On September 27 even completed a crime against the workers and popular interests, the
coalition SYRIZA / ANEL act as sales representative of the interests of the local and
international capital. - The so-called "Superfund" under effective control of creditors
and headed by French technocrat Jacques Le Pap undertakes to sell out with humiliating
conditions on public property, the basic social goods such as water and electricity, until
infrastructure (schools, hospitals, airports, Via Egnatia, Greek etc.). - Privatisation in
no way serve the workers' and people's interests, such as trying to get our modern
preachers of exploitation, either wear or wear neoliberal social democratic facade.
The public wealth stolen is sold out industrious sweat and through the plunder of
intensifying the deterioration of working conditions, combined with tariff increases and
deterioration of infrastructure and the quality of social goods.
The so-called "Superfund," in which they join the HRADF, the Financial Stability Fund, the
Company of the State Property and Public Holding Company, is a neo construct, which takes
about 99 years to "build" and to liquidate assets public, under the supervision and direct
control of the imperialists lenders. H commission and the ESM will appoint two of the five
members of the Supervisory Board (which in turn appoints the board members), while
decisions are taken on a qualified majority members 4. With this trick the absolute
control of "Superfund" passes substantially and formally in the hands of lenders, since no
decision would not be obtainable without their approval. The proceeds from the sell-off
will head straight into the pockets of loan sharks, to service a debt that is not created
by the people, under the third memorandum, while releasing and new fields of profitability
for capital. The "Superfund", together with the financial "cutter" that acts as term
memorandum mortgage the future of the country and its people, monimopoiontas social
desertification looting scheme.
The mnimoniakes governments all these years trying to convince the workers that their
countless sacrifices, the cuts in social spending and privatization will bring growth and
economic recovery, with "equitable distribution and social sign". The working people have
longer experience not believe these tales, as he feels in his own skin the constant
abrasion to serve the interests of a handful of plutocrats. He knows very well that any
"development" come in the near future to press on the blood and sweat of those who produce
with their work the entire social wealth.
Only with constant stubborn struggle and the struggle of the exploited can turn this
negative correlation we experience during the years of mnimoniakis squall. Only the
organization of working people, creating a broad front of class struggle and disobedience
to the dictates of the civil power block will be built mounds in barbaric attack by
capital and the state of. Only the class tried to come back the hope.
WHY THE ROAD TO THE SATISFACTION OF MODERN EXTENDED popular needs PASSES THROUGH THE
CONFLICT WITH IMPERIALISM, THE LOCAL CIVIL CLASS AND THE STATE OF
"Without the conflict not Carter the right
never steriose the right without fight
For those who build the world
it's never too late"

Street after three of their agents attacked Jane Nicholl during a peaceful protest (not
against them!) a couple of months ago. Foxtons directly condone male violence in this case
but it's also important to remember that the housing crisis, which they are involved in
propelling out of control, is a gendered crisis. #parasites --------- Members of the

The group, known for their 'Bash the Rich' events, called all women who are against
‘police collusion, corruption, and male violence.'

Members of the Class War group arrived outside Foxton's estate agents in Islington today
The Women's Death Brigade were calling all those against ‘police collusion, corruption,
and male violence' to join them
The protest follows a clash outside the home of Boris Johnson in July this year
As the Mail Online previously reported three Foxtons estate agents were sacked after
brawling with the class war activists outside the foreign secretary's home.
The men were seen exchanging punches and grappling with hooded activists on the street in
Islington as they became wrapped up in a protest.
It is believed the suited men were on their way back from a nearby pub after shutting the
Islington branch of the firm early.
From noon today the outside of Foxton's building on Upper Street, Islington, was taken
over by the women who also left stickers all over the building and handed out flyers that
they claimed showed the injuries one of their activists sustained during the alleged fight
in August.
Three Foxtons estate agents were sacked after brawling with the class war activists in July
Metropolitan Police confirmed today that the charges against one man have been dropped but
two others face charges of assault of a police officer
But the anarchist group say this is not justice for one of their members who was 'attacked
without warning'
Class War claim the three estate agents attacked a woman without warning, but the criminal
charges against one of the men have been dropped, sparking anger towards both the company
and police.
According to a statement on Class War's website: ‘On July 15 this year I was violently
assaulted by a Foxtons Estate Agent who came with his colleagues to disrupt our
demonstration outside Boris Johnson's house. I suffered concussion and was hospitalised
with five stitches to the back of my head and severe bruising.
‘Although the attack is on video and shows the police watching me being pushed over and
calmly ignoring this, the Crown Prosecution Service has decided to drop the case due to
"lack of evidence".
