Athens, Greece: Arson Attack on the Offices of New Democracy

We take responsibility for the attack with an incendiary device on the premises of the local organization of New Democracy, the 5th municipal district in Agios Eleftherios on Petrides Street in the early morning of October 13th. We chose to place the device in front of the metal door of your offices because while we had the option to break into them and burn you completely, we did not want to risk the safety of the residents of the apartment building located above your hole. So we consciously hit this target and minimized the damage because for us it had great symbolic value, which was clearly proven by the fact that you kept quiet about it.

In its 50 years it has remained and will go down in history for the dozens if not hundreds of scandals with kickbacks, murders, trafficking rings, participation in fascist groups, etc. This right-wing, patriotic-traditional party, which still gathers a huge percentage of supporters, has been in power for 5 years and with a specific and methodical plan has created the ultimate European paradise for domestic and international capital, but also for the mafias of the whole world, and absolute hell and dystopia for the lower economic and social strata. New Democracy and all its cronies (judges, mafia, businessmen) act shamelessly and cynically without trying to hide their atrocities, sodomizing anyone who tries to take out their laundry or opposes even their own victims.

In a world where citizens’ discontent is limited to painless protests for the state, harmless symbolism and “remembrance feasts”. All this at the same time that the most murderous government of the 21st century is devouring and plundering the last forest areas on the altar of profitability, which is stifling entire settlements. the same moment that orchestrates dozens, and for us who count the deaths from covid as such, thousands of state murders. Migrants at the border, at sea, in police stations, Roma by cops for any reason, militants, prisoners, females, drug addicts. It is as if the 7 plagues of Pharaoh fell on our heads, except that it is not some god who punishes us, but the state and its armed minions who seek by force to make us a “civilized country”. the one that dismantles hospitals and is responsible for thousands of dead, the one that burns-floods-loots and murders in the name of its own god, capital. With the most recent 2 murders of immigrants in the 2 most “famous” for their barbarity police stations, Agios Panteleimonas and Omonoia. And this power is not impersonal.But above all it is not invincible. The people who make it up have houses-jobs-offices-vehicles, the parties have their own offices, all the institutions exist somewhere in physical form. Power is not an abstract concept that is imposed and fragments our lives. It is the people of the state and capital, and it is a methodical plan of them and their external allies that the Trojan Horse is attacking us.

The repressive framework that they have installed and is managed by the Greek police aims to neutralize those who resist their universal hegemony. That is why they want to put us in the cells they build to punish those who exclude from their orders. What is unprecedented in the period we are going through is the intransigence of the state and the “omerta” attitude that this government has been holding since 2019. All these years many struggles have been opened by various subjects and a striking example is the hunger strikes of political and non-political prisoners, few of whom have been vindicated.

The consistency of speech-action, aggressive solidarity and the transmission of empirical knowledge are the characteristics that give us hope no matter how dystopian things may appear. The war against the state continues and our values lead us to expand the struggle.

Solidarity with the militant prisoner Thanasis Pikasis!

Free Nikos Maziotis!

Fire in the cells of the Republic!

Victory to the weapons of resistance in the Middle East and Kurdistan!

Feet on Earth, head in the sky, soul always deep!
