Thessaloniki, Greece: Attacks in solidarity with the comrades of 8/2

Posted on 2022/02/20 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

On 8/2 in the early morning hours, comrade Thanos Xatziagkelou and comrade Georgia Voulgari were arrested on the occasion of an arson attack at the Foundation for National and Religious Reflection and in the afternoon of the same day, comrade Panos Kalaitzis was arrested with a unique connection between his friendly and comradely relations with the former. In the following days the charges were upgraded to formation and membership of the Anarchist Action Organization and on Friday 11/2 the prosecutor ordered their pre-trial detention.

As a reflexive and minimal response we proceeded with coordinated attacks with hammers on :

1 atm in Agia Sofia Street in the Centre

2 atm on Agios Dimitrios Street in the Centre

1 atm in Triandria

1 atm at the War Museum

1 bank in Neapoli

1 supermarket and 1 atm in Neapoli

For us it is known that the state suppresses the internal enemy when it returns a share of the violence of power and criminalizes friendly and comrade connections.

At the same time it covers up gender violence, child rape of the holy mafia and the prominent rapists of the economic elite. It tortures in the hellholes of the police stations, drowns immigrant women, murders workers and imprisons fighters.

In this social war the position we have taken is clear and it is the sharpening of action against the state and capital and the attack on every structure of domination.

STRENGTH AND SOLIDARITY TO THE COMRADES ARRESTED ON 8/2

LIBERATION TO ALL PRISONERS OF THE SOCIAL WAR

NOTHING IS OVER EVERYTHING CONTINUES

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ON THE BATTLEFIELDS

Thessaloniki, Greece: Political position of the anarchist prisoner Thanos Hatziangelou on the attack on the IETF (“Foundation for National and Religious Reflection” )

Political position of the anarchist prisoner Thanos Hatziangelou on the attack on the IETF (“Foundation for National and Religious Reflection” )

Gender violence is not just a fact. It is the constantly imposed normality of patriarchal suffocation. Daily femicides, countless rapes and abuses, insulting and ironic comments, questioning and bullying. And when these things receive the divine blessing of the civilized obscurantism that the church is reaping, uncompromising rage takes shape, takes to the streets and seeks a voice. Revolutionary violence is taking responsibility.

On 21/01, yet another piece is added to the puzzle of the cultural rot that dominates social and political life. A 37-year-old priest child rapist is accused of systematic indecency against an 11-year-old girl who attended the catechism of the religious pack of pimps in Patisia(Area of Athens). Sadness, disgust, anger but above all responsibility. Responsibility not to bury yet another incident of so many repulsive events that make up the stench of the sacred mafia. Responsibility to leave nothing unanswered. And responsibility, if not translated into action, is lost in the maelstrom between acceptance and resignation.

I carried out the incendiary attack on the Foundation for National and Religious Reflection because the refusal of acceptance arms the affirmation of justification. Because I don’t expect justice for those who systematically sanction the normalization of gender violence and death by demanding explanations and apologies. I made a highly symbolic political intervention with an agent of the sacred mafia in sending a single clear message: In the laws of subjugation, revolutionary justice is the only way forward.

Our ordered captivity shows nothing more than the polarization that fuels two worlds in constant throwing and conflict. I proudly accept my responsibility, with my head held high and a smile on my face, even if it costs the loss of my individual freedom, even if it means starting a new witch hunt, and that is because my own responsibilities weigh as heavy as mountains.

With our bodies imprisoned within walls, bars and chains, but our hearts forever free, we continue our struggle for equality, justice and self-determination.

My absolute support, love and solidarity to the two persecuted Georgia Voulgari and Panagiotis Kalaitzis. My unreserved appreciation to the hundreds of hearts beating on our side and a promise that we will not falter for a moment . ‘ We are at war.

LET’S CRUSH THE HOLY MAFIA
LET’S TAKE OUR LIVES BACK INTO OUR OWN HANDS

Athens, Greece: Letter of Panos Kalaitzis from Korydallos Prison

Posted on 2022/02/20 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

Letter of Panos Kalaitzis

On Tuesday 08/02 at 19.00 I was arrested by the anti-terrorist squad outside my comrade’s house in Ano Polis. The reason for my indictment was the arrest that same morning of Thanos Xatziagkelou and Georgia Voulgari accused of placing an incendiary device in the Foundation for National and Religious Reflection. I was taken to the General Police Directorate of Thessaloniki, where hours later I was informed of my arrest on felony charges and membership of the Anarchist Action organization. I remained in custody for two days in the basements of the GADTH, on Friday 11/02 I passed through the interrogator and the prosecutor where I was notified of my pre-trial detention.

Being now in the throes of a comic process that is taking place against me, I declare myself unequivocally and categorically innocent of all the charges against me. I am currently in custody without a shred of evidence linking me to any participation in the charges against me, without a single mention of my name in the statements of the anti-terrorist police in connection with the activities of the organisation. The only attempted connection is through the house I rented next to the shop I ran with my associates as well as next to my comrade’s house (where I actually lived), which I reserved as a quarantine and recovery space from covid-19.

I am making an effort to stand up to this conspiracy that has been set up to deprive me of my freedom. I am trying to keep my mind alert and clear so that I can resist this injustice that wants to strangle me. I am trying to stand up to this arbitrariness that sees my life as a pawn on an invisible chessboard.

Against those who take human relationships and use them as they want and as it suits them to compose whatever puzzle they design.
I’m going to make it.

Solidarity to my friend, colleague and comrade Thanos Hatziangelou and to comrade Georgia whom I met a few days ago in the basements of the ΓΑΔΘ (Thessaloniki Police HQ cells)

Thessaloniki, Greece: Text of the two hostages comrades from the Thessaloniki Police HQ cells

Posted on 2022/02/20 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

When the state of exception is legitimized around you, then you stand up, you take deep breaths because they are even timing the air, to go on to the end. Until victory.

In the early morning hours of Tuesday 8/2, armed forces of the SWAT (EKAM) and anti-terrorist squads storm a house at 12 Alkinoou Street in the Upper City (Άνω Πόλη) and arrest us. This was preceded by the arson of the IETP (Foundation for National and Religious Reflection), an action for which we have not abdicated responsibility from the first moment to the extent that each of us is responsible. With hoods on our faces and chains on our hands we were kept for 28 hours in isolation in the offices of the anti-terrorist police and then we met the first comradely glances in the courts. Chained between people with no faces, with our heads held high and smiles brimming with pride for what we are, for what they are persecuting us for.

The regime of exclusion has continued inside the detention cells of the ΓΑΔΘ (Thessaloniki Police HQ ) , where every time we have attempted to intervene in the public sphere of movement we find ourselves locked in our cells, a condition that the anti-terrorist police have tried to dress up under arbitrary orders for general detention of all. A condition that must be cut at the root, as our accounts with the hooded anti-terrorist squads are our own. War has rules and an act of revolutionary violence is part of our war. However, we must from now on highlight the entire moves of the anti-terrorist police who, when they attempt to crush people and ideas, frantically look for three people to uphold and set up the criminal case of Article 187A, which deals with the establishment of a terrorist organisation. We are taking our own firm steps at the same time as the anti-terrorist police are rushing ahead in delirious optimism. On the morning of Monday 14/2, the launch of the mandatory DNA collection began, with comrade Thanos being the first to undergo this humiliating condition.
