Germany: Switch off the Mitsotakis regime!

Posted on 2026/03/20 - 2026/03/20 by darknights

Mitsotakis is the Prime Minister of Greece and, along with his party, New Democracy, bears responsibility for the authoritarian  transformation of this southeastern pillar of the EU and NATO.

Greece is on the front lines of the war on migration (Pylos massacre, 1), tramples over corpses as a pioneer of neoliberalism and corruption (Tempi train “accident,” 2), has an impressive track record of police killings (3) and also deserves to be held accountable for the imprisonment of comrades in the Ambelokipi case.

Impairing this regime’s ability to act can save many lives. The personnel who, on behalf of the Greek government, commit numerous murders, acts of torture, arrests, and pushbacks, require a constant supply of substantial financial resources and social legitimacy. These resources must be targeted.

The police cooperation agreement reached in December shows the direction New Democracy is heading. The following quote is not satire:

“Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chryssochoidis and China’s Public Security Minister Wang Xiaohong signed a police cooperation agreement Tuesday in Athens, strengthening ties between the two countries on key security issues. According to a ministry statement, the agreement focuses on combating organized and financial crimes, drug trafficking and managing illegal migration. It also includes provisions for information sharing, technical expertise and officer training to enhance operational capabilities.
Chryssochoidis proposed forming a coordinating committee to prioritize actions against organized crime, aiming to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of both countries’ police services.

The meeting at the Greek ministry was attended by senior officials from China’s Public Security Ministry, China’s ambassador to Greece, the head of the Hellenic Police, and high-ranking Greek police officials, as well as the minister’s diplomatic advisor.
Both sides reaffirmed strong cooperation between Greece and China, emphasizing their shared commitment to addressing common security challenges and promoting social stability.“

What “social stability” in the Chinese model means for Mitsotakis is evident in the increasing permanent surveillance of several city districts by drones and the crackdown on universities, where any opposition is to be stifled in order to make them compliant as think tanks of the old elites. In drone development, Greek universities are collaborating with ELTA Systems of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), despite student resistance.(4) Continue reading “Germany: Switch off the Mitsotakis regime!” →

Italy: ‘To burning hearts’ Statement of the anarchists accused at the trial for Operation Renata

Posted on 2023/02/21 - 2023/02/21 by darknights

Four years after the repressive operation Renata on February 19, 2019, we publish – not for an aseptic “exhumation” of recent history, but because these are texts that address the profound social and individual reasons for the anarchists’ thought and action – the statement of the seven comrades accused during the first-degree trial (“To Burning Hearts”) and a second statement distributed during the appeal trial. In addition, we believe it is important and necessary to find and disseminate the statements of comrades who, during the trials, take the floor continuing to support the ideas and practices of attack against the state and capital.

To burning hearts

Statement of the anarchists accused at the trial for Operation Renata

The anarchist does not look to success, to victory, to competition. He fights, because it is right. And in any struggle loss is part of life. He does not change his mind because he loses, much less give up the next struggle. The System is self-feeding because of the people who do not fight, not because they are invincible. The anarchist’s job is to instill in the people revolt, not in segments but continuous. Like a wave that recedes and then returns. You ask me if we will win? You ask me the wrong question. Ask me if we will fight and I will answer yes.
Luigi Galleani

Today we decided to have our say on the “Renata” operation. In other writings, the investigation has been analyzed, both in its general repressive aspects of the state and with regard to the technological, inquisitorial and legal tools used to hit those who still dare to fight for something different and still blow on the wings of freedom.

We have decided not to turn to the court that will try us nor to the diligence of our repressors. A courtroom is not the place where we choose to speak today.

We want to speak in those places where there is struggle, where there is still critical spirit, wherever there are women and men who are aware that so many things must be changed now, that this state of affairs must be revolutionized.

So we are going to talk about the actions that we are accused of or that are included in the investigation.

These actions-night or day, individual or collective-are part of a conflict that goes far beyond the specific facts or the territory in which they are located. They are the result of a broader clash, that between the exploited, the exploiters and those who defend them.

Of these actions we share the spirit, the ethics, the method, the goals, regardless of who carried them out. They speak for themselves, they are understandable to most, they point to a path – that of liberation. They point the finger at those who live by exploitation and war, hatred and violence, they wish for something more, something that will put an end to the worst atrocities and barbarities, but above all they aim to destroy the wall of resignation, in times so poor in human solidarity, rebellion, critical thinking.

Those who in recent years have said and still say that such actions serve no purpose, that the game is not worth the candle, that nothing will change, that human beings have permanently lost their wits by reducing life to a constant fratricidal war, have stopped dreaming, have stopped questioning those responsible for injustice and the causes that have brought society to a moral, environmental and material level that is disturbing to say the least.

Berlin, Germany: Ruin of a Securitas patrol car

Posted on 2022/01/19 - 2022/01/19 by darknights

Biologico is an occupation that existed for 34 years in the largest university in Thessaloniki and was evicted New Year’s Eve. There was a call for an international Action Week from 10 – 17.01! We are happy to answer this call, because we also see the city as a field of conflict and recognize the need to create and defend liberated spaces.

Last night (14/15 January) a vehicle of the company Securitas was destroyed in solidarity with the evicted Biologico. We found it in Berlin-Friedrichshain in Zelle Street, the company logo with an (A) and the name of Biologico was sprayed, all tires were slashed and all windows were smashed. So this patrol can rest for now in the workshop instead of participating in the daily manhunt.

The eviction represents the increasing authoritarian control of the Greek government over the universities. The government wants to create an educational environment free of contradictions, where there is no room for self-organization, through surveillance and the permanent stationing of cops in the universities in the future. Therefore, authoritarian surveillance must be smashed, whether by fascist states or by “security” companies!

Securitas is a company with a long tradition of guarding prisons, borders, public space, controls in means of transport, suppression of migration and defense of the elites. Active also in collaboration with the Turkish dictator Erdogan, Securitas has long been under attack worldwide.

From Berlin to Greece, abolish the police and their servants!
