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.

SOLIDARITY TO COMRADE MARIANNA AND ALL THE COMRADES IN PRISON FOR THE AMPELOKIPI CASE

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

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

Posted on 2025/06/02 by darknights

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!

“You can destroy people’s lives, but you won’t extinguish anti-authoritarian thought and practices. You won’t break the revolutionary tension, you won’t snuff out anarchy.” -Anna Beniamino

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.

Athens, Greece: ‘Provocateur Faction’ takes responsibility for the incendiary attack on the house and police guard of the Supreme Court President Ioanna Klapa

Posted on 2025/04/12 - 2025/04/12 by darknights

“Injustice is not anonymous, it has a name and an address”

Bertolt Brecht

In the early morning hours of June 27th [2024] we attacked the house and the police guard of the President of the Supreme Court, Ioanna Klapa, in the Papagos area. That summer evening found the cop who happened to be on duty instead of carelessly gazing at Instagram photos or playing slots (in earlier watches this seemed to be how those on duty spent their time) screaming from the Molotov cocktails that burned him and then being rushed to the emergency room by his colleagues, badly injured. And Klapa, instead of sleeping, fearfully putting out the fire in the entrance and garden of her house.

But why did we choose to attack Klapa while her house was being guarded?

First of all, it was an operational choice with three political considerations. It was not a matter of mere desire or convenience but of collective recognition of the need to attack, yes, using the element of surprise, but on a guarded target. In a field where, in theory, immediate engagement reflexes have been designed and provided for by the police guard to protect the high profile person. In this area there is not room for much analysis. Their preparedness and the proud spirit of the Greek police corps went out the window. Although their operational planning was disgraced, we, to tell the truth, acknowledge that we did not achieve anything particularly great. Life the next day went on as usual, a world of squalor and rot remained the same and the violence of apathy, misery and deadlock still lingers. We had no illusions that we would achieve the most decisive blow to the mechanisms of bourgeois justice and the police. To be a substantially dangerous pole in the social war, however, you have to sharpen the violent responses quantitatively and qualitatively. This is a finding that is eloquently described even by renowned academics and in particular by the jurist Manoledakis: “The overthrow of a political power, and especially today when the state has a perfected huge mechanism for eliminating its opponents, cannot be done on paper or with wishful thinking. In order for the ‘political criminal’ to reach his goal, he must willingly or unwillingly violate a multitude of legal value so that his crime always appears complex. The state is a legal value entangled with other legal values (human lives, personal freedoms, facilities, services, etc.). To reach it you have to go through these values”. So we recognized the importance of such an action and achieved a goal that was both realistic and decisive. To wound their confidence and arrogance, to wound the security they feel in the quiet of their homes and their service cars. We have succeeded, and literally. The burn scars of the security guard will be there to remind him and his colleagues when they notice them that they are in fact vulnerable no matter how much they may think otherwise.

Here lies the second aspect of the rationale behind our attack and the conditions under which it was carried out. The central outcome of our operational planning was to completely destroy the service vehicle and injure the cop, which is what happened. If to some ears this sounds too violent and alienating to their humanistic, pea-brained little minds, then we are speaking and addressing those who read this text and either consciously and with clear political and ideological commitment advocate revolutionary violence by all means or those who instinctively rejoiced and chuckled when they heard the news of a cop being injured that day. To all of them we say that this act was another contribution to the feud we have with the bollocks of the Hellenic Police. We owe this feud and its continuation to our dead. It is a deep and conscious choice with the first and foremost weapon being the determination that defines the need to avenge our dead.

Athens, Greece : Update on developments regarding the health of comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z. (text update 3.4.25)

Posted on 2025/04/10 - 2025/04/10 by darknights

DEPRIVING PRISONERS OF MEDICAL CARE IS TORTURE

Hands off anarchist comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z.

On 31/10/24, following an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipi, the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation, while the anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, was severely injured, hospitalised and guarded in the ICU of the “Evangelismos” General Hospital. The following days, comrades Dimitra Z., Dimitris and Nikos R., as well as A.K., were remanded in custody.

From the very beginning, state violence was applied to comrade Marianna. With her transfer to Korydallos women’s prison just one day after the second operation she underwent, her hospitalisation was violently interrupted while she still had open wounds on her face, she could not walk or fully care for herself, was dizzy and in pain. The “Evangelismos” General Hospital discharged her as a patient in this condition, knowing full well the miserable environment of the prison to which she would be transferred, where there is not even any kind of hospital and therefore no possibility of providing her with extremely necessary medical care before she fully recovers.

