the comrade would not be forgotten. The comrade has not been forgotten. His name became a slogan on the lips of thousands. Then it adorned walls, was written in texts and was the subject of events. However, it was not long before this name became a signature. The name of the fallen anarchist guerrilla Kyriakos ceased to belong exclusively to him. Conspirators met and nuclei were formed with his name. Commandos slipped away in the night and in the shadows in order to give light and noise to the quiet monotony of the metropolis. Going along this path, we decided to carry out a raid on the cops who have taken up camp on Strefi Hill.

We struck in broad daylight, reminding the uniformed bastards that they will never be in peace amid us even for a moment. In recent years, there has been an effort to turn the Exarcheia neighbourhood into a well-guarded alternative resort, where tourists enjoy the aesthetics of the “subculture” and the unconventional character of the neighbourhood without actually contributing in the slightest to the Cause and the goals for which we are fighting. Seeing what is happening before our eyes, we choose not to stand by as observers. We choose direct action, militantly defending our projects and ideas in the here and now. The Exarcheia you dream of will turn into your worst nightmares.

PS: We were saddened about the absence of the riot police as we really wanted to see them running after what happened the previous night, during the memorial march and more generally in the neighbourhood. On the other hand, their colleagues from the OPKE (Special Police Teams for Crime Prevention and Suppression) team proved to be satisfactorily efficient in the game of hide and seek.

PS2: We also dedicate this action to comrade Christos Spilios, who died recently, but will always be in our struggles.

HONOUR FOREVER TO THE ANARCHIST GUERRILLA KYRIAKOS XIMITIRIS.

Greece: October is a month of remembrance and action for the anarchist revolutionary Kyriakos Xymitiris by Dimitra Zarafeta, Marianna Manoura

Posted on 2025/09/16 by darknights

As long as there are those who are lost in battle, we will exist to continue the war

And when we die, we die like stars scattering light. Like that light that shone a year before the explosives explosion in the Ampelokipi apartment on 10/31, when the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris was walking the last part of his journey, where everything is condensed into a moment, where his revolutionary consciousness aligns with the desire to put an end to this aging world that feeds on his flesh.

Filled with immense comradeship, determination and with no inclination to retreat, he committed himself to the struggle with a vision of freedom. With clear eyes, comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris made no concessions to emotion, he loved life, honouring it with every breath he took. Both in Berlin and in Athens, he participated in all the fields of struggle indiscriminately. In rallies and marches against gentrification, in anti-fascist and anti-patriarchal patrols, in mass poster pastings, in militant defences of occupations, in struggles against colonialism and prisons.

He stood firm in the convictions of anarchy. In this suffocating world built on powers that strangle the wild beauty of unbridled freedom, on predatory policies, on death politics and wars that Western centres set up in the countries of the “third world” by stepping on corpses, on cynical confessions of “whoever does not adapt, dies”, comrade Kyriakos Xymetiris did not turn his gaze away. In this world of manufactured emotions, standardized behaviours, social contracts, mass apathy, comrade Kyriakos Xymetiris lived uncompromisingly in the here and now. In a context of intensifying authoritarianism and militarisation, growing insecurity and widespread impoverishment, comrade Kyriakos Xymetiris achieved his own transcendence, denied his social privileges and assumed responsibility.

At a time when friendly relations are criminalised by filling pages of lengthy indictments, where systematic imprisonments try to send a resounding message of criminal terrorism, where the judicial mechanism shows its teeth to poor devils and turns its gaze away from state-capitalist crimes, comrade Kyriakos proved that the strategy of repression does not intimidate revolutionary consciences. At a time when the movement is experiencing a setback, from the internalization of repression, adaptability and integration, comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris decided not to compromise and to contribute to the historical shaping of subversive events. In defiance of the times, he looked at the path of political and revolutionary responsibilities. Armed with courage and determination, he chose to respond to the violence of domination.

His priority was the preservation of the revolutionary tradition of specific means of struggle, which over time had become inactive. Continue reading “Greece: October is a month of remembrance and action for the anarchist revolutionary Kyriakos Xymitiris by Dimitra Zarafeta, Marianna Manoura” →

Athens, Greece: Claim of Responsibility for Arson of Cop’s Vehicle

Posted on 2025/08/11 - 2025/08/11 by darknights

At dawn on 25/7 we carried out an arson attack on a private cop’s motorcycle in the area of Elliniko. As a result, it suffered significant damage and was forced to repair it. This move was not accidental as we chose to attack a uniformed garbage at a time when the state is increasingly strengthening the security forces with more funds in equipment and human resources, as well as privileges for them. This is done in an attempt by the state to shield internal social peace against resistance, against those who struggle, against the internal enemy, against the anarchist space. So it uses the cops as protectors of the politically and economically powerful, securing their interests. In the same strategy, it militarizes repression and control, tightens the laws and the penal code. At the same time, it displaces those who are left over and sterilizes the city center and public spaces (parks, squares, universities, etc.), evacuates squats and takes more security forces to protect goods, tourism, construction, and in general the gentrification and investment plans at the expense of the poor and persecuted.

