Updates news from the antizionist intervention in Exarchia (3/10) | Exarchia antizionist neighborhood (Athens,Greece)

On Friday 3/10, following the call of the Coordination of activity for
the defense of Exarcheia, an anti-Zionist intervention took place in the neighborhood of Exarcheia. More than 100 comrades took part in the intervention, while throughout its course, the body, moving in a march through the streets of Exarcheia, filled the walls and streets with pro-Palestinian/anti-Zionist posters, sprays, stencils and trikes,
distributed texts, while at the same time various interventions were
carried out in hotels and accommodations of Israeli (and non-)
interests.

Exarcheia is not a neighborhood where Zionist discourse is expressed with great ease in the public space, due to the broader political characteristics of Exarcheia and the pro-Palestinian actions of the neighborhood’s assemblies/initiatives. Nevertheless, Israeli capital has settled in the neighborhood mainly through hotels/accommodations. The sharp increase in Israeli real estate and Israeli tourist investments in Greece, centered on the center of Athens, strengthens the economy of the murderous state of Israel, contributing to the resilience of the Israeli
economy. All this at a time when Israel continues to ruthlessly
ethnically cleanse and genocide the Palestinians. At the same time, the existence of Israeli capital in downtown neighborhoods, such as
Exarcheia, seeks to make Exarcheia a safe place, both for Zionists in
general and for the Israelis who actively participate in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Update on Judicial Proceedings for the Evacuation Case of the Squat Behind the School of Chemistry in Thessaloniki (Greece)

The squat at the School of Biology (“To Steki sto Viologiko”)

Squats have always represented breaths of freedom for radical movements, serving as spaces for meeting, political discussion, and the housing of various initiatives. For these reasons, they have always been a thorn in the state’s throat, and thus a frequent target of repression. The Squat at the School of Biology was first occupied in 1987 by students, becoming a new social space for expression. From the very beginning and for the next 34 years, its character and activity were diverse and multifaceted. Groups with different traits and ways of action coexisted within the same space, united by the core values of solidarity and self-organization.Over the years, the space hosted student, theatre, radio, and political initiatives, as well as radical bookstores. It was a venue for countless coffee gatherings, collective cooking, book presentations, film and documentary screenings, Greek language classes for immigrants, self-defense courses, and more. It also became a landmark in Greece’s, and not only Greece’s, DIY music scene.

The squat supported many political and social struggles, including those of students, conscientious objectors to military service, and political prisoners, often raising funds to cover judicial and medical expenses in the spirit of solidarity. Functioning as an active meeting point and forum for discussion in the city, it formed a living cell within the University.

INSURRECTIONS CONTINUE AROUND THE WORLD

29.9.25

Riots have continued to erupt in many countries around the world over the past month, while new countries are entering the cycle of uprisings and clashes with authority, governments and their uniformed protectors.

In France, the clashes between police and demonstrators that erupted in the French capital and many other cities during the strike against the austerity policies proposed by the administration of Emmanuel Macron, continue. After the appeal of the trade unions for a day of demonstrations against budget cuts, over a million workers took to the streets in the greatest mobilization since last year’s battle against the reform of the pension system.

Last week in Manila, capital of the Philippines, clashes between protesters and police broke out when thousands of people took to the streets to protest about one of the most serious corruption scandals in the country in recent years. The rage followed complaints of extensive corruption, the pillaging of the economy and bribes to politicians concerning government infrastructure projects to combat flooding, worth many billions of dollars, which were accompanied by huge scams, greed and political favoritism. The media reported the arrest of over 100 people and the injury of dozens of police officers, while on the internet there were numerous videos showing the violent actions of the police against the protesters.

Έτσι είναι η ζωή! Επικήδειος στον αναρχικό προλετάριο, στον κοινωνικό αγωνιστή, στο αστέρι των Εξαρχείων. Στον σ. Χρήστο Σπήλιο από Άρης Σ.

Έτσι είναι η ζωή! Επικήδειος στον αναρχικό προλετάριο, στον κοινωνικό αγωνιστή, στο αστέρι των Εξαρχείων. Στον σ. Χρήστο Σπήλιο

Έτσι είναι η ζωή Χρήστο όπως έλεγε και ένα τραγούδι που αγαπούσες. Και αυτό της το ‘έτσι’, το σκληρό και το αδυσώπητο, αυτό το ‘έτσι’ που μπορεί να σε πετάξει μια μέρα μπρούμυτα σε ένα βρώμικο κρεβάτι χωρίς πνοή και με τον πόνο χαραγμένο στο πρόσωπο, το γνώριζες καλά φίλε, ήδη από την παιδική σου ηλικία σε εκείνο το φτωχικό υπόγειο των Εξαρχείων που μεγάλωσες.

