On March 9, just before the day changed to 10, the day on which 13 years ago in Dafni, the revolutionary Lambros Fountas was killed in an exchange of fire with cops, we placed a device1 in a branch of Eurobank on Papanikoli Street in Halandri.
Walking alongside or in the turmoil of the days we decided to make our statement as combatants of the social war. Apart from the timeless and undeniable symbolism of attacking a bank, we cannot fail to mention the fact that this bank, apart from being located in one of the most central nodes of Halandri, is only two blocks away from the police station of the area.
Because memory is not rubbish and the struggle against oblivion is a struggle for freedom, we attempted to contribute to the aggravation of the social war. A war that the state is fighting, either indifferently, as in the case of Tempi, or by targeting, as in the case of the poverty-stricken Fragoulis and Sampanis2. Of course, in this field our own side could not fail to count losses, such as that of our comrade and member of the revolutionary organisation EA [Επαναστατικός Αγώνας, Revolutionary Struggle] , Lambros Fountas.
In no way can the Tempi incident be equated with the military choice of the state to attack the oppressed in general, let alone the deeply ideological choice of eliminating a strategic enemy of the state who fell bleeding from the fire of the killer cops in a preparatory action of the organisation. The comrade with his actions gave flesh and bones to the slogan “Fear must change sides” which is the political issue of our days, accepting the all-out attack of the state and capital, we are called to change the correlations and fight back.
To make fear change sides
To honour the memory of our own dead by attacking every symbol of sovereignty. To attack state and capitalist targets by taking revenge for every moment of oppression for our own fallen in the social war, a war that is raging and will continue to rage and can only be won.
SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANARCHIST HUNGER STRIKER ALFREDO COSPITO

Listen how the cop’s voice trembles tonight…

DN Notes
-
The media scum are claiming it was a ‘Γκαζάκι’ Gazaki, when camping stove gas cannisters are used alongside petrol & even sometimes a firecracker plus a rudementary delayed fuse. Even sometimes smaller versions are thrown during riots in Greece, like an explosive molotov.