Her torture in Korydallos prison continues to this day. Her serious health condition, as well as the risk of long-term complications, are the result of the deprivation of necessary medical post-operative care. From the very beginning they deprived her of the provision of pharmaceuticals and forced her to stay in cells full of cockroaches, in extremely poor sanitary conditions. While to this day – four months later – necessary and urgent diagnostic tests have not been initiated. To her request to be assessed by a doctor and immediately initiate a brain CT scan requested by an outside doctor who visited her a long time ago, the response of the prison neurologist was “if you don’t fall down with an epileptic seizure, we won’t take you to hospital.” A response that accurately reflects the condition of vindictiveness, punishment, and torture that the rulers impose on anyone who finds themselves captured in the cells of democracy.

To the already heavy situation of confinement was added the appearance of intense rashes and itching in comrade Dimitra. A short time later, the comrade Marianna also showed similar symptoms and only then was the diagnosis of scabies made, while they have been torturing Dimitra for two months with their icy indifference, attributing the symptoms to psychological reasons and administering sedatives to her without having ruled out pathological causes.

Greece: ‘THAT WHICH GIVES MEANING TO LIFE GIVES MEANING TO DEATH’ – Marianna M. [Updated Translation]

Posted on 2025/03/31 - 2025/04/07 by darknights

On 31.10 on the third floor of an apartment in Arkadias Street (Athens), during the processing of explosives by my comrade and guerrilla Kyriakos Xymitiris, an explosion took place with the tragic consequence of his death. For a few moments, with me in the next room, time froze, everything went black and I was unable to move. The condition was incomprehensible, the development inconceivable. Buried in the wreckage trying to figure out what had happened;asking for help, searching for my partner with my eyes. Slowly realizing that while the thread of my comrade’s action would be abruptly cut short, his life and his choices in struggle would be a historic flash of determined resistance, consistency and dedication; a springboard and inspiration for further struggle. Two figures appeared offering help while I showed them the spot where I last saw my comrade, the spot where our guilty gazes met, gazes full of anger at the world we live in, full of faith and appetite for moments of true freedom.

Within a few minutes I was in the hospital “Evangelismos”. I was immediately subjected to examinations and operations. I had a hematoma on my head and countless stitches on the upper part of my body. I remained intubated and completely unconscious for the next three days. Enough time for the “anti-“terror scumbags to come to the hospital demanding a blood sample. On the Monday, I regained consciousness and was transferred to the ICU where I was confined for the next three days. The conditions there were decent with medical staff eager to assist in my recovery. However the room was surrounded by police forces who entered the ICU room during the 5-minute visits from my family.

After two days I was transferred – for no apparent reason – to an isolation ward guarded by several static and as many mobile cops in the hallways and on the floors. The door to my room was constantly open leaving zero privacy even during medical examinations. Under the “watchful” gaze of every single cop I had to eat, be examined, and have my body cleaned. Following instructions, the majority of medical and nursing staff maintained a distant attitude, showing zero empathy even in the most basic things, for example when they carried out an examination with the presence of a male police officer.

The insistence of the 22nd investigator of the Athens District Court on conducting the interrogation procedure despite my physical and mental weakness also contributed to the vindictive atmosphere. After asking for a certificate of my sufficient ‘functionality’, which she read at her discretion, she finally gave me the sham extension of 30 hours. She thus confirmed the fact that her priority was my predetermined pre-trial detention and prosecution under 187A.

On Friday 15.11, and just one day after the second operation I underwent, I was transferred to the women’s prison in Korydallos. My daily life, under these circumstances, was difficult. Under deplorable sanitary conditions and with unhealed wounds on my body and head, the repressive mechanism was playing with my health. I was without the necessary medical care and without access to the necessary medication, a condition that all prisoners face as they are perceived as second-class citizens with no right to medical care, with superficial to non-existent medical examinations by prison doctors, with prohibition of necessary medical procedures, with discontinuation of medication taken before incarceration, with long waits for months for emergency examinations in outpatient hospitals.

