DELTA SQUAT WILL REMAIN
IT’S NOT FOR RENT

In late July the Alexandrio Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki publicly announced its intention to offer the building in 13, Egnatia Street for hire, a building which has been occupied for four years.

After years of neglect, this space became through collective processes, from derelict and inaccessible building, a free and social project open to all. Its operation is based on equality and solidarity, against and away from every form of State or private management. Decisions are taken collectively and horizontally, based on our needs, wishes and possibilities. [Read More]

Thessaloniki: Arson attempt against Fabricka Yfanet squat

By: liberation - July 25th, 2009  Filed under: News

Fabricka Yfanet is a former 19,500 m² factory in Thessaloniki (Greece) that has been occupied by people demanding their freedom from political and economic oppression since 20 March 2004.

On Saturday morning, 25 July 2009 at 5.05, arsonists attempted to put our squat on fire by lighting barbecue tanks at the main iron gate. They left a bag containing six gas cans, one 4-litre petrol canister, and a box of fire-starters.

The explosion could not escape the attention of squatters on standby inside the occupation for its protection (such measures were taken after the government threats against free spaces). With the help of neighbours we put down the fire, and fortunately absolutely no damage was done at all.

Some informations from Greece

By: xxx - February 28th, 2000  Filed under: News

Villa Varvara was closed some time ago. But there are now two squats in Athens

  • Villa Amalia is squatted since 1993
  • Lelas-Karagianni since 1988.

The squats have a different character – the first is a punk squat (with main focus on organizing partys and concerts – non commercial always) – the second is a squat from anarchists and has a more political character, what means that they are active – on demonstrations – posters (political) – and on other things.

In Thessaloniki there are two new squats

  • Black cat and
  • Punks attack.

They exist since 1999. At time there are no “BIG” problems in the present with the police but this can change every day.
