Nikos Maziotis statement to the court (1999)

2009 Αυγούστου 23


Dear comrades,

The following text is the translation of what Nikos Maziotis said to the court during his trial which took place on the 5th to 7th of July 1999 in Athens, Greece. He was convicted and given a 15-year prison sentence for �attempted explosion with danger for human lives� and �possession of guns and explosives� for his action of placing a bomb in the Ministry of Industry and Development on December 12, 97, in solidarity with the revolt of the villages in Strymonikos against the installation of a gold metallurgy by multinational company TVX GOLD. During the trial he again supported his choices politically, as he did from the beginning when he had sent a letter from prison with which he took responsibility of the action against the Ministry. Though he never accepted the charges the state was accusing him of, as revolutionary acts cannot be described in terms of the penal code. In that sense, this trial was not a typical procedure of convicting someone who pleads �guilty� but it turned into a political confrontation as much between Nikos and his prosecutors, as between his comrades, anarchists and revolutionaries and the state and its mechanisms. This confrontation was strongly supported by the presence of comrades from Sardinia (Costantino Cavalleri), Italy (Alfredo Bonanno) and France (Hellyette Bess) who testified in the court in solidarity with Nikos and by the letters sent in support by the imprisoned militants of Action Directe, France, by the ABC of Barcelona and by other anarchist groups from Spain. All these together, along with the presence inside and outside the court of anarchist comrades and of course the speech of Nikos Maziotis against his prosecutors, gave a sense of the international struggle for freedom and of solidarity with all the people in revolt, with all political prisoners captured in moments of the social and class war against the state and the capital.

Solidarity,

Comrades from the Anarchist Circle and the collective Anarchists in Solidarity�

Excerpts from Nikos Mazotis� Statement to the Athens Criminal Court

First, I do not intend to pretend to be the �good guy� here when I was forced to come. I will not apologize for anything, because I do not consider myself a criminal. I am a revolutionary. I have nothing to repent. I am proud of what I have done. The only thing I regret is the technical error that was made so the bomb didn’t explode, so that my fingerprint was found on it later and I ended up here. This is the only thing I repent.

You must keep in mind that although you are judges and sitting higher than me, many times the revolutionaries, and myself specifically, have judged you long before you judge me. We are in opposite camps, hostile camps.

The revolutionaries and revolutionary justice -because I don’t believe that this court is justice, it’s the word justice in quotation marks- many times judge their enemies more mercilessly, when they get the chance to impose justice. I will begin from many years ago. We don’t have any crime of mine to judge here. On the contrary, we will talk about crimes, but not mine. We will talk about the crimes of the State, of its mechanisms, of justice and police crimes…

The biggest lie of all time is that the State is society. I think Nietzsche has also said that the State lies. We are opposed to the division of society into classes, we are against a separation between those who give orders and others who obey orders. This authoritarian structure penetrates the whole of society and it is this structure that we want to destroy. Either with peaceful or with violent means, even with guns. I have no problem with that.

I will contradict my brother who said before, that he didn’t want the guns in order to make war. They were for war. Maybe they were just kept there. But guns are for war, you don’t just have them to keep them at home. I might have kept them as they were, but they are to make war and I make war… The bomb in the ministry was an act of war.

Our purpose, within the anti-State and anti-capitalist struggle, is to connect ourselves with different social struggles. Our purpose when interfering in these struggles is also to attempt to make things reach the edge, which means to culminate with the conflict of these social parts with the State and the police. To urge the people fighting to surpass the institutional frames, the trade-unions, the local administrations and all these manipulators who are enemies of human freedom. Many comrades of mine, with their small forces, were engaged in such struggles. I will tell you about them more specifically. In 1989, in a struggle of environmental interest in the village of Aravissos, the residents of the area didn’t want their water sources to be exploited by the Water Company of Thessaloniki. They clashed with the police and the riot police, they burnt water pumps, they set fires and put up barricades. And some of our comrades from Thessaloniki took part in this struggle and they were even arrested�.

Generally, wherever there are disturbances, there are conflicts we want to be in. To subvert things. For us, this is not a crime. In a real sense, these disturbances are the �popular sovereignty� that professional politicians keep talking about. That’s where freedom is expressed…

Now let’s talk about the struggle of the people in Strymonikos. Long before I placed the bomb, other comrades had been to the villages, they had been talking with the people there, they had published a brochure about this revolt, about the clashes in October of 1996. But I will talk more specifically about the struggle in Strymonikos in a little while. First, I want to talk exclusively about the action.

To tell the truth, I was inspired to place this bomb for a specific reason: The people of the villages had surpassed the limits, by themselves. If it was a struggle inside institutional frames, in the way that trade unions and local administrations try to keep these struggles restricted, if it was confined in a mild, harmless and not dangerous protest, maybe I wouldn’t have done anything.

