2008 is the starting year of the global financial crisis and the restructuring of capital.
For Europe, the countries of the region, namely the European South, the ideal field for
the application of a more extreme liberal governance model. The high degree of corruption
in the political system of these countries and their retarded economic development are
fertile ground for the spread of international capital, without resistance from local
elites. ---- As for the resistance of residents and local movements, the recipe is simple:
repression, imprisonment and terrorism. The attitude of the chapter is clear against those
who fight against the degradation of their lives.
Within Cities
Over the last five years, free social spaces, places, occupations within the
cities are increasingly often violent repression of the state. All sorts fight outbreaks,
raw occupations (both political and housing) accept more systematically invaded, with the
aim of closing them by the forces of repression. In a Europe that mass unemployment
-aporroia of capitalist accumulation and anadiarthrosis- leads increasingly ftochopoiisi
and social impoverishment, social sites that try to address the problems of living are not
only ideological enemies [the capital], but an obstacle its economic expansion. Thousands
of buildings remain empty while the urban sidewalks are filled with more and more
homeless. When social relations mediated by profit, the masks of charity fall. Housing and
feeding can not be free and never to anyone.
Natural areas
From the mines in Slag Chalkidiki until resisting zones (ZAD) of Italy and southern
France, movements against the destruction of the environment receiving the most violent
and vindictive treatment, as there the profitability of capital is greater. Local people,
including children, are classified as terrorists / troublemakers or as members of an
imaginary "terrorist organization" only aim vandalism worksites. More features are
examples of rust, where an entire village is accused of involvement in a terrorist
organization, and the NO TAV movement in Italy and southern France, where recently 48
protesters were sentenced to more than 140 years in prison for participating in
demonstrations against the construction railroad. The remainder of this violence cycle
complements the murder of Remi Fraisse, an environmental activist from stun grenades at a
demonstration against the dam Shiwen.
The enemy within
Of course, the legitimacy of all this violence (even the development of an
internal army) was under the guise of national security and protection from terrorists /
anarchists.
The crown jewel of bourgeois democracy in Southern Europe is probably the "gag law" of
Spain, comprising penalties up to carry out assemblies or meetings in public spaces or
"peaceful disobedience to power." In Greece, Koukoulonomos type prisons III, raids on
homes (after undercover phone calls), taking DNA, detentions and arrests of political
opinion or mere participation in a demonstration.
The new management framework is clear: simultaneous suppression of the struggling segments
of society and, in parallel, intimidation and terror for everyone. H upgrading of state
repression and the disruption of social cohesion through fear is necessary for the
preservation of sovereignty.
To reclaim space
The line joining the movements in Spain, Greece and Italy are common. It is the
struggle for self-management of social and natural environments against the rapture of the
companies and their political mouthpieces of capital, enriching themselves by clicking on
the exploitation of the working class. It is the common struggle against repression and
intimidation, the struggle for freedom against the capital gain.
We will not tolerate terrorism of the state and its policies gangs, especially at
a time when the neoliberal crisis management model Unleashes tougher attack to pieces of
the working class who resist. We stand in solidarity with the comrades who are fighting to
overthrow the system through the
social self-organization, re-appropriation of natural and public spaces, the defense of
the environment, in Greece, in the south of Europe, everywhere.