With this move we want to remind in every direction that for us no cop can sleep peacefully and everyone has a responsibility from the moment they consciously decide to support the state and sovereignty with their work.

We dedicate this action to the memory of the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris

We send incendiary signals of solidarity to the anarchist comrades Marianna and Dimitra who are being prosecuted for the same case

Patras, Greece: Solidarity actions for anarchist comrade Andreas Floros

Posted on 2025/08/11 by darknights

A few days before Andreas’ apology, we carried out acts of sabotage and wrote slogans on several banks and ATMs in the city of Patras, as a minimal symbolic gesture of solidarity with him.

Andreas was accused of forming and joining the “terrorist” organization “Conspiracy Vengance” and since April 26, he has been held in pretrial detention at the Amfissa prison. On May 16, his trial began at the Lukareos Court of Appeals in Athens, where the court decided to acquit him, thus ending his detention, as he is now outside the prison walls.

As an anarchist, Andreas is targeted by the authorities because of his long-standing and ongoing participation in social and class struggles in the city of Patras. He has chosen to stand against every oppressor and alongside every oppressed person, against every authority that dominates our lives, and to fight for a free world.

The conspiracy built by the Patras state security and the anti-terrorist service, and ratified by the prosecutor and investigator, with well-known tactics such as upgrading charges, anonymous phone calls, the use of conversations with imprisoned detainees to create profiles and criminalize friendly and comradely relationships, reveals at its core the central and timeless policy of the state to attack and suppress anyone who struggles. For this reason, we recognize the prosecution and attack on our comrade as a targeted attack on the entire anarchist and anti-authoritarian movement.

Obviously, the media played an important role in the prosecution of Andreas, as they took care from the outset to reproduce the police press releases and comment on them, deliberately adding characterizations and false information to the detriment of our comrade. In this way, they created an image of Andreas as a “hardened criminal,” distorting his political identity, while at the same time reinforcing the fear that already exists in society and glorifying the role and work of the police. All of the above contribute to his early social condemnation.

Finally, for this symbolic act of solidarity, we chose as our target one of the foundations of capitalism, power, and oppression. Because banks and capital, together with states, contribute to the complete destruction of the world in order to maintain the capitalist system, which alienates, crushes, destroys, and takes away everything we have to survive. It is time to take it all back.

Chile: Claim for Explosive Attack on Abbot-Recalcine Laboratories, Black May 2025

Claim for Explosive Attack on Abbot-Recalcine Laboratories, Black May 2025

“The poor moan,
no one hears them.
Using arms,
now they hear them”

Women form gangs! This action isn’t an act of protest, much less of clemency; it is deliberately an act of vengeance. A few years ago the distribution of defective contraceptive pills by Abbott-Recalcine laboratories caused hundreds of unwanted pregnancies. Given this situation, the companies responsible proposed a compensation of $38,900 pesos, not even close to half of what it took us to make this explosive device. Although many disagree with the method of action, let’s at least agree that the sum offered is yet another mockery on the part of the democratic dictatorship.

The Andrómaco, Silesia and Abbott laboratories continue to make these practices company policy: they keep distributing defective contraceptives. Nothing new at all. Forseeably, both the business groups and the state run by Boric’s feminist pluri-police government and the rapist Monsalve remain silent. They are only interested in reproducing the cycle of poverty because, in essence, capitalism manages life and death for the systematic generation of wealth regardless of the damage it may cause.

United by affinity and common interest for action, we organize our wills in the practical terrain of informality, far from all victimism and pacifying discourses that position insurrectional action outside the possibilities of anarchic struggle. It’s necessary to take part in the anti-authoritarian offensive with the necessary tools that enhance our project of liberation.

Our bombs have been composed and transported even when the storm is strong and the sky is dark. The attacks flash on the horizon and then, suddenly, the mask of society falls… who among you can pass judgment on sabotage? The values of the anarchist offensive and revolutionary action confront capitalist alienation, and those who cover their faces with the veil of misery, with conviction and firmness.

