In the early hours of Monday, February 9, we smashed the window of the Protergia store at 183 Gr. Lambraki Street. The reason we chose this particular target is obvious. Electricity bills are getting higher every month, so that energy barons (such as Mytilineos) can get rich off our backs, exploiting our needs. The price of energy has become an economic game on the stock market over who will make the most, while the poor live in destitution, battered by the rot of this system.

The successive crises (real or fictitious) of the state and capital are taking their toll on the social and class base. It is no coincidence that during “critical” periods, as the state labels them, companies like Protergia increase their turnover and profits. The high cost of supermarket prices, rent, and electricity makes daily life a struggle for survival.

We claim responsibility for the incendiary attacks on the homes of the MAT unit (riot police) at 12 Athanaton Street in Sepolia, on February 9, where Andreas Poligenis resides, and at 4-6 Teas Street in Kaisariani on February 24, as well as at the home of a cop from the OPKE unit [Crime Prevention and Suppression Unit] at 18 Deligianni Street in Exarcheia on March 7. We dedicate these actions to the memory of our anarchist comrade and member of Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas, who fell fighting in an armed clash in Dafni on March 10, 2010. Lambros was a exemplary fighter who advanced the multifaceted struggle with social revolution as its goal. He participated in every aspect of anarchist action, from assemblies, marches, and clashes with the forces of repression to revolutionary armed struggle.

The reasons why we carried out the above attacks are self-evident: we are striking back at those who trample on our dreams. To those who rape people at police stations, to those who mercilessly beat up migrants, to those who protect crooks like the “illustrious” Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, who has dismantled the National Health System, to those who crush strikes and marches, such as the one on 10/31 in honor of the anarchist, armed guerrilla Kyriakos Xymiteris. There must be no truce with those who suppress our lives.

The daily grind of medieval working conditions, class humiliation and extermination of the proletariat, employer impunity and terrorism, austerity measures that strangle the social base, torture in the hellhole police stations, the hundreds of murders at the borders of Fortress Europe, the destitution in detention centers, the permanent panoptic surveillance and mapping of every movement, the upgrading of repression and the legal arsenal of the state, demands the intensification of social resistance, the breaking of the omnipotence of the state through the spread of polymorphous aggressive actions of social violence directed against this insatiable system that annihilates human life and treats us as expendable, as numbers.

Even more so when this daily routine is stained with the blood of people from our class, with state-capitalist murders committed in the name of profit and greed, as was recently the case with the mass murder of workers at the “Violanta” in Trikala, where five female workers were buried under tons of rubble after an explosion caused by a propane leak, as well as the murder of 15 migrants by port police off the coast of Chios during a violent push-back.

We take responsibility for the 6 following arsons:

• The arson at the Alpha Bank ATM in the early hours of December 31st on Artakis Street
• The arson at an Alpha Bank ATM in the early hours of January 7 on Siniosoglou Street
• The ATM arson in the early hours of January 13 on Antigonidon Street

In a world where everything is programmed to work like clockwork for the benefit of the system, there will always be pockets of rebellion. As anarchists in action, we do not want to limit ourselves to clashes with cops on marches (which we obviously consider necessary) but choose to open new dialectics on the street. We refuse to wait for social conditions to mature in order to attack and we propose direct action as a perspective for attacking in the here and now.
