CONCERNING THE ATTACK ON AN ANARCHIST COMRADE AT THE STUDENT RESTAURANT IN THESSALONIKI ON 3/10/2005


Another attack by members of the “Antiauthoritarian Move/ment” took place, this time in the student restaurant of Thessaloniki on Monday afternoon 3/10. The anarchist comrade Gregory Thomopoulos, from the Anarchist Archive of Thessaloniki, who has been trialed twice, heavily accused with, because of his participation in demonstrations, was attacked by about 10 bullyboys of the “A.M.”, armed with helmets and sticks, while he was leaving the student restaurant of Thessaloniki. They even spread rumours to the people around that they were attacking a fascist!

It is not the first time that anarchists and other social fighters are attacked by this specific gang. Their co-operation with political parties like Sinaspismos (a leftist party) and the Communist Party of Greece, with mass media and WITH THE STATE, is leading them into further decadence, which ofcourse has nothing to do with their signature “Antiauthoritarian”. The contribution of anarchists in the development of social liberational processes in Thessaloniki, especially after the uncontrolled clashes on 21st of June, 2003 in Thessaloniki during the mobilizations against the EU Summit, is something that bothers those… gentlemen. Just to remind, they were giving guarantees then, through the big newspaper “Vima” that “anyone who creates clashes in the demonstration will be thrown out”! Their conception that social struggles are their property often leads them to try to impose censorship in demonstrations, something that of course has not been achieved. After a case with an immigrant, they try to impose by violence their, distorted in their minds, “truth”, attacking comrades from the Anarchist Infoshop NADIR (B’ student dorm) many times. And of course, it’s not accidental that these new attacks happened after the big insurrectionist happenigs in Thessaloniki on 10/9/2005 during the mobilizations against the Thessaloniki International Fair, and that obviously disturbed the… tactics of negotiation with the state that is followed by the “A.M.”.

SOCIAL STRUGGLES ARE NOBODY’S PROPERTY!
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY!
COPS AND STALINISTS UNITED AS A FIST!
LET’S ISOLATE THE AUTHORITARIANS OF THE… “ANTIAUTHORITARIAN MOVE/MENT”