But the comrades up there in the villages -who are not anarchists of course, but I don’t care about that, they are citizens who also want their freedom- had surpassed every limit. They had conflicts with the police three times -in the 17th of October 1996, in the 25th of July ‘97 and in November 9 ‘98-, they had set fire to police cars and riot police vans, they had burnt machinery belonging to TVX, they had invaded in the mines of Olympiada and destroyed part of the installations. Some of them also became a sort of guerrilla. In the nights, they were going out with guns, shooting in the air to frighten the policemen. And I thought, these people are cool, they�ve gone even further than us. And then repression followed, especially in ‘97 when marshal law was imposed in the area.

The Chief of Police in Halkidiki gave an order according to which all gatherings and demonstrations were forbidden. They also sent special police units and police tanks, which came in the streets for the first time since 1980. And now they were sending them out again there, in the villages of Halkidiki. So, I thought, we must do something here, in Athens. It is not possible that the others are under repression and we here staying passive. The ministry of Industry and Development, in Papadiamadopoulou and Michalakopoulou streets, was one of the centers of this case. The struggle in Strymonikos was a struggle against �development�, against �modernization� and all this crap they keep saying. What is hidden behind all these expressions is the profits of multinationals, the profits of �our own� capitalists, Greek capitalists, the profits of states’ officials, of the Greek state, of the bureaucrats, of all those who take the money, of technical companies… There is no relation between this �development� and �modernization� they are talking about and the covering of popular needs. No relation at all. So, I placed a bomb.

The purpose was the one I said in the letter with which I took responsibility for the action. In the passage of February ‘98 I say: in placing the explosive device my purpose was to send a double political message. Everything is political. Even if you use such means, the messages are political. War itself is a means of political pressure. In this case, this was also a political means, a political practice. First of all, it was a message to the people of Strymonikos that �you are not alone, there are also others who may live 600 km away from you but they care�. Not for personal reasons… I don’t know anyone from there personally. Other comrades know people from there. I haven’t even been there. It was not my house that was threatened, but this is not the point.

Simply, my principle, and generally the principle of the anarchists and of other non-anarchist revolutionaries is that social freedom is one and inseparable. So, if freedom is partially offended, in essence it is offended as a whole. If their freedom is offended, mine is offended too. Their war will be my war, especially in an area where the �sovereign people� -again an expression used by professional politicians- does not want what the state and the capital want: the gold metallurgy of TVX. On the other hand, I have said that, OK, there would be some damage – I knew that. Yes, I had the intention to cause material damage. So, what damage would that be? On the windows, in that specific place, what kind of damage? Or outside the storehouse where I placed the bomb? According to me, the damages would be minimal. But even if they were more than minimal, for me it is not important at all. Because freedom can’t be compared with the material damages of some windows, of a state car or state-property. For me, the ministry is not an institution of common benefit as the charges say. Of state benefit yes, but not of any social benefit. However, even if the device did not explode, I sent my message�

I will refer a little to the technical aspects. Exactly because I am a social revolutionary, and when you say that it is like talking for the benefit of society. Not like. It is for the social benefit. As I have this principle I couldn’t harm any citizen. I could harm a policeman. I consider them my enemies. And you are my enemies too. I separate you. I make a clear class separation. On one hand we have those, on the other hand, we have the others. In this occasion though I didn’t intend to harm either the policeman who guarded the ministry or anybody else; and of course not a citizen.

The procedure that is used by groups or individuals, in general, is exactly this: you first place the bomb in your target and then you call to a newspaper. In that case, I called to ‘Eleftherotypia’ and said: In half an hour a bomb will explode there. Exactly what is written in the evidence: In 30 minutes there will be an explosion in the Ministry of Industry and Development, for the case of TVX in Strymonikos. Whether the bomb exploded or not there was absolutely no danger for human lives. In case that it exploded, there would be only material damages. So, it would happen exactly as I intended. Objectively, if the device had exploded there was no chance of an accident, like exploding before or after the time given�

I want to refer more to what I call solidarity, to the motives that I had. What is this solidarity. I believe �that human society was created, based on three components: solidarity, mutuality and helping each other. So, that’s what human freedom is based on. Any social group in struggle, in a different place and time, whether they are pupils or farmers or citizens of local societies, for me and for the anarchists these struggles are very important. It doesn’t have to do with whether I am a worker and identifying my interests with the interests of that class. If someone asks for a higher salary or has a trade-unionist demand for me it is not important. For me, solidarity means the unreserved acceptance and support with every means of the right that the people must have to determine their lives as they wish, not letting others decide in their place, like the State and the Capital do.

That means that in this specific case, of the struggle of Strymonikos but also in every social struggle, for me what counts mostly is that they are struggles through which the people want to determine their fate alone. And not having any police chief or state official or capitalist deciding what they should do. It is of secondary importance if they want or don’t want the factory, if the focal point of the struggle is environmental. The important thing is that they don’t want the factory because they don’t like something imposed to them with violence.