THE GEOMETRY OF THE ANTI-TERROR UNIT

While I am still unconscious, only a few hours after the explosion, the judicial apparatus follows the instructions of the anti-terror squad and constructs an indictment of an abomination. The processing of (small amounts of) explosive materials and devices with only comrade Kyriakos and myself present and aware, was baptized an organization. The apartment, to which we had only had access to for a few days, was christened a yafka (illegal bunker). The legitimate objects found in the apartment where I lived with comrade Kyriakos and which were presented on the daily news were dubbed suspicious. With these facts, the anti-terror police prosecuted me on the charge of “terrorism”. At this point, however, I will not focus on the legal aspect, nor will I speak in the context of innocence and guilt. I refuse to accept an indictment based on 187A, especially when it instrumentalizes the death of my comrade in the most vulgar fashion. And I intend to deconstruct whichever repressive scenario they construct. But I will defend until the end my choice to be in this apartment, I will defend the necessity of struggle by means not limited to the framework of civil law, I will defend my comrade’s choices, his memory and our relationship.

By carving concentric circles, the anti-terror police weave their own repressive web. It places me and my comrade Kyriakos at the centre and, with shaky geometry, it adds friends, comrades and strangers. In the first cycle it places the arrest of the anarchist comrade Dimitra, who presented herself voluntarily in a Hollywood-style operation at the Athens airport where – in contrast to the femicide of Kyriaki Griva – the police car in the role of a taxi picks her up and takes her to the GADA (Athens central police station). The only “clue” was that she had given the keys to the apartment in Arkadia Street to me and Kyriakos under the pretext of hosting our acquaintances from abroad, without her knowledge of the true purpose of the flat’s use. It is worth noting that on the day of the explosion she was abroad, where she had been living for the last few years. She too is being prosecuted under 187A. In the second circle they place the comrade Dimitris, who also presented himself voluntarily at GADA, because he had handed over the pair of keys of the apartment in Arcadia Street to the flat’s owner, something which had been requested of him by Dimitra. With the only involvement being the delivery of the keys, without having known anything more and having been at work at the time of the explosion, he also faces the aforementioned charges. Twenty days later the”anti-“terrorists secure the next cycle, with the arrest of the anarchist comrade N. Romanos. In his case, the repressive mechanism unleashed its vindictiveness by using as proof a faint fingerprint on a transportable object – a bag – found in the apartment in Arcadia. Two days later A.K becomes part of the last cycle when he is arrested due to the ridiculous “clue” of the fingerprint on the same bag. Apparently within 20 days the “efficiency” of the ELAS (greek police) laboratories managed to implicate two people with whom I have no connection, by unearthing a fingerprint, while the tons of xylene in the Tempi massacre have not been found for two years now. The last two arrested also face the same flimsy charge.

Bremen, Germany: Switch off the security state! Four unmarked police vehicles set on fire at Doventor police station

Posted on 2025/03/18 by darknights

Switch off the security state! Four unmarked police vehicles set on fire at Doventor police station

On the night of 9 to 10 March, with several incendiary devices, we disturbed the mortuary peace of the police station in Doventor, on Daniel-von Büren Street, which was open. In good conscience, we set fire behind the station, in front of and in the parking lot.

To the cops:
That night, you arrested the wrong people. Again, you’re fumbling in the dark. You made the press, and therefore all of us, believe that you had everything under control. It’s more than embarrassing. This shows once again how arbitrary and racist your actions are, when we learn who you have arrested. Be ashamed and deal with your over-inflated authoritarian ego. Instead, recognize that it is possible to sneak into your police station and place incendiary devices under your vehicles.
Shame and fear must change sides. For more imitators.

To people aged 15 to 27:
We are really sorry that the cops harassed you because of our action and that you were held until Monday afternoon. We know what it’s like to be taken to a police station. It’s annoying. We hope you are doing well and that your friends are taking good care of you.

To our enemies:
The new German government wants more military weaponry. Everyone agrees to give even more money and murderous orders to the arms industries. Fascism is getting closer and closer. Everywhere we look in the world, we see crazy people, usually men, who are turning their inhumane, patriarchal, right-wing fantasies into reality. This diligently pushes to a new, lower level. We must not believe that this simply fell from the sky. In many countries of the European Union, it is rather an insidious process and thus everything that has to do with self-determination and solidarity is gradually being stifled. History repeats itself. Democracy, with its cowardly attitude, opens wide the doors to fascists. Hate campaigns are still trending in Germany, and remigration is on everyone’s lips.
As a result of these debates, the cops are also rearmed and they have more leeway and better weapons. We will not accept the violent and threatening behavior of the cops and the state. Four cars, with which the shitty cops spy on us, denounce us, threaten us, observe us, less…
Attacking the cops is an act of resistance and disarmament!

