The latest state in (the restaurant) Banquet salonika..



Translated by: Subalterne beim Subbotnik
During the whole summer period, the workers from

the restaurant Banquet and their solidarity committee continued their mobilization with pickets, demonstrations,

a live concert and public kitchen outside of the business.
The employer not only remained firm at his position,

keeping the business suspended, continuing his efforts
to eliminate his employees financially. But in beginning 
of August he announced that he makes new dismissals,
with the excuse of the fact that he doesn't want specific 
employees to go back to work.


The attempt to ruin the workers economically failed,
thanks to the practical solidarity from workers, youngsters,
unions and the food supply workers and after the 
employees were supported financially by the solidarity 
committee's campaign.


From Monday 8/16th and on the employer aims to open
the restaurant and to put the tables and chairs outside, 
since it is the period before ΔΕΘ 
(International Fair of Thessaloniki) starts, a period
which is traditionally profitable for the 
specific company and the city. Until now no one
from the 8 workers, who were fired and participated in 
the struggle, has been informed, unlike the other 
workers, who have helped to prepare the reopening 
of the business.


We are calling for a new solidarity committee in 
order to prepare new protests for Friday 8/20th at 7 pm
at the Labor Center of Thessaloniki.

conflict

Anarchists solidarity protest outside Korydallos prison, the main prison in Athens, at the time of the change of the year. This protest happens every New Year's Eve for the past six years. This year more than 400 people took part in the protest that interacted with the prisoners inside through shouting mutual slogans and fireworks. The main slogan was "The passion for freedom is stronger that your prisons".

FIRE TO ALL PRISONS

A society that punishes/the condition of incarceration/the prison of the mind/the prison as punishment/the rage of the damned will sound on the ruins of prisons/those denying obedience and misery of our era even within its hellholes/will dance together on the ruins of every last prison/with the flame of rebellion avenging whatever creates prisons.

To the prisoners struggle already counting one dead and thousands in hunger strike across greece, we stand in solidarity and anger until the destruction of every last prison.


ARSON AND WILDFIRE FOR EVERY PRISON
