Middle East War – Dark Nights

National Gendarmerie of Athens

In the early hours of March 25, we attacked with an incendiary device the building where the dean of the NTUA, Panagiotis Tsanakas, as well as a riot police officer, live in the area of Zografou. Our research on the chief snitch of the academic rabble of the Polytechnic brought us in front of a simultaneously special but poetically explainable coincidence. A snitch and a cop work and live together, a touching image to say the least.

Tsanakas is not simply the tsuchiki [contemptuous address for a person we consider vile and insignificant] of Hadjigeorgiou (rector of NTUA) but as the culmination of his “academic” work he has shamelessly handed over to the police a student who was writing slogans in favor of the Palestinian people on the school grounds. However, he has a deeper and more essential role in Hadjigeorgiou’s police-held monstrosity, of a rectory that allows/imposes the daily presence and the scolding of cops on campus in full compliance and obedience to the dictates of the ND doctrine for absolute control and essentially the necrosis of student and subversive struggles on university campuses. A rectorate that we have lost count of how many times has ordered the invasion of the repressive forces on the university grounds, with a particular “sensitivity” when it comes to those in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.

Of course, Hadjigeorgiou has an additional reason to fervently desire the presence of cops on the NTUA grounds beyond serving the government’s planning. He uses them as doormen and henchmen who guard the “shop” that he has built in future collaborations on NATO programs and Jewish arms industries. Just the day after the attack, we read that a way has been found through opaque procedures and individual opinions of legal advisors to declare unconstitutional (!) Article 2 of the Funding and Management Guide of the Special Research Funds Account (ELKE), which concerns the NTUA and explicitly states “…The history of the NTUA is connected to struggles for freedom and peace. For this reason, the NTUA is not allowed to conduct or participate in research for war purposes of any kind, with the exception of research for the country’s defense needs, and no research funded by international military coalitions is undertaken.” Let us recall that the above constitutes a conquest of the anti-war movement of the era of the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces in 1999. Of course, as early as October 2023, in the midst of the genocide of the Palestinians of Gaza by the Israeli army, with the signatures of Hadjigeorgiou and Dean Panagiotis Tsanakas, a memorandum of cooperation between the NTUA and Intracom Telecom was signed. It is therefore obvious (unless you are a lobotomist) that the results of the university’s research in this collaboration are channeled to 2 subsidiaries of Intracom Telecom, Intracom Defense and Intracom Aviator, which actively cooperate with the Israeli army and its genocidal activities in the wider Middle East.

Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

In March, none of us shall die (March 2010, Daphne – Lambros Fountas, an anarchist guerrilla who fell in a clash with cops) – (March 2026, outskirts of Rome – Sara Ardizone and Sandro Mercoliano, anarchist comrades who were killed by an explosion)

In October, none of us shall die (October 2024, Ampelokipi, Athens – Kyriakos Xymitiris, anarchist guerrilla killed by explosion)

In May, none of us shall die (May 2025, Thessaloniki – Snizanna Paraskevaidou, fell in an explosion during an attack on a bank)

And the story continues like this. Through the battles of our own people, simple, everyday. Like Lambros, like Kyriakos, like Snizanna, like Sandro and Sara and so many more people who lost their lives in direct action.With determination, with our own rage and memory, we took to the streets at dawn on March 10, the date that the anarchist revolutionary guerrilla Lambros Fountas fell fighting under fire from cops in Daphne 16 years ago and we attacked a cop’s house in Kaisariani with an incendiary device.

We have every reason to target the state’s scumbags who act as security guards for the bosses and the ruling elite. With this move, we want to remind them and all cops that we will not leave their activity unpunished. They are the ones who target fighters, violently attack demonstrators, torture and murder people in cop stations, at borders, as well as people from the impoverished margins and our own class. Let them remember and know that we can also locate them in their homes, in their neighbourhoods, in their jobs and that they are not really safe anywhere in making this choice to serve the system.

It is a fact that the state invests in order and security by strengthening policing at every level of central government. In this way, it prevents any resistance from below on behalf of capital as much as possible, while at the same time strengthening military-police capital through funds for security forces and armament programs. This is a phenomenon that is parallel in relation to the international geopolitical situation. As the war intensifies abroad (Middle East, Ukraine) and the Greek state participates in it through the Greek-Israeli-American alliance, NATO and the EU, so does the repression at home. Cops of all kinds are positioned to control our lives. The same applies to every field of public space from universities to neighbourhoods, squares and other natural sites (see Exarchia Square, Strefi Hill).

So, let fear change sides then. No matter how much the complicit and regime-based mass deception media cover you up by hiding our actions, we know the anxiety that these visits to your homes cause you. If you don’t pack up, we will come again. Our lives are not expendable. We want to show that you are the terrorists and dangerous to the public interest, not us who return the minimum percentage of your share of violence.

We express our solidarity with the Palestinian people who are fighting for their lives. Let us intensify the anti-war action against the war crimes occurring in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran by the Western bloc. We will not become meat for the murderers’ cannons because the local leaders, with Mitsotakis and Dendias as the first and best, rushed to ally with Netanyahu and Trump.

The choice to connect these contents through action on the day of remembrance of the anarchist guerrilla Lambros Fountas constitutes a connecting link between memory, action and continuity.
