Greece, On the demolition of the Centaur (gr) [machine
translation] (a-infos-en@ainfos.ca)
At dawn on August 5 the municipality of South. Philadelphia demolished the Occupied Social
Center "Centaur", which was under occupation since April 2015. --- Within a few months of
operation of the Centaur, the comrades who took him managed to reconstruct the space and
develop multifaceted social action. --- In the last few weeks was one of the main aid
collection points for refugees who have found shelter in Areos Park and manage to survive
by relying solely on the solidarity of the anarchist and the general resistance movement.
---- On the first day of the occupation, the Centaur was attacked and mud war by both
-eklegmeno the mayor SYRIZA- N. Philadelphia Aris Vassilopoulos and some left minions who
were annoyed by the existence of an area akidemoneftis resistance and solidarity in the
region. It is evident that the presence of a social center in the grove of South.
Philadelphia impede both petty municipal authority (in the same room will be built
cafeteria) and in Melissanidis plans for the construction of the new stadium of AEK.
In conditions left Memorandum makes clear that the battle against the commercialization of
public spaces camps have become clear characteristics: on the one capital and power in all
forms of management that can take and on the other the oppressed and leilatoumenoi
from-the -under.
Within months governance the severity with which SYRIZA has attacked the movement has
nothing to envy to that of previous governments. Sewer squatting (Larissa, Ioannina),
breaking university asylum (riot police raided the Rectory UOA), emetic treatment of
prisoners on hunger strike fighters, wood and arrests in anti-memorandum concentrations
make up the mosaic of the attack to the crew world. The mnimoniakoi politicians crooks
SYRIZA having worn for years kinematic mask to manage to climb to power know very well
that the only power that can resist the wild capitalist restructuring is unmediated
movement from-the-bottom, part of which are the squats and social centers.
The squats and social centers are not only points of resistance to the onslaught of the
state and capital. They are places where organized the defense of the working class and
youth, are the places where collectively envision and plan the social revolution. The
world of dignity and struggle not afraid nor bulldozers or left MAT. The most important is
not the facades but solidarity relations formed between the oppressed and the exploited.
For each occupation to evacuate will grow another two.