Concerning the matter of political violence now… From the very beginning they tried to present a case of �repulsive criminals� and �terrorists� who �placed ‘blind’ bombs�.: something that doesn’t exist. If theoretically terrorism is exercising violence against citizens and an unarmed population, that definition applies exclusively for the State. Only the State attacks civilians, that’s what the repression mechanisms are for: the riot police, special repression police units, the army, special forces… Mechanisms that also rob the people. They finance armed professionals, policemen. Aren’t they trained to shoot real targets? Aren�t the riot police armed with chemical gas? To use them where? On citizens, in the demonstrations. So, only the State exercises violence against the citizens. I didn’t use any violence against any citizen. I will say exactly what terrorism is.

Terrorism is when occupations, demonstrations and strikes are being attacked. When the riot police attacked the pensioners who demonstrated outside Maximou four years ago�

Terrorism is when special police forces invade the Chemistry School and beat up anarchists and youth�

Terrorism is when citizens are murdered by the police in simple ‘identification controls’�

Terrorism is when Ali Yumfraz, a Pomak from Vrilisia suburb of Athens, was arrested for being drunk and later was found dead in his cell in the police station�

Terrorism is this court, here. Every trial of a militant, every trial of a revolutionary is terrorism, a message of intimidation for society. I said it again in my statements yesterday, when you called me to say if I accept the charges, and I will repeat it. Because of my persecution being political, the message is clear: whoever fights against the State and the Capital will be penalized, criminalized and given the characterization of terrorist. The same for any solidarity to any social struggle: it will be penalized and crushed down. This is the message of this trial and by this sense it is terrorism. Terrorism against me, terrorism against the anarchists, terrorism against the people of Strymonikos, who are also receiving similar messages this period, as they have similar trials for their mobilizations. This is terrorism. The fact that I put a bomb as an action of solidarity is not terrorism. Because no citizen was harmed by this action.

What the state wants is to deal with everyone alone. You must have heard an expression that the prime minister Simitis is using a lot, talking about �social automatism� whenever social reactions burst out.. He uses this expression in order to present these social reactions -the blockades in the streets, the squatting of public buildings and all the actions of this kind- as being in contrast with the interests of the rest of society. Something that is a total lie. It is just the tactics of �divide and rule�, which means �spread the discord to break solidarity�. Because solidarity is very important as anyone who is alone becomes an easy target. When a workers’ strike takes place and there is no solidarity it is easier for it to be attacked. They talk about a �minority�. This is the argument of the state, that it is ´a trade-unionist minority having retrogressive interests which turn against modernization, against development, against all the reforms� and all that nonsense. Well, there hasn’t been one social part or social group that didn’t come up in conflict with the state, especially during the 90’s, and that hasn’t been faced with the argument that �you are just a minority�, that �your struggle is in contrast with the rest of society’s interests�. That is exactly what happened in all cases�. The same thing happened of course with the people of Strymonikos.

What is really being attacked is solidarity. And that’s what is also attacked, without any disguise, through my trial. The state wants to attack everyone alone. Because when it finds them together things are much more difficult.

Finally, I am not on trial because I placed a bomb, nor because I possessed three guns and ten kilograms of dynamite. After all, the army and the police have a lot more guns than me and they use them. The one can’t be compared with the other.

I have nothing else to say. The only thing I’ll say more is that no matter what sentence I am convicted with, because it is certain that I will be convicted, I am not going to repent for anything. I will remain who I am. I can also say that prison is always a school for a revolutionary. His ideas and the endurance of his soul are experienced. And if he surpasses this test he becomes stronger and believes more in those things for which he was brought to prison. I have nothing more to say.

I want to complete what I was telling the public prosecutor before, about terrorism on an international level. In reality, at this moment, the US is the global gendarme and terrorist, as the only great world power left. Which means it is the worst thing on earth. And according to our perception -as anarchists- the State, all the states and all the governments are antisocial, terrorist mechanisms, since they have organized armies, police, hired torturers. I also want to complete what I was saying about having two weights and two measures. For example, the US provides with weapons, finances and instigates every dictatorial regime all over the world. And in Greece as well. In Latin America, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru…. This is Terrorism. Terrorism is to arm dictators, to arm death squads in Argentina or in Bolivia in order to kill people of the Left, citizens, revolutionaries. Those who equip the death squads to torture, those are the terrorists. Terrorism is when they bombard Yugoslavia for ten days, killing civilians.

Excuse me, Mr. prosecutor, but the US are the ones who say who is a terrorist and who isn’t. Their State Department issues official directions, advising Greece about who is a terrorist. At this time, they place pressure on the Greek state to make an anti-terrorist law, a model of law which will criminalize those who fight, to make laws which are more draconian than those already existing�.These are Terrorism.

