Athens,Greece : Call for solidarity support at the courts Κάλεσμα στήριξης για τα δικαστήρια 22-24/01/2020 [ENG/GR]
[ENG]
On Saturday 11/1, the resquatting attempt of the buildings on Panaitoliou and Matrozou streets in Koukaki was violently attacked by the repressive forces of the state. The result was that 12 people in total were arrested from within the squats, people who were badly beaten, and also 9 more solidarians who supported the resquatting attempt in the neighbourhood.
The oppression continued on Sunday 12/1 when the cops attacked the solidarians outside of Evelpidon, arresting 2 more people.The fighting spirit and the decisiveness of the comrades in Koukaki might be answered with slander and attempts to terrorise us, but they inspire us to bigger and stronger struggles, not just in Koukaki but in every effort of resistance.
We support the cases:
– On Wednesday 22/1 at 9am for the arrests of Panaitoliou.
– On Thursday 23/1 at 9am for the arrests of Matrozou, as well as the ones outside Evelpidon.
– On Friday 24/1 at 9am for the arrests of the solidarians outside the squats.
– Nobody left alone in the hands of the state

[GR] Το Σάββατο 11/1 η προσπάθεια ανακατάληψης των κτιρίων στις Παναιτωλίου και Ματρόζου στο Κουκάκι χτυπήθηκε βίαια από τις κατασταλτικές δυνάμεις του κράτους. Το αποτέλεσμα ήταν να συλληφθούν συνολικά 12 άτομα μέσα από τις καταλήψεις, που χτυπήθηκαν άσχημα, καθώς και άλλα 9 αλληλέγγυα που στήριζαν την προσπάθεια της ανακατάληψης στη γειτονιά. Η καταστολή συνεχίστηκε την Κυριακή 12/1 με την επίθεση των μπάτσων στον αλληλέγγυο κόσμο που είχε βρεθεί στην Ευελπίδων, συλλαμβάνοντας άλλα 2 άτομα.Μπορεί η μαχητικότητα και η αποφασιστικότητα των συντρόφων/ισσών στο Κουκάκι να απαντιέται από το κράτος με λασπολογία και προσπάθεια τρομοκράτησης, αλλά εμάς μας εμπνέει για μεγαλύτερους και πιο δυναμικούς αγώνες, όχι μόνο στο Κουκάκι αλλά και σε κάθε προσπάθεια αντίστασης εν γένει.
Στηρίζουμε τα δικαστήρια που γίνονται:
– Τετάρτη 22/1 στις 9πμ για τις συλλήψεις στην Παναιτωλίου.
– Πέμπτη 23/1 στις 9πμ για τις συλλήψεις στη Ματρόζου, καθώς και αυτές έξω από την Ευελπίδων.
– Παρασκευή 24/1 στις 9πμ για τις συλλήψεις των αλληλέγγυων εκτός καταλήψεων.

Athens,Greece: Attacks on new democracy office(pettralona area) by Anarchists
On friday, 17/01, during the anniversary march of terror of Shahrzad Loghman, we attacked the local office of new democracy in pettralona with molotovs and stones. However the office, mostly has been cover by metals.
clearly, it is the greek oligarchy regime as our enemy, so targeting the office of new democracy was only part of our counter attacks against the regime. SYRIZA and NEW DEMOCRACY are same as being both puppet of the greek oligarchy regime. We believe that the answer of state violence is returned the violence to the state, in any means that comrades understand it.
We are living in 2020 that cops are armed to tooth with different types of weapons, so it is not 500 years ago that probably we could coping with soldiers of state by fires and stones, so the need of modern struggles should created the new and more armed resistance groups inside the movement with modern weapons, which can returned the state violence to the state in the levels that they used against us, like the murders of Alexis.G, Zak and others.
The social revolution, will happens on the base of workers struggle, in the time that workers will stop working and making riots in the streets. However preparation of social revolution include two general types of struggles that are supplements of each other: armed struggle that should be a part of a resistance movement in the term of closed groups and other is the open struggle that has ability for everyone to join it, like collectives, demonstrations and squats, which openly represent the struggle for society.
Bosses are bosses, no matter left or right.
Power and solidarity to our wanted comrade Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis

Agadez, Niger : Incendiary revolt of Sudanese refugees in a UN camp – 4 January 2020
Sans_Attendre
A revolt broke out in a camp of the UN at Agadez in Niger, Saturday January 4 2020.
Almost 90 per cent of the camp was reduced to ashes. They had been protesting since the middle of December to have their requests for refugee status and their shipment to Europe to be speeded up.
The Nigerian police affirm that they have “identified 335 Sudanese asylum seekers who participated in the fire in their accommodation shelter, a camp situated 15 km from Agadez, in the centre of Niger. According to the Attorney of the High court of Agadez, Seyni Saidou, on January 6 on the local television, the group had been arrested and put at the disposition of the police on Saturday January 4.