‘Let's go on the offensive! We are not victims!'
The group handed out posters showing these pictures of the woman who said she was hurt in
the fight earlier this year
The Women's Death Brigade also left posters on the side of the company's office in London
Foxton's previously said they had sacked all three men involved from their London office
(pictured)
The video shows one of the men grappling with a protester and launching punches at the
back of his head during the melee before police officers pile in.
At the beginning of the footage one of the agents, who appears to be drunk, can be heard
shouting 'Oh Boris I love you' before wading through the crowd.
The camera then cuts to two men, one estate agent and a protester, scuffling before
falling to the ground.
Both sides are then seen attacking each other as officers try to separate them.
Melee: Foxtons' estate agents brawl with Class War activists as they get wrapped up in a
protest in north London
Activists can be heard chanting that the men are 'women beaters' although it is not made
clear why.
The footage ends with then estate agents being surrounded police as the baying mob, which
has let off a purple flare by this point, is dispersed by officers.
Previously a spokeswoman from the estate agents told the Evening Standard: 'We were
extremely disappointed to learn of this incident.
'Foxtons absolutely does not condone this sort of behaviour.
'We pride ourselves on the professionalism of our agents and this isolated incident was
treated with the utmost severity.
'Following an internal investigation, those employees found responsible are no longer
working for the company.'
The Mail Online has contacted Foxtons today for an additional comment.
Patrik Aghabeh, 28, from Drayton Park, was charged with assault by beating and bailed to
appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Monday, August 15.

From 4 to 7 August was held in the city of Frankfurt the X Congress of the International
of Anarchist Federations (IFA). , Founded in Carrara in 1968, this International brings
together formal organizations with a federalist perspective in Congress assembled in
principle every four years. The former had done during the busy International Meeting of
Anarchism, held in St. Imier (Switzerland) in 2012, which celebrated 140 years of the
founding of St. Imier International, Bakunin, Guillaume, Malatesta and others after the
expulsion of the anarchists of the AIT in the Congress of the Hague. ---- The Congress was
held in a building run by students from the local university with excellent conditions for
such an event: catering area and living in the entry level garden, where two groups
prepare meals, and two plants with a large room where they were held plenary sessions and
numerous rooms, which are used for discussions, workshops and informal meetings sessions.
In addition, in the lobby of the 1st floor there was still room for different
organizations present set up their own stalls, books and other materials.
At the beginning of the Congress were part of the IFA the following organizations:
Libertarian Federation Argentina[did not attend Frankfurt], Belarussian anarchists,
Anarchist Federation in Bulgaria, Federation of Anarchists German-speaking (event
organizer), Anarchist Federation of Britain, Federation for anarchist Organization
(covering groups in the states Slovenian, Croatian and Serbian) and the anarchist
federations Czech, French, Iberian and Italian-speaking. Belarussian anarchists were
represented by a person living abroad, belonging to the Black Cross Belarus. They were not
present or were represented and the Anarchist Federation of Bulgaria (no activity for some
time) and the Iberian Anarchist Federation, a fact that surprised the participants and
which may involve difficulties in the operation of this historic organization.
In addition to members of the IFA were also present members of projects and guests: the
new Anarchist Federation Caribbean and Central America (FACC), the Libertarian Workshop
Alfredo Lopez (Cuba), libertarians groups KISKEYA (Dominican Rep.) And Grouping Anarchist
consciousness (El Salvador), the newspaper El Libertario (Venezuela), the German
anarcho-syndicalist FAU, Political Anarchist Organisation (Greece), the union Vrije Bond
Dutch state, DAF Turkey, the Anarchist Forum Kurdish, the Solidarity Movement Workers of
Aotearoa (New Zealand) and various anarchist individuals from around the world.
After the presentation of the organizations and persons present, Congress began with the
unanimous ratification of the applications for membership from the Anarchist Federation of
Mexico, the Anarchist Federation Valdivia (Chile) and the Federalist Anarchist Initiative
in Brazil. This 3-income non national level imposed the need to change the partnership
agreement of the IFA: At this Congress, the existing partnership pact, rather Eurocentric
in its original form, only allows organizations of members of national dimension and
territory. For example, the French territory could only be "represented" by the French
Anarchist Federation (FA), certainly one of the founders of the IFA. Any other
organization acting in the French state, could only join the IFA if you also had national
coverage and if the FA is not opusiese. Given the size of the states of the American
continent and the consequent difficulty of forming a national organization, the
continuation of this restriction, in practice makes it impossible for the accession of
members of any existing or future organization in these territories. Now this conflicted
with the main objective of the IFA today: increasing the number of member organizations
and their sphere of action to territories beyond Europe. Therefore, with the change of
partnership pact possible that rather local or regional associations, national, may
coexist in the IFA with organizations operating in the same territorial space it became,
maintaining however the need for agreements with the organization previously adherent.