The revolutionaries and the militants are not terrorists. Terrorists are the states themselves. And with this accusation, with this stigmatizing (of terrorism) all the states and governments try to criminalize the social revolutionaries and the militants inside their countries. The internal social enemy… In fact, the State, justice and the police face me also as this kind of enemy. As an internal social enemy. On the basis of the division I described before. That’s the way the state sees it. This is what is ventured in this trial. Public prosecutor: What do you have to oppose to the existent?

Social revolution. By any means necessary. It is generally proven, because I am well versed in Greek as well as in international social and political history, that no changes have ever come about, never did humanity achieve any progress -progress as I conceive it- through begging, praying or with words alone.

In the text I sent to claim the action, when I said that I placed the bomb, which was published in �Eleftherotypia� newspaper, I said that the social elite, the mandarins of the capital, the bureaucrats, all these useless and parasitic people -that should disappear from the proscenium of history- they will never give up their privileges through a civilized discussion, through persuasion. I don’t want to have a discussion because you can’t have a discussion with that kind of people…

I would like to add something. Exactly because I have studied a lot, (I know that) during the events of July of ‘65, a conservative congressman of the National Radical Union came out and said about those who went down to the streets and caused disturbances, when Petroulas was killed, that �democracy is not the red tramps but we, the participants in the parliament�, which means the congressmen who are well paid.

I will reverse that. Popular sovereignty, sir judges, is when molotov cocktails and stones are thrown at the police, when state cars, banks, shopping centers and luxury stores are burnt down…. This is how the people react. History itself has proven that this is the way people react. This is popular sovereignty. When Maziotis goes and places a bomb in the ministry of Industry and Development, in solidarity with the struggle of the people in Strymonikos. This is the real popular sovereignty and not what the Constitution says…

Brighton, UK: Probation office and RBS HQ attacked by anarchists

Last night we smashed the windows of the probation office on dyke road in brighton. This out of solidarity with prisoners everywhere, in every single prison, whether this means being locked up behind bars or being a prisoner in this society of coercion and control which tries to force us into being nothing but slaves to the capitalist system. We are fucking disgusted by this society and its delegates such as the pigs, the screws, the bosses etc. We have smashed these windows and we will do it again

we will not be satisfied until there is nothing left of this prisonworld but its ashes, until every prisoner of this society is free.

DESTROY ALL PRISONS.
VIVA L' ANARCHIA.





"We take responsibility for attacking the Brighton HQ of the Royal Bank of Scotland in the evening of 2nd November 2009.

All banks are part of the same system which is destroying everything and has to go. Banks are the most visible manifestation of the exploitation and annihilation of our lives, carried out by state and capital.

We haven't forgotten the role of RBS in the financial crisis and the April G20 where Ian Tomlinson was killed by police, nor do we forgive.

We dedicate this action to Yiannis Dimitrakis, Amadeu Casellas, Thomas Meyer-Falk, Alfredo M. Bonanno and Christos Stratigopulos, anarchist comrades in prison for expropriations who chose to directly attack this system, as well as all other rebels who are in struggle inside and outside the prison walls.

We will not stop.

Excerpts from the most recent “Conspiracy of Cells of Fire” communiqué

Two brief excerpts from the most recent Conspiracy of Cells of Fire communiqué, published after a bomb was set off outside the house of Mimis Androulakis, a turncoat communist – current government MP. The first excerpt explains why Androulakis was targeted, whilst the second one refers to their relationship with (and contains their critique of) the anarchist-antiauthoritarian scene. It is true that after sneering at the potential solidarity movements in their previous communiqués, there is an awkward silence, while at the same time the number of warrants and arrests concerning this case regularly grows.

According to Mimis Androulaki’s bio: …he took part in the antidictatorial struggle and was prosecuted by the junta. He was a member of the Coordination Committee during the November 1973 student uprising in the Polytechnic School. Leading figure of the Left for over 20 years. In 1993 he left the political scene after publishing a book with propositions on how to restructure the center-left political forces. He was elected MP of the PASOK socialist party (currently in power) in 2004 and has written many books…

“Now let’s go back to our main topic; the “sensitive intellectual people” should stop pretending they are surprised and cease uttering humanitarian excerpts from prayer books on the non-use of violence. [The history] of revolution was written and shall be rewritten with conscience and blood, texts and bullets, bombs and imprisonments, struggles and disappointments, noble thoughts and rude actions. Those who speak of unjustifiable revolutionary violence are those who justify the violence in detention centers, prisons, jobs, schools and the army. They are those who explicitly declare every time that “things used to be different in the past”… The ease that left-wing intellectuals talk about the old “fair” violence during the period of Resistance [WW II] and the antidictatorial struggle is due to the fact that only they have the privilege of democracy to have their voices heard. The reason is simple. They are the same people that renounce all kinds of revolutionary violence today, while they have the profile of a fake “militant” past.”

