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

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE DEFENSE OF THE SQUATTED COMMUNITY OF PROSFYGIKA ON ALEXANDRAS AVENUE IN ATHENS
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.

Last news from greek territory struggles
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.

Anja Flach informiert im Prosfygika über Frauenrevolution
Das Prosfygika ist eine selbstverwaltete Nachbarschaft im Zentrum der griechischen Hauptstadt Athen. Hier fand am Sonntag, 7/11/21, eine gut besuchte Veranstaltung mit der Hamburger Ethnologin und Autorin Anja Flach zur Frauenrevolution in Rojava statt. Bevor Flach die Gäste vorab zur aktuellen Situation in allen Teilen Kurdistans informierte, stellte sich zunächst die griechische Plattform der Kampagne „RiseUp4Rojava“ vor und machte ihre Arbeiten bekannt. Anschließend startete Flach mit der Präsentation des Kurzfilmes „Azadî çi ye?“ ihren Vortrag. Nach den eindrucksvollen Stimmen der Frauen aus Rojava folgte eine kurze Erläuterung über die momentane politische Lage. Continue reading
Police mobilisation at our neighborhood
Today 11/10/21 an ambulance of the EKAB came to the neighborhood to treat and receive a person with serious health problems. A police car came with them. The cops wanted to break into the building to get the dog that was inside.
We informed them that they could not invade our spaces, that we were taking responsibility for the incident and that we did not need anything. The patrol officer called for backup, falsely reporting that he was in danger from a group of people moving aggressively against them.
In no time a riot squad of MAT and a YMET (blue Riot Police) approached from two sides the people of the neighborhood who had gathered to prevent their invasion of the neighborhood. Very quickly the platoons retreated when the assembled neighbourhood started approaching them shouting and finally they were driven away under the general outcry they received from the neighbourhood balconies and from the patients of St. Sava Hospital. The immediate numerous mobilization of the comrades/compañeros and residents was done in defense of the community and the neighborhood.
The old dog of the house was removed with our help and our sick neighbor was transported without any problem by the ambulance. The cops once again showed up in the neighborhood only to cause trouble, only to show they were in control, which once again failed.

financial support call from germany
article from de.indymedia
poster says:
Prosfygika has been occupied for several decades and has been a place of refuge and self-organization for refugees, migrants and activists since the 1920s. Due to the increasing authoritarian formation and the wave of evictions in Greece, Prosfygika is very threatened. Around 400 people with diverse histories (political communist refugees from Turkey, refugees from Moria, Greek anarchists, Kurdish activists, and many more) live together and organize in various ways: communal bread baking, market sales, a Wom*n’s Cafe, and a collectively run kiosk. Prosfygika stands for a neighborhood that is resistant to fascist and capitalist attacks.
Let’s be together in practical solidarity and collect donations against repression costs.“We are concious of our ability to take our lives into our own hands. We defend the Squatting Movement and Prosfygika (…)
of challenging domination indeed and as a part of social leberation.”– ASSEMBLY OF OCCUPIED PROSFYGIKA 2012 –