Italy – A poster that has appeared on the walls of Lecce
OUR TIMES
Infamy is the hallmark of our times
That is not hard to see: just raise your eyes from your smartphone and look around, throwing a glance at the reality around us and which we are immersed in. Remaining indifferent to the conflicts that flare up in the world, with all their load of thousands of dead and millions of displaced people, believing that the matter does not concern us, because we live in the “non belligerent” part of the planet, for example, is a sign of infamy.
Because the ongoing war has involved the whole planet for many years, and the part not being hit by bombs is the one in which they are they manufactured, armies train to massacre or to teach other armies the same, and they train the pilots of the bombers of those wars in the airports nearby … Not to see the suffering of the millions of refugees forced to wander around the planet in search of survival, willing to risk their lives in crossing deserts and seas, at the mercy of those who speculate on that suffering, is also a sign of infamy.

Moreover the civil parties are claiming 3154 euros for the storefront and the town hall over 35,000 for the cost of the Dacia vehicle belonging to the municipal police. These damages will be fixed at a future hearing.

Italy: Updates about some anarchist prisoners (January 2020)
We briefly summarize the latest updates on the situation of some anarchist prisoners in Italy.
On November 29, 2019 a search took place in the cell of the Sardinian anarchist Davide Delogu, imprisoned in the Rossano Calabro prison. At the same time, he was notified of the opening of an investigation for “association with the purpose of terrorism or subversion of the democratic order” (art. 270bis of Italian criminal code). Subsequently, he was returned some previously seized manuscripts. A week later, the guards informed him that a telephone had been found in the sewers of the prison and that they intended to charge him with its possession; Davide refused to have it x-rayed and undressed.
We remind you that a solidarity fund has been opened for Davide Delogu, the coordinates are: Owner: Laura Gargiulo. Iban: IT27E0306967684510327514549.
This is the address of the comrade: Davide Delogu, C. R. di Rossano Calabro, Contrada Ciminata snc, 87067 Corigliano-Rossano (Cs), Italy.

Cologne, Germany: Sabotage of over 200 ‘Lime’ scooters – December 2019
In December, « Greta and Kenny » focused on a neighbourhood of Cologne as a test and dismantled over 200 electric scooters. « Lime », the biggest supplier of electric scooters for hire had decided not to reduce its offer in the hotter cities due to meteorological conditions. From now on, targeted sabotage has significantly reduced the number of scooters in the affected neighbourhood.
By giving a heavy blow across the screen of the electronic command (with a hammer, a metal tip of the mandrel or pin type), the scooter says goodbye and can no longer be unlocked. Repairs cost hundreds of euros; the Hipster-Mobil is usually withdrawn from circulation for a few days. Of course, the supplier has replacement equipment in stock. But he prefers to avoid the indocility of regular sabotage. In this respect we are sharing experience coming from Switzerland.

“Comme tous les mythes, celui de Prométhée a fait l’objet
d’interprétations les plus diverses, puisque leur fonction est
précisément de mobiliser le passé en fonction du regard qu’on porte sur le présent. A partir de ce feu volé symbole de connaissance, certains ont par exemple insisté sur les tourments courus d’avance par Prométhée comme une métaphore des craintes de l’avenir ; d’autres l’ont utilisé pour mettre les humains en garde contre une volonté de toute puissance technicienne confinant à la démesure ; et d’autres encore l’ont parfois convoqué au nom du mythique destin de masses prolétaires marchant vers le grand soir.
Mais qu’arriverait-il en fin de compte, si plutôt que de se réfugier derrière le mythe d’un nécessaire passeur de feu
intermédiaire, on se débarrassait une fois pour toutes de sa figure pour
se tourner vers l’utopie et agir à la première personne ? Celle de
consciences individuelles insurgées, celle de Titans fabuleux brisant
les chaînes forgées par les dieux modernes de l’autorité et du progrès.
Ô, comme il semblerait alors absurde à tout être dont la prothèse
technologique ne sert ni de conscience ni de cœur, de demander aux
tyrans de régler un problème dont ils sont la cause !”