[...]

“Lastly we want to clarify something and emphasize something else. Often, in fact in almost all our communiqués, not only do we criticize strongly the institutional and social police, but also the anarchist-antiauthoritarian scene. We have our origins from and (most of us) were active in it; we met friends and enemies there, we organized ourselves and discovered the lack of organization, we laughed and were let down, a scene we never betrayed, although many a time some from its clergy and their supporters “betrayed” us; it is a scene that gave birth to the new urban guerrilla. This is not a hostile statement against anarchy as a whole; in contrary it is a critique of the anarchist ideology, a breach with the slowdown of the alternative-anarchist lifestyle; in a few words: a revolution within the revolution… this is our contribution to the formation of new perspectives and practices, which aims at “hosting” all the comrades that do not fit in the official anarchist ideologies; all those deniers that cannot find their place in the orthodox social behavior, the traditions and the cliques of the anarchist-antiauthoritarian scene. Finally, we want to point out that from now on we will engage intensively in expanding the urban guerrilla tendency. Within this framework we inaugurate the collaboration of our teams: From now on the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire and the Guerrilla Group of Terrorists will form an alliance in order to promote social challenge. Some Cells will continue collaborating with the Nihilist Faction. We both know that our appeal is addressed to the minority, but it is very substantial. Our priority is to widen our tendency within the radical part of the antiauthoritarian sphere and the “healthy” cycles of law-breakers. The attacks and the fire signals coming from Crete to Thessaloniki, fill us with strength and confirm our conviction that “If not now, then when? If not us, then who?”

Today, on the 19th of November, the trial also honor the memory of Ivan "Bonebreaker"

In silence, holding the banner ( "Vanya's portrait * * 16th of November has been killed by Nazis, "" We will not forget, we will not forgive 16/11/2009), antifascists has walked down the central city's streets, giving a leaflets, explaining the situation to passers-by (who could not understand what was going on).

A 1 hour and 16 minutes documentary about the intense year of fight after the murder of the antfascist comrade Carlos Palomino in Madrid. 11/11/2007

There are wounds that even time can’t close, as the one opened in our hearts when our brother, friend and comrade Carlos, when going to fight against racism, was killed by a neo-Nazi military.

Something inside us died that day. But also a strong feeling of endless reassurance to fight against fascism and injustice was born. Antifascism in Madrid is since then more united and organized than ever. Antifascist groups have honored every day 11 by attacking the sites, the symbols and the accomplices whos hands were stained with the brave blood of Carlos.

Carlos, we promise you we wont stop fighting until the last breath, and your smiling face will contemplate how Madrid is and will be the tomb of fascism.

THE BEST HOMAGE IS TO CONTINUE FIGHTING

10.11.2009 BofA windows smashed Broken Windows

This week, three large windows were smashed on a Bank of America branch in Chicago. You can probably guess why. Spooky shit like this has been happening more and more often. If you're not creeped out yet, just you wait. See you soon!

In solidarity with whoever wants it,

The Monster Squad, Cell of Shattered Glass

cher publique français, servez-vous

Pour la Police, il est membre de la bande des ''braqueurs en noir''. Giannis Dimitrakis s'est fait arrêter lors d'un braquage le 16 janvier 2006 et il a été condamné à une peine d'emprisonnement de 25 ans. Il y a quelques jours, le (récemment baptisé) ministère de Protection du citoyen (ex-ministère de l'Ordre Public) a mis à prix les autres membres du groupe à 600 000 euros, en diffusant parallèlement qu'ils ne sont pas seulement des braqueurs mais aussi membres d'organisations terroristes.

L'anarchiste, Giannis Dimitrakis, 30 ans aujourd'hui, parle pour la première fois, des prisons de Domokos, où il est détenu, de ses camarades mis à prix, de la récente attaque du Commissariat de Agia Paraskevi ¹, de l'organisation ''Conspiration Cellules du feu''², tout en répondant au ministre de Protection du citoyen, M. Michalis Chrisochoïdes, qui a déclaré : '' C'est la guerre''.

Au braquage du 17e janvier, où tu t'es fait arrêter, se sont enfuis, selon les autorités, Simos et Marios Seïsidis et Grigoris Tsimonis, qui ont été mis à prix, il y a quelques jours, par M. Chrisochoïdes pour 600.000 euros.

Tu penses qu'il y aura des gens qui vont donner des informations ?

