Spain: Information and update on the detainees for the burning of a police vehicle

Posted on 2022/05/21 by darknights

Yesterday evening Ermann was released and today Emanuele will be released.

The boys have decided to pay the bails together with the help of the solidarity funds, the comrades, friends and relatives.

Only the bails of Danilo, Albo and Beppe (the last imprisoned) remain to be paid.

Danilo has decided to leave after June 3, because he doesn’t want to miss his university exams, Albo stays with him waiting for him in the same module.

We hope that solidarity will fill the boxes with the money needed to free them.

See you in the streets!

Athens, Greece: Update and contribution from the event on the case of anarchist Claudio Lavazza on 14 April at ASOEE

Posted on 2022/05/04 - 2022/05/04 by darknights

On Thursday, April 14th, the event of the Anarchist Initiative against State Killings, concerning the case of the anarchist comrade Claudio Lavazza, took place at the ASOEE with a relatively massive presence of comrades. The presentation was read as well as the transcript of an interview Claudio has given about his case and a video was shown concerning the expropriation of a bank in Cordoba and the subsequent confrontation with the police forces where he was arrested. Finally, comments and statements were made by comrades about the connection between Claudio’s experience of struggle, especially the years he participated in the Italian movement, and the present day, and it was decided to call an open assembly to organize a meeting at the French embassy on May 17, the day when the comrade’s appeal against the decision of the bourgeois justice system that forces him to serve another 5 years in prison until he is released will be heard. Below is the text of the submission where you can also find a Pdf file.

We will begin our submission by answering the simple question. Why do we consider solidarity with the comrade Claudio Lavazza important today? We answer by saying that in Claudio’s person we see a part of the revolutionary memory of contemporary revolutionary history.

Claudio from an early age was an insurgent proletarian who was actively involved in the mass movement and proletarian struggles of that period in Italy. But what was the historical context that fuelled the great struggles of that period?

“The post-war environment and the Cold War”

On a macro-level, the end of the Second World War and the new balances of terror that took shape in the international environment after the use of nuclear weapons of mass destruction in 1945 in Japan by the US and the subsequent nuclear arms race from 1949 onwards (when the USSR acquired the corresponding technology), influenced the intensity of the historical period of the Cold War, the milestones of which were the Greek civil war (1946-1949), the Chinese revolution in 1949, the Korean civil war (1950-1953), the lifting of the Berlin Wall in 1961 and the Cuban missile crisis a year later in 1962. These developments were decisive for the so-called transition to the so-called ‘peaceful coexistence’ process, which largely involved the establishment of strict non-intervention zones. These zones were in the perceived centre of the western and eastern world, i.e. almost the entire northern hemisphere of the planet, which of course did not prevent any of the main Cold War competitors from intervening even militarily in their own immediate zones of influence and even more so on the periphery of the perceived undeveloped world, moving the hot fronts of warfare to Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Spain: V Encuentro Contra el Sistema Tecno Industrial y su Mundo. 27,28 y 29 de mayo. Madrid / V Meeting Against the Techno Industrial System and its World. May 27,28 and 29. Madrid

V ENCUENTRO ANARQUISTA CONTRA EL SISTEMA

TECNOINDUSTRIAL Y SU MUNDO

Durante los días 27, 28 y 29 de Mayo tendrá lugar el «V Encuentro Anarquista contra el Sistema Tecnoindustrial y su mundo». Un lugar donde encontrarnos, conocernos, debatir, difundir y afilar nuestras ideas contra la organización técnica del mundo. Pretendemos que el encuentro sea una herramienta más para combatir el sistema tecno-científico-industrial, porque pensamos que el terreno del enfrentamiento se debe concentrar en el campo del progreso tecnológico, puesto que es y será lo que trace las presentes y futuras dinámicas de la dominación sobre todos y cada uno de los aspectos de nuestra vida: sociales, políticos, económicos y ambientales. Durante la duración de las jornadas habrá un espacio para distribuidoras (aquellas que quieran montar la distribuidora en el espacio les pedimos que confirmen su presencia con antelación) y comedores 100% vegetariano.. En los próximos días difundiremos el programa completo del Encuentro, que este año se realizará en el PVA Sputnik (C/Gonzalez soto, 21, Vallecas, Madrid)