Ονομάζεται ταξική συνείδηση το να ξέρεις πώς είναι η ζωή, και αυτή ακριβώς η συνείδηση σε έκανε όπως έλεγε κι ένας παλιός επαναστάτης να μετατρέπεις την «απαισιοδοξία της γνώσης σε αισιοδοξία της θέλησης». Με την θέληση αυτή «λεβέντης εροβόλαγες και αητός φτερούγαγες στις στράτες», γεμίζοντας τη ζωή, τον αγώνα, την Αναρχία, τα Εξάρχεια με συνείδηση και συναίσθημα, με στίχους και με τραγούδια, με έρωτα και αγάπη, με τη μέθη του ανθρώπου που ζει «Κάτω από το Ηφαίστειο» –για να θυμηθώ τον τίτλο ενός αγαπημένου σου βιβλίου- και αναζητά τη λάβα για να τον εξαγνίσει.

Στους δύσκολους όσο και ελπιδοφόρους καιρούς που ζούμε η απώλεια του Χρήστου είναι ασφαλώς τεράστια. Γι αυτό και πρέπει να αναπληρωθεί. Η πρώτη ύλη που γεννά Χρήστους βρίσκεται μπόλικη εκεί έξω. Και αν σε τελική ανάλυση σε κάτι μας καλεί η απώλεια του συντρόφου μας, είναι να πάμε αυτήν την πρώτη ύλη να τη βρούμε και να τη γονιμοποιήσουμε, για να γεννηθούν οι Χρήστοι της επόμενης γενιάς!

Ψηλά τις σημαίες του αγώνα!

Για τον αναρχικό προλετάριο, τον κοινωνικό αγωνιστή, το αστέρι των Εξαρχείων!

Τον Χρήστο μας!

Athens,Greece: Intervention in Solidarity with anti-fascist Maja – the oppressed youth will always resist!

UPDATE: The comrades were detained outside of the embassy

During attacks on neo-Nazis on the “Day of Honor” in Budapest on February 23, 2023, several European anti-fascists were arrested and an international manhunt was launched for others. Among them was Maja T.,a young anti-fascist from Jena, Germany, who was arrested in Germany on December 11 and illegally extradited to Hungary on June 28, 2024. After almost a year of cruel solitary confinement in Budapest, Maja, went on hunger strike on June 5, 2025, with the aim to be transfered back to Germany.

“This is happening because I am being subjected to continuous long-term solitary confinement, which means less than 30 minutes of human contact per day – for over 200 days. It is a pre-trial detention in which I am not allowed to study or work, in which I have not been given enough books, the vitamin supplements I need, or timely doctor’s appointments, and in which there is a lack of sufficient daylight and healthy food. I was handed over to a prison that imposes humiliating and degrading security measures for which there is still no justification or explanation. When asked, they remain silent, and so I had to wear handcuffs even in my cell, during official visits, or Skype calls.I have now been forced by several dozen people to undress naked in front of them, but I still didn’t dare to change in my cell out of shame, as there was a camera illegally installed there for three months. What remains to this day are the bedbugs and cockroaches, as well as the light from the hourly checks, which robs me of my sleep at night.”

Την Πέμπτη 9.10, συναντιόμαστε στις 08.15 το πρωί γωνία Στουρνάρη και Τσαμαδού στην πλατεία, από όπου θα περάσει ο αγαπημένος μας Χρήστος για τελευταία φορά. Από εκεί θα τον συνοδεύσουμε στο νεκροταφείο Ζωγράφου όπου θα γίνει η κηδεία του στις 10.30.

Κάθε νύχτα που περνάει σαν ταινία Κι ό, τι ζήσαμε προβάλλεται με φόντο την πλατείαΚάθε νύχτα που περνάει πάντα εδώΚι όλο φεύγω πριν μείνουμε μόνοι το τέλος μη δω

Τρίτη 7 Οκτώβρη ακόμα μια δυσάρεστη είδηση, ακόμα μια μέρα που μας βρίσκει παγωμένους και παγωμένες, ο σύντροφος μας, ο Χρηστάρας μας, ο XR μας, ο παντοτινός πλατειακός μας, την έκανε για πάντα.