Effectivement, les autorités, quelques porte-plumes sans honneur et certains hôtes permanents des écrans télévisés³ ainsi que le ministre de l'Ordre Public, et non pas comme le gouvernement aime bien l'appeler de ''Protection du citoyen'', ont créé la scène pour les potentiels chasseurs de têtes. Comme on sait aussi que les gestionnaires du pouvoir politique essaient toujours d'infuser à la société la mentalité du mouchardage et de la dénonciation mutuelle. Parfois par des menaces et parfois par toute sorte de récompense. Heureusement, la société grecque consciente, celle qui reconnaît son ennemi, à cause de tous les maux qu'elle doit, soit aux terroristes gouvernementaux, soit aux élites économiques, et non pas à trois anarchistes poursuivis, a résisté historiquement à des telles pratiques, et je crois que c'est ce qui va se passer aussi maintenant. Pourtant, comme il y a et il y a toujours eu des aspirants inspecteurs Clouzot et des inspirées Agatha Cristy, je dois les prévenir que si beaucoup de gens ont apprécié le mouchardage il n'en a jamais été de même pour les mouchards ...

Selon toi, ils risquent d'être bientôt arrêtés ?

Cela, je ne le sais pas et j'espère que cela n'arrivera jamais. Ce que je sais, c'est que s'ils se font arrêter, ni les chômeurs ne trouveront de travail, ni les salaires n'augmenteront, ni ceux qui luttent jour et nuit, en courant comme des esclaves entre deux et trois boulots, ne verront leur vie changer.

Tu penses qu'ils vont se rendre sans combat ?

Je considère qu'il n'y aura pas de combat au sens strict du terme, échange de coups de feu. Car, tout simplement, ils vont jamais être arrêtés. Je sais et j'en suis sûr qu'ils luttent quotidiennement afin de rester libres. Les hommes, vous voyez, aiment la liberté.

Qu'est-ce que tu ferais si t'étais à leur place ?

Exactement la même chose. Moi aussi j'éviterais mon arrestation, qui, vu la situation, signifierait ma condamnation sûre pour tout crime commis après le 16 janvier de 2006, date du braquage à la Banque Nationale.

Quel message leur enverrais- tu de la prison ?

Mon amitié et mon amour, ils savent qu'ils les ont. Donc, je leur dirai une phrase que Kazantzakis avait dit : ''Je me sens comme si nous donnions de la tête contre les barres de fer. Beaucoup de têtes vont se casser, mais au bout d'un moment, les barres aussi vont se casser.

À ton avis, à quoi sert cette mise à prix ?

Je considère que l'initiative de la mise à prix fait partie de la planification médiatique du ministère de l'Ordre Public afin de contribuer à l'image que le gouvernement veut faire passer : qu'il a du travail. Malheureusement, ce plan qui passe par la militarisation du quartier d'Exarcheia avec des forces policières démesurées et bien sûr, par une remise au premier plan des affaires de lutte armée, tel que ministre l'a dit lui même, aboutit à la mise à prix des trois camarades.

N'oublie pas que les preuves présentées pour impliquer dans des groupes de guérilla urbaine, ne sont que des nouvelles, qui circulaient à travers des rumeurs de la Direction Générale Policière d'Athènes dans des journaux, il y a quelques mois.

Pour moi, tout ça n'est qu'un artifice médiatique et probablement, la fabrication d'une excuse pour l'incapacité opérationnelle de la Police à trouver des personnes qui procèdent à des actions.

Tu verras que dans l'avenir, nous allons entendre des excuses genre ''vu que nous ne pouvons pas trouver les poursuivis, qui sont des terroristes, comment allons -nous démêler le nœud de la lutte armée ?''

Tu veux dire que le gouvernement fabrique des terroristes ?

C'est la seule chose de sûre. Ils le font depuis des années. C'est une tactique stable du gouvernement afin de prouver qu'il est capable d'agir.

Tu penses que la attaque récente au Commissariat de Agias Paraskevis est une réponse à la mise à prix ?

Ceux qu'il l'ont fait vont vous répondre avec un manifeste. Mon avis est totalement non valable. Demandez plutôt à vos collègues, les journalistes, qui, non seulement ils connaissent tout, mais ils savent aussi très bien de juger et de condamner. Ils sont devenus et juges d'appel et procureurs et présidents.

Il circule des rumeurs émanant des services de police, que toi et tes soi-disant complices, vous n'êtes pas seulement de simples brigands mais êtes aussi membres d'organisations terroristes. Qu'est-que tu as à y répondre ?

Écoute. Les seules choses pour lesquelles nous ne sommes pas encore accusés, sont le trafic de drogue, le proxénétisme, le viol de jeunes filles et l'idolâtrie satanique.

Je sais que beaucoup d'esprits riches en imagination dans des services de police s'excitent avec le mélange de tout ça, et sincèrement je m'excuse de les décevoir en leur disant que ces choses se passent uniquement dans les films américains qu'ils regardent et les livres qu'ils lisent.

Selon la Police, vous faites partie de la bande des ''braqueurs en noir''. Quelle est ta réponse ?

