Athens: Statement by the Skaramanga squat regarding today’s events – The murderers “mourn” their victims
May 5th, 2010
The statement below was issued a few hours ago by the anarchist squat of Skaramanga and Patision in Athens:
The murderers “mourn” their victims
(Regarding today’s tragic death of 3 people)
The enormous strike demonstration which took place today, 5th of May turned into a social outflow of rage. At least 200,000 people of all ages took to the streets (employees and unemployed, in the public and private sector, locals and migrants) attempting, over many hours and in consecutive waves, to surround and to take over the Parliament. The forces of repression came out in full force, to play their familiar role – that is, of the protection of the political and financial authorities. The clashes were hours long and extensive. The political system and its institutions reached a nadir.
Athens (Greece): Statement by the Skaramanga squat about a recent arrest
“The state knows it, we know it, its time for society to learn it as well”
On Friday, 13th November Antigoni, a 22-year old comrade was arrested only meters away from the Patission and Skaramanga squat in Athens. Accused with participation to the “Conspiracy of Cells of Fire”, she was released on bail only days later – a solid proof of the state’s non-existent evidence against her. The following text on her arrest was published by the Patission and Skaramanga squat’s assembly on 16 November:
The state knows it, we know it, its time for society to learn it as well
