Interview with the eviction threatened project Prosfygika in Athens

The Community of squatted Prosfygika is a squatted neighborhood in Athens. There have been many squats and projects in Europe in the past. However, gradually the majority of these projects were attacked, cleared and razed to the ground by the repressive authorities. The Prosfygika is one of those projects that, to the best of their ability, defend themselves against repression and try to realize an alternative way of life and politics. The Prosfygika is also threatened with eviction and was last attacked by the Greek police on November 22nd. The community of the squatted project sent our news agency the following interview: Continue reading →

CALL FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF A SOLIDARITY DEMONSTRATION WITH PROSFYGIKA, SQUATS, AND SELF-ORGANIZED SPACES // CALL FOR THE FORMATION OF AN OPEN ASSEMBLY IN SOLIDARITY WITH PROSFYGIKA

In the morning of 22/11, repressive forces invaded the 7th block of the of the Squatted Neighbourhood of Prosfygika, arresting the comrade Kostas D. and then, in the afternoon of the same day, in the 6th block, arresting 79 of its defenders. We don’t think that on these topics we need say more, as they are well-known facts known to most people and published (at least not in this text). Continue reading →

Είμαστε ακόμα εδώ… Η Κοινότητα παραμένει δυνατή κι ενωμένη… Τα Προσφυγικά θα νικήσουν!!!

Στις 22/11/2022, στις 5.45π.μ., κάθε είδους αστυνομικές δυνάμεις, ΜΑΤ, κρατική ασφάλεια, Δράση, ΟΠΚΕ και ΕΚΑΜ, εισέβαλαν στην κατειλημμένη γειτονιά των Προσφυγικών Λ. Αλεξάνδρας και πιο συγκεκριμένα στο 7ο μπλοκ, επί της οδού Tριχωνίδος (πίσω από το νοσοκομείο Ελπίς). Διέρηξαν την εξωτερική πόρτα του κτιρίου, σπάζοντάς την. Στην συνέχεια, ανέβηκαν στον δεύτερο όροφο όπου κατοικούν δύο σύντροφοι της κοινότητας, ο σύντροφος που συνελήφθει κι ένας ακόμη πρόσφυγας από το Ιράν. Απήγαγαν και τους δύο και προχώρησαν σε επισταμένη έρευνα του κτιρίου. Την ίδια στιγμή, ολόκληρη η γειτονιά περικυκλώθηκε από την καταστολή, όχι μόνο στο σημείο της έρευνας αλλά συνολικά, επιχειρώντας την κατοχή της.

Την επιχείρηση εντόπισε η καθημερινή πρωινή περιφρούρηση της κοινότητας που ξεκίνησε να ενημερώνει την γειτονιά. Σύντροφοι και συντρόφισσες/ια ανεβήκαμε στις ταράτσες για να ξυπνήσουμε και τους υπόλοιπους. Μη γνωρίζοντας τι ακριβώς συμβαίνει, αναγνωρίσαμε ότι η επιχείρηση περιορίζεται σ’ ένα συγκεκριμένο κτίριο, αλλά αντιληφθήκαμε επίσης το σοβαρό ενδεχόμενο γενικότερης επίθεσης. Απολογιστικά κρίνουμε ότι η εισβολή που πραγματοποιήθηκε ήταν προαποφασισμένη από το πρωί. Όλος ο χρόνος που πέρασε μέχρι την στιγμή της εισβολής ήταν αποτέλεσμα προετοιμασίας, κρίσης πάνω στα κόστη και στα κέρδη καθώς και μετρήματος της αποφασιστικότητάς μας, από τα στελέχη της ΓΑΔΑ και του υπουργείου.

Update on the riot police attack on the gathering at the GADA

Posted on by

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!

Small-kidnaps from the cops in Prosfygika on 23/2

Small-kidnaps from the cops in Prosfygika on 23/2
In the morning of Wednesday 23/2 two comrades of the community were doing their daily patrol of Prosfygika’s neighborhood, around 5:45 a civil jeep cop car raided the neighborhood and directed towards the two comrades. From the inside of the jeep-car 4 uniformed of OPKE (Crime Prevention and Repression Teams-ΟΠΚΕ) and without a warning they pushed the comrades against the wall and started body searches and of course they did not find anything on them- something that the cops would really like to happen. Then the OPKE left. The comrades continued their patrol and after 15 minutes passed from the body search, two more cars raided and immediately 6 cowboys run onto the comrades and tied them with handcuffs. Afterwards they transported them to the Exarchia’s cop station. They put them in separated cells, controlled them again and questioned them about a stolen vehicle, they understood their stupid mistake and gave up. 
So after an hour in the cells of the cop station, they led free.
Obviously they think that with these unrelated small-kidnaps they will terrorise us, with territory power games. Cops you are fooled if you believe that with those operations a liberated ground will surrender, a ground which is founded by the sharp people of the occupied refugee community.
