Thessaloniki, Greece: Incendiary Attack at a Cop’s House

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCENDIARY ATTACK AT A COP’S HOUSE

The landscape is constantly changing. Global and domestic developments constantly bring us before the lens of war, filling us with fear and uncertainty. Redistribution of wealth, “neighboring” wars, inflation and so many other words that constantly pound our minds in daily news headlines. Nothing can remind us of the golden decades of yesterday while the future looks bleak. Greece, through its strategic geopolitical position, is not absent from the sphere of global developments. As a member country of N.A.T.O it serves its part for the great powers, while at the same time, trying to combat “domestic enemies”, it tightens its repressive measures.

In recent years, we have observed an extreme form of escalation of the arrogant violence of the state and its institutions. One political scandal follows another, while the state-parastate connection is more evident than ever. The cost of political responsibility is an illusory dream of the past, as everything is unfolding before our eyes. Trafficking circuits, pedophile circuits, illicit construction deals, natural disasters that reveal corruption in infrastructure projects, privatization of state wealth, photographic laws for the persecution of activists and so much more that weave the web of a deep state, which is intertwined in all its individual parts and creates a mafia state.

The biggest and most blatant example of the above is the Tempi case. A case that demonstrated the privatizations to foreign capitalists, the connection of the state with organized crime, the recruitment of their people in key positions, placing on Greek society the responsibility for its long silence regarding the death of 57 people.

All of the above could not be carried out without the existence of the Greek police. A master key to open all doors. Everywhere there is a cop willing to serve the free flow between state and parastate, with his compensation of course. While the state provides them with absolute safety. Even in blatant cases (executions of Roma, shipwreck of Pilos, femicides outside police stations), the cops’ hands are washed clean of blood overnight, giving them the right to roam undisturbed. They plow our cities like sheriffs, militarize our neighborhoods, trying to take back the breaths of freedom we won through the big mobilizations, they attack anyone who struggles and does not express their submissive model.

They are always the ones who will suppress popular anger and protect their bosses by exhausting all the violence they are allowed to use on us. They are the armed human fence that protects our enemies, therefore the first to be targeted and the first to be passed over. And this is because our hatred is a boiling cauldron and is ready to spill everywhere like lava that will burn everything in its path, starting from the boots that block our way to the total destruction of the state apparatus.

For our part, fighting in the social and class war, which is being waged outside the screens of televisions and mobile phones, we must more than ever take up positions of battle with all means, against the state and its institutions. As long as the repressive mechanism shows us its teeth, we know that behind it lies fear, since they know that at any moment the doctrine of law and order can collapse and their social “peace” can be broken. Following the path carved by our comrades who perished by choosing the way of fire, let us also create small cracks in their fragile system, opening paths for our anger to pour out, returning to them a piece of the violence we receive daily.

Fear, then, changes camp. In the early hours of 15/04, we placed an incendiary device at the entrance of the apartment building at 15 Kanari Street in Sykies, where the uniformed scoundrel Konstantinos Gantatsios lives, who serves in the YAT team (at a platoon of the riot police). If you have the illusion that you are invulnerable, remember that the city is small.

We dedicate this attack to the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris, but also to all the comrades who chose the difficult path and fell fighting all that we hate. We must not forget that they continue to live through our actions, since the continuation of their struggle is the greatest weapon against oblivion.

KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS ALWAYS PRESENT
STRENGTH AND SOLIDARITY TO ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS
SOLIDARITY TO EVICTED STEKI OF PHYSICS
