CALL FOR
INTERNATIONALIST SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANARCHIST MOVEMENT, THE SQUATS, THE REFUGEES
AND IMMIGRANTS, AND SOCIAL AND CLASS RESISTANCE IN GREECE

Since last summer – after the
elections of July 7th and the change of
political administration- a state repressive campaign is underway in Greece,
which, since the very beginning, has targeted the people of the struggle- and
especially the anarchist movement –  the
squats and the self-organized structures of the movement, the refugees and
immigrants and social and class resistance in general.

One of the first steps of the new
right-wing government was the abolition of the university asylum, the police
occupation of the neighborhood of Exarcheia – a neighborhood invested with a
quite rich struggling past and present – and the eviction of squats for
refugees and the subsequent transportation of hundreds of refugees and
immigrants in concentration camps, realizing in this way the anti-immigration
policies of the EU, directed towards modern totalitarianism.

This
repression campaign is still unfolding, since the danger of further evictions
of squats is in sight, while, at the same time, through a series of laws, labor
strikes are basically being abolished, the privatization of the basic social
needs is promoted and the plundering of nature by multinational corporations in
every part of the country is completely liberalized.

On the
other side, social, class and political collectives are already attempting to
place the first barricades against the anti-social plans of the state and the
bosses. The mass demonstration of September 14th, 2019, which was organized by the “NO
PASARAN” assembly, has been a first dynamic response against the state’s plans,
by thousands of people of the struggle marching the streets, clearly stating
that the movement will not retreat before state repression. It will continue
fighting in every front, in which state and capitalist attack is unfolding.

Against the repressive attack of the
Greek state and its imminent escalation the next period of time, we stand in
solidarity with the anarchist movement, the political squats and the squats for
immigrants and refugees and the structures of the struggle –from the squats
Mundo Nuevo and Libertatia, which is almost fully rebuilt, in Thessaloniki, to
the 31 years old squat Lelas Karagianni 37 in Athens, and with all the social
and class struggles in Greece.

The promising people’s revolts in
Ecuador and Chile, the vigorous resistance in revolutionary Rojava, the
continuing mobilizations in Greece, France, Turkey, Palestine, the small and
bigger acts of resistance all over the world give us hope and strength and
demonstrate that the enemy might be strong but is not invulnerable. Let’s
intensify and spread the combative and organized struggle for Social
Revolution, for Anarchy! 

NO PASARAN!

SOLIDARITY WILL WIN!