La ''bande en noir'' est un titre journalistique ou policier inattentif et riche en imagination qui n'a aucune base réaliste et qui continue d'être utilisé par les médias, malgré le fait que dans le procès qui a eu lieu, il s'est bruyamment écroulé. Comme ils continuent, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, de m'imputer sept braquages, malgré le fait que j'ai été innocenté pour six d'entre eux, et de dire que je possède d'énormes sommes d'argent, alors que le tribunal a pris acte du fait que l'argent venaient du milieu anarchiste.

Et tout ça, au moment qu'ils savent que cette extraordinaire organisation n'a jamais existé et surtout, pour ce qui est des trois amis et camarades pour lesquels, des mandats d'arrêt ont été décernés avec des preuves qui me paraissent ridicules.

Et quoi qu'il en soit, il faut dire un truc qui est une question de sens commun : les cameras dans les banques, sont de vieille technologie et elles montrent les couleurs en noir et blanc. Les braqueurs, vous savez, ont l'habitude d'aller à la banque avec des vêtements de couleurs foncées. ...

Tu as justifié ta participation dans le braquage, où tu t'es fait arrêté, en parlant d' expropriation/aliénation. Qu'est qui différencie l'expropriation du braquage habituel ?

La différence réside dans le sujet, même si pour moi, ces deux termes sont aussi éloignés de la réalité que les termes politiques. Pour qu'un individu appelle son action ''expropriation'', il faut qu'il passe de sa réaction naturelle envers les conditions d'aujourd'hui dans lesquelles il vit, à sa position consciente révolutionnaire, qui n'est que la lutte contre tous les dominants de ce monde. La différence réside dans le sujet qui donne sens à son acte.

La banque que tu as braqué, par la suite, a subi des nombreuses attaques incendiaires et a été obligée de fermer. C'était une vengeance en ta faveur de la part de certains ?

Tout d'abord, je ne sais pas si cette banque a fermé. Quoi qu'il en soit, les attaques qui ont eu lieu quand j'étais arrêté, étaient évidemment des manifestations de solidarité. Pour la plupart des gens, la banque constitue un mécanisme économique cruel qui épuisent quotidiennement des milliers des familles. Et tout le monde sait que les colosses financiers sont responsables de la crise économique actuelle, qui est payée par le peuple.

Tu te définis comme ''anarchiste''. Tu crois à la lutte armée ?

Plusieurs formes de lutte se sont formées au sein des mouvements sociaux. Chacun choisit la forme d'action qu'il pense comme étant en accord avec la nécessité politique de la société dans laquelle il vit. Je pense personnellement qu'aucune condition historique ou objective ne peut faire qu'on laisse un moyen de lutte aux oubliettes de l'histoire. Au contraire, nous vivons dans une époque très violente, où les états exercent du terrorisme au niveau global.

Il y a quelques jours, avait lieu l'attaque du Commissariat d'Agia Paraskevi. Es-tu d'accord avec ce genre d'attaques ?

Ce qui importe, c'est comment ces attaques sont perçues par la société, et non par l'intermédiaire de la propagande médiatique. Moi, je ne suis ni critique ni estimateur des actions de lutte armée. Je n'ai jamais revendiqué un tel titre et je ne pourrais jamais le revendiquer.

Certains anti-autoritaires disent que, quand des policiers qui ont été blessés par les coups de feu, c'est la violence policière qui est punie. Es-tu d'accord avec cela ?

Que l'on ne le veuille ou pas, les représentants en uniforme de l'ordre et de la sécurité, comme on les appelle, ont associés leur existence à la répression et à la violence : avec des tirs au hasard, des viols de femmes, de morts d'immigrés dans les Commissariats de Police, des coups, des tortures, des actes arbitraires, des humiliations, et beaucoup de choses qui se déroulent dans leurs locaux ou dans la rue. En tenant compte de cela, chacun doit tirer ses propres conclusions.

Pourtant, la logique de la responsabilité collective, n'est-pas le plus grand fascisme ?

Cette logique doit être recherchée dans les gagnants des conflits historiques socio-politiques, qui l'ont transformée en tactique habituelle. Le fait que certains rendent tout ce qu'ils ont reçu depuis des années, peut être ça gêne d'autres, mais que faire ? Qui sème le vent récole la tempête.

Tu penses que nous entrons dans une phase de violence armée sans lois ? Par exemple, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, aucune femme n'a jamais été blessée. Que dirais-tu sur ces ''coups aveugles'' ?

Je ne sais pas s'il s'agit de ''coups aveugles''. Tout ce qui a eu lieu ces dernières années fait partie d'attaques contre des cibles qui historiquement appartiennent au système autoritaire de répression et de tyrannie de la société. Je n'ai jamais vu un simple citoyen pris pour cible.

Quels sont-ils tes sentiments pour la tentative de meurtre d'une fille de 23 ans ?

Vous devriez mieux aller demander à ceux qui ont été tués par des policiers.