Ο σύντροφος Χρήστος Σπήλιος γέννημα θρέμμα της μητροπολιτικής νεολαίας και του ανερχόμενου αναρχικού κινήματος βρέθηκε από την σωστή πλευρά του οδοφράγματος από το 1990.Συμμετείχε αδιάλειπτα και με όλο του το είναι σε κάθε μορφή αγώνα, από την αλληλεγγύη στους πολιτικούς κρατούμενους, σχεδόν παντα ο Χρηστάρας ξεκινούσε ‘’το πάθος’’ ενώ σε πόσα φωτογραφικά στιγμιότυπα σιδηροδέσμιων συντρόφων και συντροφισσών δεν θυμόμαστε τη γροθιά του να μη συνοδεύει το χαμόγελο τους.Από τον μαχητικό και δρομίσιο αντιφασισμό, από τους αγώνες για τα αγαπημένα του Εξάρχεια, έως και τις αντιπολεμικές κινητοποιήσεις, τα δύο τελευταία χρόνια η Παλαιστινιακή κεφίγια είχε γίνει αναπόσπαστο μέρος του σώματος του.

Ο Χρήστος ήταν πάντα εδώ, με την τρέλα του, με το χαμόγελο του ακόμα και με τους δαίμονες του που πάντα τους ξέφευγε.

Ο Χρήστος ήταν πάντα εδώ να χτυπήσει τον ώμο κάθε συντρόφου και κάθε συντρόφισσας όταν το είχε ανάγκη.

Ο Χρήσταρας μας που πάντα κάθε Νοέμβρη ξεκινούσε το προσκλητήριο των νεκρών μας και να ουρλιάζει το Παρών!!!

Έτσι και εμείς ρε Χρηστάρα μας φέτος τον Νοέμβρη στην αγαπημένη σου γωνιά Στουρνάρη και Μπουμπουλίνας θα φωνάξουμε με πάθος:

ΧΡΗΣΤΟΣ ΣΠΗΛΙΟΣ ΠΑΝΤΑ ΠΑΡΩΝ!!!

Για τον σύντροφο Χρήστο Σπήλιο από Νίκος Μαζιώτης-Πόλα Ρούπα

Για τον σύντροφο Χρήστο Σπήλιο

Ο σύντροφος Χρήστος έφυγε. Έφυγε από κοντά μας πρόωρα. Μας συντρόφευε στον α/α χώρο πολλά χρόνια στις διαδηλώσεις, στις συνελεύσεις, στις συγκρούσεις, στις καταλήψεις. Στα μαθητικά του 1991, στο Πολυτεχνείο του 1995, στην πορεία και τις συγκρούσεις ενάντια στην επίσκεψη Κλίντον το 1999, στις αντιπολεμικές διαδηλώσεις του 2003, στη Θεσσαλονίκη στη σύνοδο των ηγετών της Ε.Ε., στις συγκρούσεις ενάντια στα μνημόνια.

Ήταν πάντα παρόν στους αγώνες. Ήταν πάντα παρόν στις συγκεντρώσεις και στις πορείες αλληλεγγύης σε φυλακισμένους συντρόφους και συντρόφισσες. Όπως  και τελευταία στη συνέλευση αλληλεγγύης για εμάς, στις συγκεντρώσεις στα δικαστήρια στη Χαλκίδα, στη Λαμία και στις φυλακές Δομοκού.

Ήταν ο σύντροφος της εξέγερσης. Ήταν ο σύντροφος της αλληλεγγύης. Ήταν ο σύντροφος της προσφοράς και της ανιδιοτέλειας. Ήταν, είναι και θα είναι ο σύντροφος μας στον αγώνα. Ήταν, είναι και θα είναι ο αγαπημενος μας σύντροφος Χρήστος.

Αντίο σύντροφε, δεν σε ξεχνάμε.

Athens,exarxeia- (Greece) On October 3rd, the “International Day of Action for Prairieland Defendants,” (USA) we put up a banner in Messologiou, as a small gesture of solidarity with these brave detainees.

The state’s war against immigrants is escalating in many countries. In USA, the state is not only kidnapping many immigrants but also arresting people who act in solidarity with immigrants. Those arrested are given terrorism charges, which (like Article 187A here) make the already harsh legal penalties in USA even more severe.

FOR COMRADE KYRIAKOS XIMITIRIS By Pola Roupa and Nikos Maziotis (Greece)

FOR COMRADE KYRIAKOS XIMITIRIS

A year ago, comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris lost his life while building an explosive device. He had decided to respond in this dynamic way to some great injustice, to a class and anti-social state policy, to defend a right … Whatever he had decided to do, whatever action he had chosen, it was certainly an armed political action against a savage and deeply unjust system of power that in our time is increasingly showing its anti-social and racist face. A deeply class system of power that is now openly showing its hatred towards anything that does not yield profit and power.