Históricamente, los sistemas de dominación han aprovechado los momentos de crisis o catástrofes para transformar el mundo, para realizar una metamorfosis del mismo. En otros tiempos esta metamorfosis fue llevada a cabo cuando el capitalismo se vio amenazado por el avance de la lucha de clases o por la necesidad de cambios económicos y productivos con los que maximizar beneficios. En nuestro tiempo vemos como la tecnocracia aprovecha las emergencias ya sean energéticas, sanitarias, económicas, climáticas… para acelerar el tecno totalitarismo que supone el mundo-máquina. Se está llevando a cabo una nueva “gran transformación”, impulsada por las élites tecno-financieras, un Gran Reinicio. Reiniciar la vida en todas sus dimensiones para imponer una nueva forma de vida y un nuevo mundo bajo los imperativo de la 4º Revolución Industrial, es decir, reiniciar la vida para someterla al mundo-máquina que persigue optimizar al ser humano y todo lo vivo para convertirlo en un engranaje más de dicho mundo. Una vez artificializada y controlada la naturaleza el objetivo ahora es el ser humano. Continue reading “Spain: V Encuentro Contra el Sistema Tecno Industrial y su Mundo. 27,28 y 29 de mayo.

Barcelona 27F – The massacre of freedom

Posted on 2022/04/14 by darknights

Since February 27, 2021, four comrades have been in jail at BRIANS I in Martorell (BC). Initially the arrests were 8. They are accused of attempted murder and constitution of a criminal group, for participating in a demonstration in Barcelona where for 30 seconds the side of a motor vehicle of the urban guard burned. A guard was on board and got off unhurriedly.

Clearly a set-up. Set up by the state to break up the demonstrations that, in the midst of the COVID confinement, were agitating the main Spanish cities. In solidarity with the rapper Pablo Hasel, who is still detained for crimes of opinion.

Iron fist and hype, this is the response of the State. A frame-up that recalls others. From Sacco and Vanzetti to Sole, Silvano and Baleno, passing through Pinelli and Valpreda. In fact, the defendants are foreigners (Italians) in the face of united Europe, are anarchists, squatters, without a steady job and without family in Spain, of course.

The GIP of the proceedings (Maria Eugenia Canal Bedia) – known friend of the police – has done everything to delay the approach of the trial that could reveal the inconsistency of the frame. Always stretching to the limit the waiting time of each act, coming to hide for 45 days a firemen’s report that exonerates the boys. Accused, among other things, of sharing the battle cry “Chihuahua” and of distinguishing themselves by “the ochre-colored lighter” and other such amenities… 14 months of preventive detention, pending trial. This is the Spanish democracy evidently still afflicted by totalitarian syndromes. Continue reading “Barcelona 27F – The massacre of freedom” →

Madrid, Spain: Note from the comrades updating the Bankia case

Posted on 2022/04/02 by darknights

On October 29, 2018, two anarchist comrades from Madrid, we were arrested accused of a sabotage with fire to a Bankia ATM on April 13 of the same year. The action was framed in solidarity with Lisa, who was sentenced to 7 years for a bank robbery in Aachen (Germany), right now in third degree.

There has been a deal between the sides: 1 year suspended sentence for each partner and 7000 euros civil liability paid before the trial.

We were facing 3 years in prison and 17,000 euros of civil liability. Having assessed all the options, we made this decision taking into account all the surrounding factors. The deal is to assume the guilt.

Thank you very much for the solidarity expressed in a thousand and one ways to all comrades around the world.

Fight against all authority now and always!

France: Telephone interview with Claudio Lavazza

Posted on 2022/03/31 - 2022/03/31 by darknights

March 6, 2022

(Taken from Radiocane)

Q: Listeners have probably already had the opportunity to learn about the events that you have lived throughout your long imprisonment in Spanish jails from reading your biography. Let’s start now with the case that led to your current detention in France. What facts does this case refer to?

