Greece: Arson Attack on Post Office Vans for Comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris

We take responsibility for the arson of three ELTA [Hellenic post] vans in Kallithea at dawn 13/12.

It’s been a long road to get here.Very long brother.The handcuffs were weighing on the hands.In the evenings when the little globe shook his head saying “the time has passed”.We read the history of the world in first names, in some dates carved with the nail on the walls of prisons, in some childish drawings of the dying people-a heart, a bow, a ship that definitely tore time.In some verses that were left in the middle to finish them, in some lyrics that ended so that we do not finish.It was a long road to this point-difficult road.Now this road is yours.You hold it as you hold your friend’s hand and measure the pulse of the pan in this mark left by the handcuffs.Normal pulse-Sure hand-Sure road.

On 31/10, an explosive mechanism exploded in an apartment on Arcadia Street in Ampelokipi, causing anarchist Comrade Kyriakos Ximiris to lose his life and injuring anarchist Comrade Marianna M. The following days were followed by a media show, usual by Greek standards, which showed the way for what would follow from the anti-terrorist and power in general. The state as a whole, with the cooperation of cops, media and judges, presents the much-played scenarios of the revival of domestic terrorism, enriching them, so as not to get bored with the rush it watches, with the characterization “third generation of terrorism”.

In our part, we do not initially accept the term terrorism in terms of the city’s guerrilla and general political antibody. For us, terrorism is living below the poverty line, expensive rents, exorbitant bills, gentrification and redevelopment, cop rule, non-functioning trains and guns that fire in the air.

Secondly, the guerrilla city is not divided into generations. Organized political counterviolence has lived in history for hundreds of years and flourishes or declines depending on social conditions. The violent struggle will continue until the collapse of capitalism and power.

The state sees this repressive operation as an opportunity to launch an all-out attack on the anarchist movement and all struggling subjects to end once and for all its internal enemy. The events of Ampelokipoi should build consciousness in all revolutionary subjects and create new insurrectionary events and bring radical action back to the forefront. The death of our comrade inspires and makes us grit our teeth, turn the pain of loss into rage and attack by all means the state and its lackeys.

We take responsibility for the arson of three ELTA vans in Kallithea at dawn 13/12.

We dedicate our action to comrade KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS who will always be here in every aspect of the anarchist struggle.