Greece : Solidarity Statement from Imprisoned of R.O. Revolutionary Struggle Members to the Koukaki Squatting Community
SOLIDARITY TO THE COMRADES OF THE KOUKAKI SQUATTING COMMUNITY
Since the end of August 2019, the state has launched a wide-scale crackdown on self-organized structures, occupations of the anti-authoritarian space and against squats, which also housed refugees and immigrants, mainly families with children. The present ND (Νέα Δημοκρατία / New Democracy) government is attempting to level everything left standing by the previous SYRIZA government, which had made more selective progress, with the goal of evicting squats of either immigrants or self-organized spaces of struggle.
The Koukaki Squatting Community is one of these self-organized structures of struggle, which was evicted some time ago, but their comrades in arms recaptured it yesterday which led to a second intervention by the police which resulted in the arrests and beatings of the comrades and those acting in solidarity. The dynamic resistance of the Koukaki Squatting Community who fought against the MAT (Riot Police) and the EKAM (Special Anti-Terrorist Unit) twice during eviction operations for the first time in such cases in Greece, is an exemplary stance to defend the options and practices of struggle that we should never abandon.
SOLIDARITY TO THE COMRADES OF THE KOUKAKI SQUATTING COMMUNITY

Interview with Anarchist Prisoner Amadeu Casellas in Catalonia
Since June 2018, the anarchist prisoner Amadeu Casellas is back in prison, accused of stealing 300,000 euros in Sabadell, Catalonia. As told by Amadeu, at the time of arrest, he was working at his home; they found absolutely nothing and also the victim did not recognize him at first, the judge took no consideration of these details when decreeing detention. He is currently imprisoned in Brians I prison in Catalonia. The following interview comes from the revolutionary website La Haine.
I first send my solidarity and that of La Haine to you in this new prison in which you’ve been suffering for months. How do you feel?
Very good.
How was your arrest and this new accusation?
At about 5 am they blew open the door where I lived. I was sleeping. I heard the noise and at first thought it was a neighbor, did not even think it was for me. Hooded police entered, threw themselves on me. I was hurt in the fifth and sixth vertebrae and I had to be taken to Granollers hospital. I had to wear a collar for about 20 days and was prescribed an anti-inflammatory.
I was accused of armed robbery. Some 20 policemen checked, and found nothing.
After spending years in prison, you came out in 2010 and now, 9 years later, you’ve been taken back to prison. Have you seen any change in the prison reality between these days?

Athens, Greece : Obsidian: Against Nations, all out on the 18th January against the state
Anarchy if anything is total opposition to the nation state. Anarchists don’t just critique or hold a strong suspicion of states, our movement was founded on their negation. This new decade is a new era for nations, one that will likely break them from their historical model. Within this vaccuum our ideals will be increasingly relevant and thrive if able to adapt. The opposite is true for the left wing of capital, those Marxists and liberals who already look like caricatures from the past. For this reason we must vigorously oppose any compromise with old ideas. Our world is moving too fast to look back.
Our current moment is a train crash of climate emergency, forced migration, mass information, war and growing population. To say the old system is only breaking is an understatement. It broke long ago and is now collapsing under it’s own weight like the many empires before it. Unfortunately the same common history still applies, new beginnings come after violent, unpredictable ends.

Comments Off on Kos Greece : the “island of Hippocrates”
Kos Greece : the “island of Hippocrates”
Kos: the “island of Hippocrates” but also of extreme tourism and refugee humiliation, the island of cycling but also of disgusting sexual harassement.
As a cyclist and especially as a nature lover, I consciously choose to ride my fixed gear as far as I can, all around the island. My bicycle is my passion and my therapy, a way of training and meditation, my partner and my coach. I feel an indescribable freedom, self- reliance and autonomy. Cycling gives me strength, desire, joy, and for the most part I feel that the fear of travelling alone disappears over time. Safety is unfortunately not on that list because of lack of general manners, driver education, but also sexist behavior.
A few days ago, I was systematically harassed in a central but remote part of the highway (Villa Tartaruga turns), in broad daylight, by a passing driver who decided to overtake me 4 times, making dangerous u-turns and flanking me, on a steep uphill road, where I decided to dismount and walk. I get horns beeped at me on all of my cycling routes, for one reason or another, but this time included shouting sexual obscenities repeatedly, making me wonder if that piece of trash driver was waiting for me at the top of the hill. Not to mention the danger he posed to other drivers with his repeated u-turns up a steep hill with zero visibility. In this case, the driver decided to continue his course, since I did not grant him a ‘provocative’ reaction, for various reasons at that time.

New anarchist publication RUMOER #1 out now. EN/NL
We want more uproar, which is why we give you RUMOER! A publication which will hopefully provoke discussion, irritation, inspiration, agitation, and attack. Because we do not want a raise in wages, but the destruction of work. Because we do not want to shout ‘boo!’ but want to hear BOOM! We want a confrontation without compromise with the system that is destroying our lives and the planet.
In this first issue you will fi nd texts about the increasingly
disgusting expanding technologisation
of the world. Another one outlines why it is really not necessary to
have your phone with you at all times. Furthermore, we will talk about
police violence and the worldwide revolts against it, from Chile to
Iraq. Incisive texts concerning leftist misery, affi nity and
‘professional’ activism in a triptych of translations also appear in
this edition; after these, there is a critical text about the current
discourse of a large activist group dealing with the climate. And last
but not least, a primarily happy end — a chronicle of attacks and
anarchist interventions, by way of entertainment and necessary
inspiration.
