Athens Greece: Cops murder a 16 year old

Updates for yesterday ...

Yesterday's demonstration in solidarity with the arrestees on the past days events was called by anarchists but more people took part or joined in as the protest was going. Around 2000 people participated. The demonstration was powerful but peaceful and it went through the most commercial street of Athens (Ermou), it reached Sintagma square and it returned back where it started using a different route. There was some tension when the protesters were passing outside the Athens Cathedral but since it was decided that this would be a peaceful demonstration, only slogan were written on the building and slogans were shouted against the church and the priests. The riot squads were following but they didn't dare to come close or attack the demonstration. The slogans that were shouted during the protest were very original and not only against the state or the cops but also against consumerism and the those who keep closing their eyes on the events and went to do their christmas shopping, like nothing has happened.

Those who were arrested and are now in prison, waiting trial (which can take several months) released a statement today which concludes: “our bodies may be imprisoned but our mind and spirit are with those still fighting outside”.

In the Polytechnic University there was a new assembly yesterday, after the demonstration. The assembly decided to end the occupation (but not the fight) at midnight. The occupants of the Economic university (ASOEE) had also decided to end the occupation for now and left the building on the afternoon to join in the demonstration. Both of the occupations (along with the one at the Law School) were kept for 18 days and despite the frequent attacks by the cops, played a very big part on the revolt. The fight is not over thought and both the assemblies called everyone to participate on the demonstration on the 27th called by the assembly of the occupants of GSEE building a few days ago.

In Alimos (Athens), citizens took over the sound system that was set to play christmas songs and for an hour read communiques and their demands regarding the recent events, such as immediate release of the arrestees of the events, disarmament of the police, disbandment of the riot squads and cease to existent of the counter-terrorism law.

In Volos, the municipal radio station was occupied to speak about the events and the demands.
In Lesvos, protesters set up a sound system in the city center and transmitted messages.
In Ptolemaida, a christmas tree like the one in Ioannina was decorated with photos of Alexis and the protests and also the demands.

About the shooting against the police van incident, more news released clearly show that this was an provocateur act. The police after running ballistic tests stated that the shots were fired by two AK-47s not just one! They also say that the attack took place from an old pump room inside the campus which has been squatted by students a few months ago and was used for projects and workshops such as construction of wind generators, reusing old material, use of open source software etc. Due to the events of the previous weeks all the planned events were postponed and the building hasn't been used for weeks. Both of facts make everyone even more suspicious about the motives of the attack.
 
ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE POLYTECHNIC OCCUPATION

Immediately after the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos by the special police guard Ep. Korkoneas and the first clashes in the streets of Exarchia, the Polytechnic university gets occupied and is turned into a focus for the expression of social rage. Being a space historically and symbolically connected in the living memory of the rebels and of a big part of society with the struggle against Authority -from the period of dictatorship until today’s modern totalitarian democracy-, the Polytechnic becomes the place where hundreds of people gather spontaneously: comrades, youth and workers, jobless, pupils, immigrants, students…



The fights with the forces of repression and the flaming barricades in the surrounding streets become the spark of a revolt that spreads with spontaneous demonstrations in the city, the occupation of the Economics University and the Law School, with attacks against state and capitalist targets in the centre and neighborhoods of Athens and in most cities of the country.

The following days, with demonstrations of thousands of people ending up in riots and attacks against banks, ministries and big department stores, with occupations of schools and public buildings, with young children besieging and assaulting police stations, the riot police guarding Koridallos prison and the Parliament, the revolt becomes generalized; this revolt that was triggered by the murder of A. Grigoropoulos and exploded by the immediate reaction of hundreds of comrades to that event of the widespread state violence, inspiring actions of rage and solidarity beyond the borders, all over the world.

This revolt that was simmering in the conditions of a generalized attack by the state and the bosses against society, growing in the reality of the everyday death of freedom and dignity that is reserved for the oppressed people by the increasing exclusion, poverty, exploitation, repression and control. This revolt that was persistently being “prepared”, even in the darkest times of state and fascist terrorism, through every small or big gesture of resistance against submission and surrender, keeping open the way for many more people to meet in the streets of revolt, just like it happened these days.


In this explosive social reality, the occupied Polytechnic became a point of reference for a direct confrontation with the state, in all forms and with all possible means, through consecutive insurrectionary events that burned down the order and security of the bosses, smashing the fake image of social consent to their murderous intentions. It became a place where rebellious social and political subjects met and influenced each other, through the general assemblies and the daily presence in the occupation. It functioned as a base for counter-information, through communiqués and posters, its blog and radio station, and with the PA system sending the messages and the news of the ongoing revolt. And it also gave life to political initiatives of resistance, like the call made by the Polytechnic occupation assembly for a global day of action in the 20th of December –which resulted in coordinated mobilizations in more than 50 cities in different countries, and in which the Polytechnic occupiers participated by calling for a gathering in the place where A. Grigoropoulos was murdered-, like the concert held in the 22nd of December for solidarity and financial support to the hostages of the revolt, and the call for participation in the prisoner solidarity demonstration that was organized by comrades who took part in the open assembly of the occupied GSEE (General Workers’ Confederation).