Faut-il que des jeunes de 19 ans soit pris pour cibles ?

Ceux qui ont tirés ne l'ont évidemment pas fait parce qu'il s'agissait de jeunes. Ils ont tirés pour d'autres raisons, qui évidemment n'ont rien à voir avec leur âge. Ceux qui l'ont fait, nous expliquèrent.

Il y a quelque temps, que des jeunes à Halandri ont été arrêtés, accusés d'avoir participé à l'organisation ''Conspiration de Cellules du feu''⁴. Sont-ils des terroristes ?

Terroristes sont ceux qui nous condamnent à une mort lente. À une vie sans vie. Ceux qui ont manipulé des jeunes de 19 ans afin de changer la route de leur défaite électorale prévue.

Si tu pouvais t'enfuir, tu le ferais ?

Je te réponds avec un slogan ''La passion pour la liberté est plus forte que toutes les cellules''.

Qu'est-ce que tu répondrais à la déclaration de M. Chrisochoïdes ''nous avons une guerre'' ?

Les gens pourraient croire que la déclaration de M. Chrisochoïdes concerne exclusivement les personnes qui se lancent dans des attaques armées contre des cibles étatiques ou autres. Mais une analyse plus attentive montre que cette guerre est lancée de manière diachronique contre les classes sociales sensibles. C'est la guerre depuis longtemps. C'est juste qu'ils ne l'avouent pas. Ces cris de guerre qui partent de derrière les bureaux ministériels et les nombreux gardes du corps, je ne sais pas quelle est leur utilité.

Qui ne devrait pas dormir tranquille en Grèce désormais ?

Ceux qui ne dormaient pas non plus auparavant.

Y-a-t-il une chose que tu regrettes ?

Je prends chaque décision après une longue réflexion et selon mes principes et les valeurs que je défend. Et je suis prêt à les défendre avec ma vie. Jusqu'à la fin.

Comment vois-tu ta vie future ?

À travers la phrase philosophique ''Carpe diem'' ....

Novembre 2009

Six policiers ont été blessés, dont deux grièvement, mardi 28 octobre 2009 dans des tirs d’arme automatique sur un commissariat dans la banlieue nord d’Athènes.

Deux hommes à moto se sont arrêtés avant d’ouvrir le feu sur des agents de garde qui se trouvaient devant le commissariat situé dans le secteur d’Agia Paraskevi à 21h40 locales. Une cinquantaine de coups de feu auraient été tirés. Six policiers ont été blessés, dont deux grièvement. Les agents de police de garde étaient tous assez jeunes (parmi eux, une femme de 23 ans et un homme de 19 ans).

La responsabilité de l’attaque n’a pas été revendiquée mais les soupçons se portent plutôt sur le groupe ''Secte de Révolutionnaires'' – qui est la responsable des attaques les plus violentes à sang froid- que la ''Lutte Révolutionnaire Populaire'' (E.L.A.).

S

2 La police grecque a annoncé samedi 7 novembre 2009, l'arrestation d'une Grecque de 22 ans pour son appartenance présumée à un groupe issu de la mouvance anarchiste et auteur d'attentats sans victimes. La jeune femme est selon la police l'une des membres présumés de ce groupe, "Conspiration des cellules de feu", qui étaient recherchés depuis l'arrestation fin septembre de quatre premiers suspects, âgés de 20 à 21 ans. Ces derniers ont été inculpés depuis pour "appartenance à une organisation criminelle".

3 Phénomène habituel à la télé grecque : les émissions politiques invitent des personnages politiques, économiques, des médias, ou bien qui n'ont rien à voir, pour discuter sur l'actualité. Par la techniques du zoom, ils mettent leurs gueules l'une à côté de l'autre, encadrées comme une mosaïque. Le résultat, c 'est un spectacle de disputes ridicules et artificielles sous le prétexte de discussion.

La "Conspiration des cellules de feu" a revendiqué une vague d'attentats à l'aide d'engins incendiaires et explosifs contre des domiciles et bureaux de personnalités et quatre églises orthodoxes, dans le sillage des événements de décembre 2008.

Le groupe a notamment revendiqué un attentat à l'explosif le 30 octobre contre le domicile athénien de l'euro-députée et ex-ministre conservatrice Marietta Giannakou.

Une attaque similaire provoquant des dégats matériels et utilisant une charge explosive placée dans une casserole a visé vendredi l'immeuble ou réside un député du parti socialiste au pouvoir, dans la banlieue est d'Athènes.

La "Conspiration" avait aussi signé le 3 décembre 2008 une action à l'engin incendiaire contre le bureau de l'Agence France-Presse à Athènes, en "solidarité" avec les neuf membres du "groupe de Tarnac", alors inculpés pour des dégradations contre des lignes TGV en France.

Et d'autres nombreuses actions ...
