Captive Comrade D. Chatzivasileiadis: 31/7/16 Attack on the Mexican Embassy – 1/8/23 Lorenzo Cruz Ríos, the Fight for Land and Freedom Continues

On the 31st of July 2016, the Organization Revolutionary Self-Defence used weapons to attack the Mexican embassy in Athens, shooting rounds at the embassy building. This second political intervention of Org. Revolutionary Self-Defence revealed that the first intervention two years ago, against the law for type C prisons and the war against the proletariat and migration was not an occasional act, even though it was an emergency response to the need to resist an antirevolutionary measure, but a practical statement of commitment to a strategy of revolutionary fight. Revolutionary internationalism remains a need from the future world that we have to take care of through acts. Seven years after the immediate response of Org. Revolutionary Self-Defence against the Μexican state, my thoughts are with Lorenzo Froylán de la Cruz Ríos, member of the native Communal Guard self-defense team of Santa María Ostula in Michoacán, who disappeared on the 1st of August and was found murdered ten days later, my thoughts are with the social struggles in the mexican territory, the zapatistas resistance against the “Maya” train and the para-state murders of fighters, the movement against the inter-oceanic corridor[1], the movement against the Nicaragua canal, the indigenous people rebellion in Puno[2] and the fighting Indigenous Association for Development and Conservation of Bajo Puinahua (Aidecobap)[3], the fighting communities of Sucre Colombia[4], the fights for Land and freedom everywhere jointly.

The spark of the revolution does not quiet down, for Froylán de la Cruz Ríos[5], for Manuel ‘Tortuguita’ Esteban Paez Terán (Atlanta forest, USA, Stop Cop City, January 2023), for Paolo Todd – Kawa Ahmed[6] (from the indigenous fight at Standing Rock of N. Dakota to Raqqa Syria, January 2017), for Santiago Maldonado (Argentina, 2017), for Remi Fraisse (forest de Sivens, Testet wetlands, France, October 2014), for mapuche brothers and Matías Catrileo[7] (January 2008), for the martyred people’s armies of Kurdistan, for Vassilis Magos (Volos, 2020), for Maria Koulouri (Lefkimmi Corfu, 2008). For all of us until the end of capitalism.
