EVERYONE TO THE STREETS - REVOLT

Område: athens exarcheia greece

Many people were attacked in their homes and the social centres, with the
cops beating them up or breaking glasses on their arms and heads. Medical
help to them was refused, and many people were arrested by the cops.

Greek cops attacked a social centre for immigrants' rights at Tsamadou 13
street in Exarcheia, Athens, a self-organisation social centre at Zaimi
street, and people's homes around the Exarcheia district.

News break out quickly on the Athens Indymedia website, and the cops (who
do watch Indymedia regularly) knew that comrades would quickly gather at
the Police HQ Building in Alexandras street, were arrested people usually
are taken at for interrogation. To avoid the incoming comrades, the cops
decided to take the arrested people to the Petrou Ralli police station
further south in the city, away from the comrades who were gathering
outside the Police HQ Building in solidarity.

The cops also attacked private homes in Exarcheia district, beating up and
injuring people living there. One of the injured was Ioanna Manousaka, who
decided to give an interview to the Eleftherotypia daily newspaper. She
says she participated peacefully in the march and went back to her home to
have a rest, but after a few minutes she suddenly heard cops breaking her
door. She went there to have a look and the cops went inside and started
beating her up, injuring her severely on the head. They destroyed the lock
on her door and broke it into pieces. After beating her up and injuring
her severely inside her own home, the cops left without arresting her
since an official record of arrest would reveal their behaviour to the
media. They probably expected the victim to keep silent out of fear, but
unfortunately for them she had the guts to go and report them to the
media.

Later, the cops went to some coffee houses in Exarcheia and broke their
glass windows, shouting against the people inside.

Historically the courts of Greece don't prosecute members of the police
force, even those who have killed common pedestrians. On 6 December 2008 a
Greek cop, Epaminondas Korkoneas, with a colleague, killed a 15-year old
youth named Alexandros Grigoropoulos in Exarcheia. They were taken to jail
and these days they are being tried at a courtroom. However, there are
already rumours that they might be freed in the near future. Witnesses
already refuse going to the court, saying the courts are corrupted and the
outcome of the trial is pre-determined, and they are afraid of their
safety since they report that they are being followed every day by
undercover police who spy on them.

That was a day in 'democratic' and 'free' Greece. In the meantime, the
government (which calls itself 'socialist') just voted for new laws
lowering the minimum labour wage and cutting wages, salaries, and
pensions, while increasing taxes. All that in the name of 'necessary' and
'nation-saving' IMF and EU loans, when the common people demand higher
taxes for the rich or even the replacement of representative democracy and
capitalism with workers' self-management and self-organised communes
catering to people's needs rather than to the profits of multinational
corporations.

-------------------------------------------

Statement by the Skaramanga squat in Athens regarding General Strike's events

The murderers “mourn” their victims

(Regarding today’s tragic death of 3 people)

The enormous strike demonstration which took place today, 5th of May
turned into a social outflow of rage. At least 200,000 people of all ages
took to the streets (employees and unemployed, in the public and private
sector, locals and migrants) attempting, over many hours and in
consecutive waves, to surround and to take over the Parliament. The forces
of repression came out in full force, to play their familiar role – that
is, of the protection of the political and financial authorities. The
clashes were hours long and extensive. The political system and its
institutions reached a nadir.

However, in the midst of all this, a tragic event that no words can
possibly describe took place: 3 people died from infusions at the branch
of Marfin Bank on Stadiou Avenue, which was set ablaze.

The state and the entire journalistic riff-raff, without any shame toward
the dead or their close ones, spoke from the very first moment about some
“murderer-hooded up youths”, trying to take advantage of the event, in
order to calm the wave of social rage that had erupted and to recover
their authority that had been torn apart; to impose once again a police
occupation of the streets, to wipe out sources of social resistance and
disobedience against state terrorism and capitalist barbarity. For this
reason, during the last few hours the police forces have been marching
through the center of Athens, they have conducted hundreds of detentions
and they raided – with shootings and stun-grenades – the anarchist
occupation “space of united multiform action” on Zaimi street and the
“migrant haunt” on Tsamadou Street, causing extensive damage (both these
places are in the Exarcheia neighbourhood of Athens). At the same time the
threat of a violent police eviction is hanging over the rest of the
self-organised spaces (occupations and haunts) after the Prime-ministerial
speech which referred to soon-to-come raids for the arrest of the
“murderers”.

The governors, governmental officials, their political personnel, the
TV-mouthpieces and the salaried hack writers attempt in this way to purify
their regime and the criminalise the anarchists and every unpatronised
voice of struggle. As if there would ever be the slightest of chances that
whoever attacked the bank (provided the official scenario stands) would
possibly know there were people inside, and that they would torch it
alight regardless. They seem to confuse the people in struggle for
themselves: them who without any hesitation hand over the entire society
to the deepest pillage and enslaving, who order their praetorians to
attack without hesitation and to aim and shoot to kill, them who have lead
three people to suicide in the past week alone, due to financial debts.

The truth is that the real murderer, the real instigator of today’s tragic
death of 3 people is “mister” Vgenopoulos, who used the usual employers’
blackmailing (the threat of sacking) and forced his employees to work in
the branches of his bank during a day of strike – and even in a branch
like the one of Stadiou Avenue, where the strike’s demonstration would
pass through. Such blackmailing is known only too well by anyone
experiencing the terrorism of salaried slavery on an everyday level. We
are awaiting to see what excuses Vgenopoulos will come up with for the
relatives of the victims and for the society as a whole – this
ultra-capitalist now hinted by some centers of power as the next prime
minister in a future “national unity government” that could follow the
expected, complete collapse of the political system.

If an unprecedented strike can ever be a murderer…

If an unprecedented demonstration, in an unprecedented crisis, can ever be
a murderer…

If open social spaces that are alive and public can ever be murderers…

If the state can impose a curfew and attack demonstrators under the
pretext of arresting murderers…

If Vgenopoulos can detain his employees inside a bank – that is, a primary
social enemy and target for demonstrators…

…it is because authority, this serial murderer, wants to slaughter upon
its birth a revolt which questions the supposed solution of an even
harsher attack on society, of an even larger pillage by capital, of an
even thirstier sucking of our blood.

…it is because the future of the revolt does not include politicians and
bosses, police and mass media.

… it is because behind their much-advertised “only” solution, there is a
solution that does not speak of development rates and unemployment but
rather, it speaks of solidarity, self-organising and human relationships.

When asking who are the murderers of life, of freedom, of dignity, the
ferments of authority and capital, they and their tuft hunters only need
to take a look at their own selves. Today and every day.

HANDS OFF FREE SOCIAL SPACES

IT IS THE STATE AND THE CAPITALISTS WHO ARE THE MURDERERS, TERRORISTS AND
CRIMINALS

EVERYONE TO THE STREETS

REVOLT