With this attack we remember our comrade Mauricio Morales who, 16 years after his death, continues to be present in the advance of the anarchist urban guerrilla. This Black May, memory and action are intertwined so that neither time nor distance gives way to accommodation and denial of the combat history of our dead.

Marianna, may the sweet smell of dynamite cross the walls. We’re with you to the end!

Honor, memory and action for anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris.

In solidarity with anarchist and antispeciesist prisoners- May the prison walls burst!

For the creation of 1, 10, 100 cells of action, we continue writing our history of combat in act!

For attack in all directions, we wager our strength in the creation of an international project!

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for the incendiary attacks on the houses of the politician Maximos Charakopoulos and the cop Giannis Meidanis

Posted on 2025/06/02 - 2025/06/02 by darknights

We take responsibility for the double attack with low-powered incendiary devices at dawn on 14/05/25 at the entrances of the apartment buildings where the MP of the New Democracy Maximos Charakopoulos and the uniformed scum of the Greek National Police, Giannis Meidanis, reside.

Our moves were not at all accidental as they are a first sign of aggressive solidarity with those arrested for the events at the DAP-NDFK event at the Law School. Our attack had been decided to take place some weeks later. However, we found it necessary to bring it forward because of the events, redefining the climate of fear that Chrysochoidis in unbridled collaboration with the media wants to imbue us with and returning fear to the eyes of those who should be blooming. Because for every visit you make to the homes of your comrades and comrades-in-arms, we will make a visit to yours.

A very faint layer of light unites the political and the personal, like the light of the twilight in the early morning, where you don’t know when the night ends and the day begins, where the boundaries of one are blurred within the boundaries of the other. Our twilight is the moment of explosions, where we gave the night its first colors in the hope that something new would dawn, where we united these two poles (political/personal) through action. But for us the personal does not stop at the individual but starts from it, is not limited to its narrow logics but extends from it. We are not just individuals we are what we stand for, the past has led us to the present and our present to the future. We are our decisions then, these gentlemen have consciously decided to be in the party of the rulers and we are consciously against them. But what happens when your social roles suppress our individuality and our collective evolution? That’s when resistance comes, that’s when the war begins. A thin thread connects us to the struggles of yesterday and we continue so that the struggles of tomorrow have somewhere to stand in order to evolve.

So here we go, one MP and one cop, one represents/exercises the executive power and the other imposes through repression the power of the political leadership of the day. Together they make up two of the four pillars of the state apparatus (the other two legislative, propaganda) the reasons for hitting these targets over time and perpetually for us are self-evident. But in the present day our reasons are concretized and analyzed in particular. Our strategic planning is about bringing justice to the crime of Tempi where our inner sense of justice found you guilty and this is a first glimpse of your “sentence”. It is heard here and there that you put the stationmaster in his place, it is heard that you colluded with your brother Agapios Charakopoulos then director of the Larissa police department where he personally took over the protection of the scene of the incident where he allowed the crime scene to be tampered with and was promoted to brigadier general as a reward for his excellence in covering up your government. You politically abet the criminals and continue to unrepentantly defend your party’s grammar. Isn’t there a lot of that going around, Maxime? They say where there’s smoke there’s fire, and in your case there was both for sure. We heard you say you couldn’t breathe, that you woke up to smoke and flames and that you were afraid of getting hurt. What could the 57 people on the first wagons of the trains have to say, you piece of garbage? What can they say to those who will live with the nightmare of that night haunting them forever? With the smell of burning flesh with the image of severed limbs forever etched in their memory? What are the parents to say as they try to calm down but you and your filthy gang won’t let them? What to say to all of us who know we could have been on that train that night? We could have because we recognize our economic class in this society.

You are wagging your finger at us and telling us that these things do not fit into “democracy”, that you are more powerful, that all these criminal and terrorist elements will be caught. In your democracy and your friends’ democracy nothing else fits because you have taken care of it, as you would not exist if you did not impose your social system and you know it. That is why you have shielded this complex and seemingly impenetrable system of yours with the defences of interlocking. These mechanisms were evident from the very first hours when you began to weave your cover-up plan. Shall we talk about the montage of the dialogue between the stationmaster and the engineer that was created from the first issue and promoted in all the mass propaganda media? About the broken doors and the missing camera footage? For the fuel? For the right-wing think tank findings? For unfinished contracts while brazenly questioning a safety issue through Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis? About roadside repairs? About prosecutors sending parents to priests? This and much more for your congregation in your attempt to get away with it.
