On the morning of December 31, 2024, we responded to the call for days of action in memory of Kyriakos X and in solidarity with those persecuted in the Ampelokipoi case and destroyed a Siemens vehicle in Berlin-Baumschulenweg with a time-delayed incendiary device. Unfortunately, other vehicles also caught fire in the course of this, which is regrettable.
Siemens has been trying to improve its image in recent years. Withdrawing from some of its armaments sectors and investing in the renewable energy sector was intended to give the company a clean, green and politically correct face.
While food prices around the world, especially in the Global South, have risen by more than one hundred percent in recent years, wages, including those paid by Siemens, have remained the same.
In fiscal year 2024, Siemens achieved a historic high in profit.
The Mobility and Smart Infrastructure sectors in particular contributed to this growth. These sectors are investing massively in Israel’s public infrastructure in occupied Palestine.
While Israel continues to bomb in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, Siemens is profiting directly from the genocide and oppression of the Palestinian population.
For example, Israel uses Siemens security systems in the notorious Gilboa prison, and traffic control systems are installed in the West Bank – on roads that only Israeli citizens are allowed to use.
The intercontinental Euro-Asia submarine cable project is intended to bring the Israeli apartheid state even closer to Europe and its Western allies.
Siemens is therefore a piece in the geopolitical mosaic of Western domination. While states assert their influence by force, companies like Siemens stand ready to establish it and profit from the suffering of others.
Like many people in solidarity before us, all over the world, we want to show solidarity with the persecuted in the Ampelokipoi case with this attack and continue the commemoration of the fallen comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris.
We support and continue the struggles of the comrades and act in resistance against the dominant conditions.
Greek and German cops are working hand in hand to imprison our comrades, to persecute them and to paint a picture of what they call terror.
It is the violence of those in power that is terrorist and not the resistance against it.
In thoughts side by side with Kyriakos, with rage against the murderous wars of capitalism and in solidarity with the imprisoned and oppressed of this world.
