Berlin. On 24th of April 2022 we will show a film about Prosfygika Squat, a discussion with guests from the project and delicious food for soli-donation from 1pm-5pm in the infoshop of Schererstraße 8 (13347 Berlin- Wedding). Of course there is great infomaterial and material for mobilization for Prosfygika, as well as our great zines.
On 16/03, we gathered outside GADA, after the arrest of our comrades in Victoria Square where the cops in an organized operation against refugees and migrants bullied and arrested those who tried to stop them. Among the 14 arrested is a comrade active in the Community of Squatted Prosfigika. The gathering of about fifty people was attacked by the cops with aggressive characteristics after our comrades refused to leave their position. They hit comrades with shields and globes, threw people down and kicked them.
As we were returning to our neighborhood after the gathering, cops blocked our way, forcing us to go elsewhere deliberately, knowing that we were from Prosfigika. Then they chased us to Trichonidos and entered our neighborhood. Our comrades defended our community by making it clear to the cops that the Prosfigika neighborhood will never be a breeding ground for bullying and threats. People who were already in the neighborhood opened the doors for the comrades, the corresponding positions were taken, while at the same time they were heard by their radios to retreat.
If we do not resist in all neighborhoods, our cities will become modern prisons!
We stand with migrants, deportation to cops and Nazis!

Hello comrades,
We address this call to collectives and individuals from all around the world to join the combative defense of PROSFYGIKA against the imminent repression. The attempted evacuation of our neighborhood must be turned into a central event of resistance and a victory against political power and the gentrification of our neighborhoods in the metropolis.

WHAT WE INVITE YOU TO DEFEND:
The building complex of Prosfygika was built in 1933 for the refugees coming from Asia minor. Continue reading
In the conditions of the social struggles that took place during the period 2008-2010, some of the
squatters that we lived in the neighborhood of “Prosfigika” realized that the collectivization was the
only solution for us. Firstly because of the architectural structure of the area which is designed for
community life and secondly because we were suffering from micro-mafias that were looting the
spaces. Since then, several solutions have been provided based on self-organization and also on
problems that had to do sometimes with subletting, sometimes with drug trafficking and child sex
trafficking. As an assembly that was oriented towards the ideals of communal ownership and
perceived the value of use as the only value, we created “community of squatted prosfigika”
(SY.KA.PRO) in 2012. Continue reading
Informations from the perspective of Sy.Ka.Pro
The new season started in low-tension conflictuality with the government despite the fact that during summer huge fires burned one-third of Greek forests. And this destruction clearly occured with the responsibility of the government.
In our squatted community of Prosfygika, on Alexandras Avenue, we run an intense campaign against the repression and gentrification of our neighborhood. We organized several info-events in squares for people to know that the state and the companies want to kick out hundreds of people from the communities houses.
On 5th October, we intervened to the leftist former-government radio station Kokkino and newspaper Avgi with the target to make them publish our statement. We specifically target this party because it is one of the main actor of the gentrification process, pushing the state mechanism to forward its plans.