However, this new formulation of the Associative Pact immediately raises an issue that
probably will be debated in the short or medium term: what is the position of any European
federation if another organization, not national level, but acting in the same territory
requests to join the IFA? Consider what would be the reaction of the Iberian Anarchist
Federation, apparently now in a situation far from its glorious past, if, hypothetically,
existing anarchists in Catalonia and the Canary Islands Federation independently want to
join the IFA. Accept or veto? And what are the consequences of one or another position?
On the other hand, is part of the IFA a transnational organization, the Federation
referred to the anarchist organization federating groups in the states Slovenian, Serbian
and Croatian, although that is not covered by the partnership agreement. What will be the
position of the IFA and existing organizations if they suddenly begin to arise small
transnational partnerships formed by groups with linguistic affinity (eg an Anarchist
Federation Galician-Portuguese hypothetical) ovpor share the same geographical reality
(even a federation hypothetical anarchist Patagonia, with the participation of groups from
Argentina and Chile much closer to each other than Buenos Aires or Santiago de Chile), or
have the same kind of struggle (continuous in the field of hypotheses an anarchist
Federation Notre give me des -Landes and Val Susa) and decide to ask for membership?
Anyway, these are questions that the IFA will have to find coherent responses to act
accordingly. Given the ease with which took place this Congress, apparently without
tension, I think we have lost an excellent opportunity to deepen a discussion on how and
geographical area that should or could have formal organizations anarchists, in this case
federalist character.
Others, although not conclusive, important discussions were held on the method of
financing and operating mode of the CRIFA (Relations Committee, IFA). On the first
question, the Congress participants were informed that the IFA is currently without funds.
This is due to the substantial financial support that the IFA has given, from St. Imier
Congress, the expansion of organized anarchism federalist nature, and also to the various
initiatives such as the Anarchist Red Mediterranean, or specific groups, such as DAF and
the Kurdistan Anarchist Forum. According to the Secretariat of the IFA, therefore, it is
urgent that the various regular member organizations to establish ways to contribute
continuously, as far as possible, for this common background. As for the second question,
and broadening the IFA in the Americas, it is important to define and approve other form
of call for CRIFA (which meets twice a year) and it is impossible to economically afford
transcontinental trips delegates member organizations. various proposed solutions were
placed. Do you keep a single CRIFA with alternate meetings on both continents, but with a
small number of delegates, ie, when the meeting was on the European continent, it would
have only one or two delegates from organizations in the Americas, and vice versa. Two
separate meeting CRIFA? Does using Skype or other contact via the Internet at the expense
of in-person meetings? Nothing has been decided, leaving the organizations present to
reflect on this issue and give its opinion later.
Finally, Congress passed some strategies for action on specific issues: war, nationalism,
migrants, Kurdistan, "safe spaces", patriarchy, international campaigns and fight against
the city. It was also decided that, if possible, the period between congresses seek to
establish in three years instead of the current four. The new Secretariat was provided by
fellow Anarchists Federation of Great Britain and the French FA, the latter which will
ensure the operation of this body in the following year, will leave in a year.
As already mentioned, the Congress was held in a pleasant way, with many intervals that
allowed informal discussions and moments of conviviality. The two groups in charge of the
kitchen, despite all the help they received, were filled with work to provide participants
with breakfast, lunch and dinner with good quality food. The organization was excellent
and managed to arrange free accommodation for those who requested it.
Some final lines to the Federalist Anarchist Initiative in Brazil. The common language
approached us and was happy to personally meet friends with whom conversed on the
Internet. This organization aims to be the embryo of a future federation comprises three
groups: the Anarchist League Rio de Janeiro, which publishes the Levante newspaper, Nigra
Fenikso (Black Phoenix) group of Campinas, and the Commune Anarcho-punk Aurora Black ,
driving the Social Culture Center Favela da Vila Dalva in Sao Paulo. In addition to the
specific activities of each group, the Initiative organized in 2015, the 1st. Anarquista
general forum in Rio de Janeiro, open to all currents of anarchism, and event in 2016, the
second in Salvador. 2017 is planned 3rd., To be held in June in Campinas and which invited
the Portuguese anarchists who wish to participate.