Comrade Kyriakos lost his life while walking the path of armed anti-establishment action. In the great global history of armed struggle, many, many fighters have given their lives in the struggle against authoritarian governments, against totalitarian regimes, against anti-social policies, against interstate wars. They gave their lives in the struggle for a better society. They gave their lives fighting with a weapon in their hands.

They gave their lives placing or constructing explosive devices. They gave their lives for a society without divisions, without poverty, without wars, for social liberation.

Greece: Text by Fotis Tziotzis for the Greek FBI’s hounds

Yesterday at noon, the Greek FBI* conducted a targeted surprise search of my cell and, after a thorough investigation, managed to seize letters of solidarity from comrades abroad as well as an MP3 stick with my favorite music well hidden, which means that a resounding blow was dealt to the music industry!

As if that weren’t enough, a case file was compiled with various sticks, videos, and two empty SIM cards found on other prisoners.

This is not the first time that such a case file has been compiled by the same “hounds,” as two months earlier, during a raid on Korydallos prison where I was being held for trial, a hinge that had fallen from a window was found in my cell and considered a “weapon.”

The state of israel murders. The greek state is complicit (Greece)

The State of Israel murders

For 77 years it has been displacing, pillaging and exterminating the Palestinian population. Incessantly following the nationalist and expansionist Zionist ideology, it has established an apartheid regime against the arab inhabitants. It is pursuing a policy of colonialism, constantly expanding its territory. For the last year and a half, it has been carrying out a genocidal operation in the Gaza Strip, killing tens of thousands of people and driving them to starvation, with the declared aim of removing them completely from the area by any means necessary. At the same time, it is demolishing refugee camps in the West Bank, maiming and murdering people in struggle and directing the atrocities of the settler militias. At international level, it applies the doctrine of ‘preventive war’ and has, in the last year alone, launched police-style warfare operations in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and, most recently, Iran.
The Greek state is complicit
In its effort to increase its geopolitical power and serve its national interests, it is Israel’s most willing and loyal ally in the Mediterranean region, providing full cooperation at the political, military, energy and economic levels. If there is anything left to do in this grim situation, it is to undermine the plans of the Greek state and Israeli interests in Greece.

Wholeheartedly on the side of fighting dignity

5.mp4

Dozens of comrades joined the second day of the gatherings taking place at the courts of the courts of Evelpidon on the occasion of the supplementary investigative procedure for those prosecuted in the Ampelokipi case. Shortly before 9am, EOM(Special Suppressive Antiterrorist Unit )transport transported comrade Dimitra Zarafeta and comrade Dimitris to the interrogator in building 9.

Anarchist comrade Dimitra submitted a memorandum with her positions and spoke about the fabricated indictment and answering a clarifying question from the interrogator about some of the findings of the anti-terrorist investigation.

Comrade Dimitris then submitted his own memorandum that deconstructed the flawed indictment and also answered a clarifying question from the interrogator.

According to information they each received from the investigator, the case file is expected to be closed in the near future as they do not have to wait for any other evidence.

The process ended shortly after 12.30, when the comrades gathered approached the two comrades and, shouting slogans, accompanied them to the transporter cage.

We will be back again tomorrow, Thursday 25/09 at 8:30 when the supplementary interrogation process will continue with the anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos and A.K.

Position of prisoner Giannis Karatsolis from malandrinou prison ( fokidas , Central Greece)

After more than 2 years’ confinement, the time has come for me to take a stand. In fact, the need to publish this text arose from the first moment of my arrest, however, personal reasons from the nature of the initial charges that weighed on me to confinement itself, have been an obstacle.

My arrest took place on 18/01/23 after a police raid on my home, as well as the homes of 6 other people with whom I had exclusively friendly/social relations. In an attempt to build and inflate the conspiracy against us, unrelated things were thrown together, with the aim of charging us with forming a criminal organization, a charge that – although ultimately dropped along with many others – was necessary for the authorities to secure our pretrial detention, but also to create impressions of an alleged great success of the ELAS ( greek police).

During the search that took place at my home on the day of my arrest, the following were found and confiscated: 2 wigs, books, brochures of the anarchist/anti-authoritarian space and other personal items such as clothes, shampoo, etc. Obviously the above were not sufficient to detain me and then a series of methods began, starting with the dictated identifications that the Patras Security Service secured in order to carry out its job.