A: Yes, I have a 10-year sentence set by the Paris Criminal Court on November 8, 2019, for armed robbery and kidnapping. This sentence was recently reduced, a week ago, to five years. And my release date is scheduled for May 16, 2025, so three years from now. This is due to a calculation of the credits for sentence reduction made by the Mont-de-Marsan Prosecutor’s Office, starting from 30 years instead of 25 as the legal limit for the accumulation of sentences in the Spanish system. Well, if this limit had been established by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, if this limit had been enforced, I would have had to be released immediately. Instead, she changed her mind, because she decided that French law should now be applied. A doubly wrong analysis, as my lawyer has already told you in a letter. Technically, it is explained in this way only to understand, in fact, if article 132-23-1 of the French penal code says that convictions pronounced by the criminal jurisdictions of the European Union must be taken into account, on condition that they do not aggravate the situation of the convicted. The legal limit of 30 years of accumulation in French law would therefore be “valid”, in quotations, if I had been sentenced to life imprisonment. This limit would be reduced to 20 years if my sentence had been 30 years, but it is 25 years! So the deliberate error of the prosecutor is obvious. It is Article 362-2 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure. Technically it is quite simple to understand, but when there is a political will behind it that opposes freedom, everything becomes vindictive.

Madrid, Spain: GUERRA A LA GUERRA. FUCK OTAN. NATO SUMMIT IN MADRID ON JUNE 29 AND 30 EN/ES

Posted on 2022/03/06 - 2022/03/06 by darknights

GUERRA A LA GUERRA. FUCK OTAN
NATO SUMMIT IN MADRID ON JUNE 29 AND 30

On June 29th and 30th a new NATO summit will be held in Madrid. This military organization was created after World War II as a weapon to defend the interests of the winner of the war: capitalism.

During these days the streets will be filled with military, owners of arms companies, leaders… with the aim of planning and developing new war scenarios, new weapons and ultimately prepare for all the difficulties and adverse scenarios that the techno-capitalist project may encounter.

In a world increasingly precarious and full of miseries we have been able to see how little by little the military presence in the streets has been normalized, as for example the military deployment during the pandemic generating a climate of war, terror and social control. A demonstration of force, of government of the catastrophe with military forces as protagonists such as, for example, NATO.

NATO not only defends the geostrategic projects of capitalism and imposes its way of life on the entire planet, but will also be the main shock force against the revolts that follow. One of these geostrategic conflicts is the one taking place right now between Russia and NATO, with Ukraine as a scenario. That region has been destabilized in a state of permanent low-intensity warfare and with elements of the so-called “hybrid war” between the imperialist powers since 2014.

From the media, the army has been getting a facelift since the pademia and now they pretend to sell us the idea of NATO as a pacifying force, which is totally far from reality.

That is why we launched this blog with the aim of providing information, analysis and calls against the NATO summit because we refuse to become merchandise for their wars.

OUR WAR IS THE SOCIAL WAR
FUCK NATO

Spain: Solidarity with the repressed comrades, accused of burning a Bankia ATM EN/ES

Posted on 2022/02/20 by darknights

On October 29th, 2018 two anarchist comrades from Madrid were arrested accused of a fire sabotage to a Bankia ATM on April 13th of the same year. They have recently received the news that their trial has been dated for April 7, 2022.

The Prosecutor’s Office together with Bankia and Mapfre (the bank’s insurer) are asking for 3 years for Damages and 17,000 euros in Civil Liability. In the police statement, the fact is related to a statement uploaded to counterinformation websites in which the action was vindicated in solidarity with Lisa, sentenced to 7 years (now in third degree) for a bank robbery in Aachen (Germany). They also say that the comrades are recognized anarchists, mentioning identifications at rallies, poster-attachments or arrests in evictions. All this rhetoric is used to justify the ideological aggravant since the comrades, being anarchists, hate the banks, and Bankia in this case would be a victim of this “ideological hatred”.
