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!” →

Schönerlinde/Wandlitz, Germany: Asphalt plant of VINCI/EUROVIA on Fire – for a black spring, for the prisoners in the Ampelokipoi case

Asphalt plant of VINCI/EUROVIA on Fire – for a black spring, for the prisoners in the Ampelokipoi case

A circular economy of death and destruction

Faced with climate crisis, extractivist devastation, and imperialist aggression, a burning asphalt mixing plant owned by one of the world’s largest construction and infrastructure companies actually speaks for itself. Nevertheless, we would like to say a few words about our motives and the company that has been attacked. Because VINCI/EUROVIA is much more than just a producer of asphalt and concrete. This company embodies pretty much everything we despise and that makes this world a place full of oppression, suffering, and misery: highways, airports, dams, (deportation-) prisons, nuclear facilities, military equipment, oil and gas pipelines, mining, and much more…

Everyone who wants to know already knows – the biosphere is suffocating under the gray burden of civilization, and in the near future, many regions of the planet will be uninhabitable as a result of our imperial ways of life and economic practices. Battles over living areas and resources on an unseen scale seem unavoidable, and the current escalation of military conflicts and the relentless war against migrants on the streets of US cities or at the EU’s external borders are already grim signs of what this will look like. Since long we running out of time. The late capitalist world system is in the midst of profound upheaval, and war is becoming the new normal, while the remaining natural world serves only as a source of raw materials to be plundered before others do.

Companies such as VINCI are benefiting across the entire spectrum from these developments. By constructing nuclear reactors, oil pipelines, and gas terminals (such as the one in Brunsbüttel), the company understands how to secure the future of fossil fuel dinosaurs while simultaneously profiting from the illusion of green energy through huge wind farms and hydroelectric power plants. With its motorway and road network spanning several thousand kilometers and over 70 airports in 14 different countries, built and operated by VINCI, the company is also a major pillar of the global transport infrastructure, fueling, inch by inch, a parasitic system that knows only one direction – and that’s leading straight into ecological collapse. Land grabbing, wars, and genocide are inextricably woven into this system and have enabled the triumph of capitalism, whereby our “wealth” and Western dominance are undoubtedly a product of this deadly (colonial) history. However, in the international scramble for power, influence, and resources, that Western dominance must increasingly assert itself against other players, which leads once again to senseless bloodshed, while creating a good mood in the management suites of the arms industry. ReArm Europe is the battle cry from Brussels to prevail in this conflict, and VINCI is also playing a major role in this front of rearmament and militarization. Therefor the company recently acquired Wärtsilä SAM Electronics, which maintains several German Navy shipyards or provides infrastructure services for dozens of British Army facilities. Wars and environmental destruction, which have always gone hand in hand with the expansion of capitalist exploitation, are forcing more and more people to leave their homes, and never before have so many people been displaced worldwide as today. The „dispensable“ masses of people from the global south are being fought with all severity, and their escape routes have long since turned into mass graves with countless deaths. For those who nevertheless manage to make it all the way here, it is not empathy and compassion that await them, but humiliation, racism, and repression. All of these characteristics, which have shaped the public debate on migration in almost all political camps for years, and thus significantly promote (neo-)fascist tendencies. And here comes full circle. Because even the suffering of refugees can be exploited for profit, and VINCI benefits from the construction of deportation centers and border controls under Europe’s rigorous border regime.

L’Haÿ-Les-Roses, France: Arson of a Vinci utility vehicle in solidarity with Yvan

Posted on 2022/07/17 by darknights

During the night of July 7 to 8, rue Paul Hochart in l’Haÿ-Les-Roses (94), we set fire to a Vinci van. Vinci is a shitty company for many reasons but especially due to the fact that it builds prisons. In solidarity with Yvan, an anarchist comrade incarcerated in the Villepinte prison suspected of having set fire to different types of cars, we attacked a vehicle of this company by burning it.

Even if this action won’t reverse the order of things, it will at least put a wrench in the gears of a tangible structure of domination. The targets are everywhere, let’s attack them!

Thoughts to all incarcerated anarchists
Fire to all forms of domination!
Devastate the prisons and long live the attack!

Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against Belasco construction company in Las Condes + Claim by “Grupo de Acción 6 de Julio-Nueva Subversión”

Posted on 2022/07/11 by darknights

During the night of Tuesday, July 5, around 23:00hrs an anonymous cyclist was riding through the wealthy streets of Las Condes to stop at the intersection of Ebro and Encomenderos.

In the place is located the corporate building of the construction company Belasco, the anonymous cyclist manages to enter a small package through the fence to give towards the interior of the building. After a few minutes, the device explodes, causing damage to the facade, mainly to the pillar, the entrance gate and glass of the building.

The unknown silhouette manages to continue its course without any problem or being detected. The typical police personnel for these events arrive at the place: GOPE, LABOCAR, OS-9 in charge of the already traditional Fiscalia Sur, self-styled expert for these cases.

From the progressive government, the Minister of the Interior Izkia Siches said: “the investigations are in progress, I am aware of it and we hope that they will be able to give a quick account. These are facts that we obviously reject as a government and we hope they will not be repeated in our country”.

For his part, the Undersecretary of the Interior, Manuel Monsalve, said: “We must not anticipate judgments, there are audiovisual images of the person who placed the explosive device, with respect to the company Besalco”.

Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), France : Vinci-neration of a utility van

Posted on 2021/09/11 - 2021/09/11 by darknights

It is not easy to find a sordid domain in which Vinci is not involved. From Qatar to Chile, from France to Russia, the flagship industry exports its control infrastructures throughout the world. Destruction of the living, exploitation and confinement of the human being are of course on the menu. So the Vinci utility van that was burned a few days ago in Ivry will not prevent Vinci from continuing to build rubble.

We just hope that besides the good it did us at the time, it will help remind the enraged everywhere that we are not alone and that the flame of revolt is not extinguished. On this subject, we couldn’t help but have a thought for our friend Boris who is still hospitalized while lighting our bonfire.

Fire to the prisons and to those who build them!