To our comrades in combat who are in prison and to all the comrades who are affected by the repression:
Rest assured: we will continue our common struggles against exploitation and oppression. Freedom and happiness for Maja, Hanna, Nanuk, Gino, Nele, Paul, Luca, Zaid, Paula, Tobi, Clara, Moritz, Marianna, Dimitra, Sarah… Fiery greetings to the anarchists of Munich, who were attacked during the night by 140 heavily armed policemen, and to the anarchists M. and N., incarcerated in Stadelhem.

To Burkhard*:
We read your discussion invitation text, “The Possibility of a Historic Moment is Now.” We too believe that in the coming years the situation will worsen so much that we may no longer be able to avoid an armed struggle. We will continue to discuss these options in our circles. Until then, we will attack the cruel authoritarian world with the current means, such as fire.

We also greet you and send you a lot of strength, wherever you are.

Until everyone is free!

Athens, Greece: ‘Direct Action Cells’ – Responsibility claim for the incendiary attack on the house of MEP Eliza Wozemberg

Posted on 2025/03/15 - 2025/03/15 by darknights

“Dead children don’t go away. They stay at home

and have a separate preference for playing in the closed hallway

and every day they grow in our hearts, so

that the pain under our ribs is no longer from deprivation

but from growth.”

Giannis Ritsos

The Direct Action Cells take responsibility for the placing of an incendiary device at the entrance of the house of Eliza Wozemberg in the Varkiza area in the early morning hours of 26 February. We visited this piece of trash to place our small piece in the mosaic of acts of revenge against those who have cynically stained their hands with blood in the murder of 57 people in Tempe and have tried to cover each other’s asses in a coordinated manner. The chronicle of the crime and its cover-up is pretty much known. The vanguard to save the shattered government’s reputation is made up of some shit-sucking mouthpieces of the right-wing bloc, whether they are MPs and ministers or journalists (like an old acquaintance of ours, Portosalte, who doesn’t seem to have a brain) or even “simple and humble” executives and party members who in the social media also reproduce the party’s main line of laundering the money of those directly involved and attacking the victims’ relatives. Wozenberg could not stand back and keep a low profile. She stood out from this shitty crowd and attacked Karystianou, the mother of one of the victims and president of the Association of Relatives of the Tempi victims, accusing her of deceit, of slandering the country internationally and of having no right to accuse Kostas Karamanlis. For our part, we responded to Wozenberg as she deserves. We answered her because the dead in Tempi could have been us, our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers, our friends and comrades. We ask no one for an account to avenge our dead. This is our answer to Wozemberg. With fire, as she deserves.

The reason our team targeted Wozemberg is because of the dirty role she has played at the European level in covering up the Tempi crime. Mitsotakis took advantage of his lobbying support for the re-election of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and that support was compensated for, with 2 buffers. The appointment of Wozenberg to the position of chairman of the Transport Committee in the European Parliament and the appointment of Apostolos Tzitzikostas to the position of EU Commissioner for Transport and Tourism. In this way the Mitsotakis regime has also secured European immunity for its crimes as the 2 main positions in the EU dealing with transport issues are held by New Democracy appointees. Therefore, the New Democracy ensures that there will be no unexpected consequences for the crime of Tempe and its subsequent cover-up on the part of the “European institutions”.

Besides, Wozemberg had the audacity to recognize in Karamanlis an innocent minister without responsibility and at the same time to desecrate the memory of the dead by accusing their relatives of being politically motivated. She has probably forgotten the times when her ancestors (during the monarchy of Otto, which is her lineage) would have already sent people like Karastianou and anyone who would have questioned their God-given right to rule us to the gallows. That’s why, after all, she got what she deserved. Just as we also understand that it makes sense that a proud descendant of a royal family would become a shield for a descendant of a stinking family of politicians like the Karamanlis. A family that still has some property titles in the New Democracy so that so far at least it has managed to save from criminal liability the tub of guts who was angrily protesting train safety just days before their clash. One hand washes the other and the two together attempt to push the dead of Tempi into oblivion as an accident of the rank and file.

We are outraged that all these scumbags like Wozemberg, Mitsotakis, Adonis, Karamanlis, Voridis, Markopoulos, Voultepsi and dozens of other members of the government mafia come out without fear and with enormous arrogance to attack relatives of the dead, scientists and experts who question the government’s narrative. It infuriates us that this arrogance and the tone of a thousand hearts with which they speak is also stepping on the support of a section of society. A rotten piece that only looks out for themselves, the little extra money they make and supports a government of proven mobsters and murderers. On February 28th those of us who demand street justice must do everything in our power to break this arrogance of theirs. We should cut out their tongues and send them to the dustbin of history, that is, where their natural habitat is.