As a stable, for 18 days, point of the revolt that expanded, the occupied Polytechnic was a continuous call of insubordination to the people resisting all over the world, and a permanent sign of solidarity to the hostages taken by the state from within this struggle.

It became the territory we used in order to diffuse the message of solidarity between the oppressed, of self-organisation and of a social and class counter-attack against the world of Authority, its mechanisms and its symbols. These elements and values of the struggle created the ground for the oppressed to meet in rebellion, armed our consciences and, for the first time maybe, became so widely impropriated by so many people of different age and different nationalities; people with whom anarchists and anti-authoritarians shared the same slogans against the police, the same words, the same practices of struggle, the same rage against those who are looting our lives, and, many times, the same vision for a world of freedom, equality and solidarity.



For this reason, repression was not only expressed in the form of police brutality, arrests and imprisonment of demonstrators, but also with an intense ideological attack launched by all sides of the political system which saw its foundations trembling when repression, in which it is based, not only was unable to restrain the waves of revolt, but, contrary, it was the one that caused them in the first place.

This ideological attack selectively targeted anarchists, as a political and not mediated part of the revolted, exactly because of the impact their words and actions had, and because of the danger that is presented for the state when they communicate and coordinate with the thousands of the oppressed.

In this context, there was an hysterical effort to divide the revolted in “good pupils” on one hand, “evil hooded anarchists – ‘koukouloforoi’” or “immigrant-looters” on the other, as well as the good old myth about provocateurs, in order to manipulate the anger for the assassination, to exhaust the social explosion, to criminalize, isolate and crush the steady points of reference of this revolt.

[This is, by the way, the same rhetoric of repression that led to the murder of A. Grigoropoulos, as it is responsible for recognizing specific political-social milieus, spaces and people as the “internal enemy” on which state violence should be “legitimately” enforced.]

In this effort made by the state, the continuous targeting of the Polytechnic was included on a daily basis, with statements made by politicians and a slandering campaign by the mass media. After the hours of clashes in Exarchia and around the Polytechnic during the night of December 20, the state, in the face of the public prosecutor, threatened to proceed to a police raid, after suspending the academic asylum in the campus, despite the disagreement of the university authorities, in order to suppress the revolt by attacking one of the first places where it had started.

Their intentions were defeated because of the refusal of the occupiers to obey to any ultimatum, their decisiveness to defend this political and social territory as a part of the revolt, their open call to people to come and support the occupation with their presence and by proceeding to the planned prisoner solidarity gig in the 22th of December which gathered hundreds of people in the Polytechnic.

The threats for an immediate eviction returned stronger the following day, December 23, when, while the assembly was discussing the end of the occupation, we were informed by political and academic figures that the ministry of Interior and the police are demanding our immediate exit from the campus otherwise the cops would invade. The reply of the occupiers was that the Polytechnic does not belong either to the ministry either to police for us to surrender to them; it belongs to the people of the struggle who decide on what to do based exclusively on criteria of the movement and do not accept blackmails and ultimatums by the assassins. This way the Polytechnic occupation was prolonged for one more day, and called to the demo which was realized in the center of Athens for solidarity with the arrested.


No repressive project and no ideological attack managed or will manage to blackmail the return to normality and to impose social and class pacification. Nothing is the same any more! The surpassing of fear, of isolation and of the dominant social divisions, led thousands of young people, together with women and men of every age, refugees and migrants, workers and jobless to stand together in the streets and behind barricades fighting the tyrants of our life, our dignity and freedom. And this is a reality lighting with its flames the future of revolt, both its intensification and deepening, until the absolute subversion of the world of the bosses.

Because we shouted in all ways that those days belong to Alexis, to Michalis Kaltezas, to Carlo Giuliani, to Christoforos Marinos, to Michalis Prekas, to Maria Koulouri and to all comrades murdered by the uniformed assassins of the state; they aren’t though days that belong to death, but to LIFE! To life that blossoms in the struggles, in the barricades, in the revolt that continues.



Ending the Polytechnic occupation after 18 days, we send our warmest solidarity to all people who became part of this revolt in their many ways, not only in Greece but also in numerous countries of Europe, of South and North America, Asia and Australia-N.Zealand. To all those with whom we met and we will stay together, fighting for the liberation of the prisoners of this revolt, but also for its continuing until global social liberation. For a world without masters and slaves, without police and armies, without borders and prisons.



DEATH TO THE STATE – LONG LIVE ANARCHY!



IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF ALL THE ARRESTED IN THE REVOLT!



THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES!



- We call to the open assembly that will take place in the Polytechnic, on Saturday, December 27 at 16.00, concerning the organization of solidarity to the arrested, which was called by comrades in the assembly of the occupied GSEE.

By masters and slaves in the real meaning I agree. The slave trade was clearly wrong and a blot on human history. To try to suggest that capitalism and a wage for a day;s work is the same puts you in the special class of fucking idiots that comares everything to tragic events of the past.

