A-Infos (en) Greece, APO:[Athens]State terrorism will not pass | Solidarity rally for those arrested on December 6, 2025 (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

On Monday, December 15, the postponed trial (three-member Misdemeanors) 
of those arrested during the December 6 demonstration in Athens, for the 
17th anniversary of the state assassination of Alexandros Grigoropoulos 
and the social uprising of December '08, was set. The arrested are 
facing a number of misdemeanors, more specifically: disturbing the 
peace, resistance, disobedience, refusal to submit to fingerprinting, 
insults, illegal possession of a weapon, violence against employees, 
attempted serious bodily harm and aggravated assault. The heavy and 
fabricated indictment with which the comrades are confronted is nothing 
more than the depiction of the vengeful nature of the state apparatus 
towards those who continue to keep the road open in a period of 
heightened repression and intensification of the conditions of 
exploitation of those from below in every field of everyday life, while 
at the same time it demonstrates the intensity of the state repressive 
attack that the demonstration of December 6 received, with the direct 
aim of the state staffs to terrorize those who were on the street, those 
who were not there but saw the fury of the uniformed scum against the 
bodies of the demonstrators and those who still keep the flame of 
December burning and its precepts alive, of rebellion, social 
self-organization, class solidarity, militant resistance and the vision 
of Social Revolution.
The forces of repression on 6/12/2025 savagely, completely unprovoked 
and in a coordinated manner attacked a large part of the march and in 
particular the anarchist blocs, including our bloc, while it was in 
Panepistimiu, resulting in dozens of injuries and arrests. Among those 
arrested are a comrade and a comrade of the APO. This attack was 
violently carried out on a body of thousands of demonstrators with flash 
bangs, chemicals and extensive beatings. As for our bloc, the 
Praetorians of the state, after attacking from both sides, then 
surrounded it, creating a suffocating situation with no way out for the 
demonstrators.
The repressive attack on the December 6th march in Athens is part of the 
intensification of state repression against the struggling sections of 
society, against social and class resistance and especially against the 
anarchist movement and is not an isolated event. On the day of December 
6th alone, dozens of arrests were made, the morning student march 
consisting of anarchist students and anarchist students moved under a 
suffocating police cordon, the encampment of occupation forces at the 
site of the assassination of Al. Grigoropoulos in Exarchia and the 
blockade and encirclement by forces of repression of the demonstration 
in Thessaloniki for about 2 hours, without allowing it to be completed, 
are just a few of the many examples of the intensity of the state's 
repressive campaign and the depth of modern totalitarianism, for the 
crushing of every voice that stands up against state and capitalist 
barbarity. But also in the demonstrations of the previous period, which 
were severely beaten and comrades and activists were faced with arrests 
and persecution, such as in the solidarity march in Palestine in Athens 
on 7/10/25 and in the march in memory of the anarchist activist Kyriakos 
Xymitiris and in solidarity with the activists in custody for the 
Ampelokipi case. At the same time, state mechanisms and in collaboration 
with the rectorate authorities have launched a series of persecutions 
against struggling students, with the aim of prevailing silence inside 
and outside the schools, where anyone who resists the restructuring of 
repression, control and subordination in higher education will either be 
condemned in courtrooms, as in the case of the anarchist student Z.M. 
for intervention by the Anarchist Students Initiative of Athens in 
solidarity with Palestine, with the plaintiff being the rector of NTUA 
Hadjigeorgiou and the prosecution witness being the dean Tsanakas, or 
they will be threatened with disciplinary action and expulsions like the 
students of the NTUA Architecture Department who occupied their school.
The depth of modern totalitarianism is manifested on the one hand by the 
continuous and more unfavorable restructurings against the large social 
majority, but also by the preparation of the social base for a warring 
society, the consolidation of a condition of silence and at the same 
time submission to the plans of the dominant and on the other hand by 
the crushing of the internal enemy, any resistance that manifests itself 
from below and aims to put a dam on the antisocial and criminal policies 
of the state and capital. That is why the anarchist movement, as long as 
the system of power is delegitimized and is in deep crisis, is the first 
to be targeted for repression both in physical terms and in ideological 
terms, through its slander and the operation of its isolation. However, 
the crisis in which the state and capitalist system finds itself does 
not necessarily lead to its collapse, on the contrary, it intensifies 
its attack with arrogance and heightened intensity, aiming at the 
numbness of social and class resistances and the prevalence of fear. It 
is, therefore, in our hands, in the hands of the plebeians to put up 
those embankments, to meet, to collectivize, to act horizontally and 
unmediatedly and to highlight the inexhaustible forces that are 
engendered within the collective processes and in the collective and 
organized struggle against the artificial divisions that the sovereigns 
impose, against state terrorism, exploitation, impoverishment, war, 
fascism, the state and capitalism. For a life with dignity, for a 
society of solidarity, freedom, equality, justice.
As anarchists, we have no other path than the one we have chosen, which 
gives strength to our dreams, which shapes camaraderie and gives flesh 
and blood to the vision of an emancipated, stateless and classless 
society. We have no other path than to fight for the Cause, the Social 
Revolution, Anarchy and Libertarian Communism. And that is what we will do.