No police eh. What will you do with rapists and thieves?
Sure as fuck you can't put them in prison so I suppose women will just have to put up with rape as a natural consequence of freedom.
No military. fan fucking tastic. What about Adolf Hitler and his like.
Thwere is always one bastard out to get some fucker or will the head cases like Mugabe all settle down in your fairy world?

Pillock.

may I assume that means you are totally unable to answer what you would do with rapists and the like in your nice fluffy world without police or prisons.
I'm still trying to work out what would have happened with hitler if there were no defending armies to oppose him.
Given that he fucked Greece over big style I suppose the lefties would all have been shot by now so you would never had been given the chance to toss petrol bombs in the first place.

In this case the cops are defending the rights of the majority not to be oppressed by a mob of fucking idiots.
I know that as the left didn't win an election to get into power so they can't be expressing the majority view.

How does that square with ideas of democracy?

Dimitri,stay strong,the rest of the decent world are behind you. And have a happy christmas :)

And a merry Christmas to you too.
It's Christmas not just a holiday unless of course you believe religion to be at odds with socialist ideas. In that case you have to scrap the holiday totally so no more happy holidays.

Still I don't expect the left to come out with their true colours on that one with the power of the church in your country.

Your such a fucking retard it pains me. Getting together to exachnge gifts with your friends and family. How very un-socialist, how very religious.

There was always a winter festival, just because its focus later became religious and then more recently became consumerist, it changes nothing. We're social people. That is all.

Off to peel spuds angrily now :D

I don't exchange gifts but I may just buy you a book for christmas. I must try to find you something about the ancient winter festivals and their religious significance.
I'm a social sort of bloke but not a socialist.
By the way try rice instead of spuds. So much less trouble.
 
Still the last few posts from the "occupying forces" are showing us the true nature of the protests.
Now it seems that the death of the flasher was just a good excuse for an attempt by the anarchists to take over the country using violence instead of the ballot box.
They take their minority stupidity and try to impose it on society in general.
That's the true nature of the far left who claim to believe in the people but in fact are really only interested in power for themselves.
 
Come on, please don't let this informative thread be derailed by responding to derf's moronic and disruptive spamming. Just ignore him and he might go away.

You assume, you lie, you make up situations, you libel people, you spout filth.

You assume the cops murdered the flasher with no evidence except for his mates.
They lied as we now have proof it wasn't a direct shot as they claimed.
The situation where the left tell us they have the support of the people is made up.
Libel is what the left have been doing on this thread claiming that all against them are fascists.
I spout filth (Wow - I called a kid with his cock out a flasher), maybe sometimes but it's better than trying to kill people wit petrol bombs.

The fools destroying their own country in an attempt to gain political power by force need to wake up and realise that they are just a minor bunch of political outsiders that one day will be dropped in the dustbin of history with a footnote to mention how much bother they were to the decent people of the world.

So organising commiteeeeeee. (Wheeltappers and shunters style) I call on you now to hand yourselves in to the police and let the normal people get on with their christmas in peace.

Posted on libcom:
Konstantina Kuneva, 44, a worker from Bulgaria and secretary of the Housekeepers and Cleaners' trade union of Athens has been attacked on 23/12.

As she was returning home in midnight, 2 unknown men poured sulfuric acid onto her face and body. She is now in critical condition, could lose her sight or worse.

Kuneva was getting threat-calls on her mobile phone to stop participating in the struggles. Her trade union was one of the most militant ones. The working conditions of the cleaners are almost barbaric.

According to an announcement by a leftist party (www.eek.gr) Kuneva and other comrades from the cleaning ladies' trade union participated in the assemblies held in the occupied GSEE building. that's not important.
the important thing is that Kuneva was fighting for her class for years.

Just a small comment...this once again proves that capital once threatened even on a tiny tiny degree, becomes absolutely ruthless. Once class antagonism breaks out openly --as happened in greece-- it's either us or them. To reconcile, to "stop for the holidays", to lose the momentum is to become victim of this terrorism. difficult times.

Dimitris and Stella, out of curiosity, do you know if any legal defence funds have been set up for those arrested during the riots? Merseyside AF are organising a public meeting/fundraiser next month and we were hoping to use the money raised to help those facing criminal charges.
 
about the fundraising "In Bloom" 's post

This is what I found so far :from this link

The site is in Greek, I'll see if there is anything in english
*This is fundraising for the woman attacked by acid
I'll get you the other info in a bit

For the arrested during the riots
The only post I could find from IndyMedia Athens with every caution that it might not be accurate
216/34903781 στην ΕΘΝΙΚΗ ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ (από σάιτ Αντιεξουσιαστικής Κίνησης)
216/34903781 : account number/ National bank of Greece
and the link i got it from : http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=951889
There is also a 2 day event starting tomorrow at the "Free Galaxy" (a building that has been occupied in Nea Smirni) for solidarity and support to all the arrested during the riots and there is going to be a collection there as well. The link for that (in Greek though) is : http://eleftherosgalaxias.blogspot.com/2008/12/27-2812.html
There are other groups that have been collecting money for the same reason, but nothing "official" that I could find, at least nothing at the IndyMedia's front pages
