The situation is critical:
The issued concrete eviction and gentrification plans from the regional government with the aim to extinguish the self-organized community that is struggling in this liberated ground since 16 years, are still not cancelled!
The answer of the community remains clear: no inch of land for the criminal state and capital, we will struggle until victory!
As a counterattack, two community members have entered a hunger strike until death — Aristotelis Chantzis since 5th of February (now 93 days) and Suzon Doppagne since 1st of May (now 8 days).
The three central demands are:
– Immediate cancellation of the contract by the Region of Attica
– All residents of Prosfygika to remain in their homes, in the place and area where they live and have established social, cultural, and organical ties
– Concrete guarantees to be given for the restoration of Prosfygika by the non-profit civil law company „Residents and friends of Prosfygika L. Alexandras non profit civil law company“ with its own self-financing – no public funds for the „redevelopment“ of Prosfygika
On May 16, the 101st day of the hungerstrike of Aristotelis Chantzis, we call for a central demonstration of victory and resilience in Athens.
Leading to this day, we need to increase the pressure and make every effort to make Prosfygika a topic in the European level, as the Greek Authorities still deny to answer the demands of the community and the hunger strikers.
We urge all of you to take action and support the struggle of Prosfygika on an international level! Just as the struggle for community is a unifying struggle across diverse societies, victory will not only be the communities, but connected to all our struggles, both local and international.
Therefore we need everybody to organize and participate in:
– interventions at the Europe Day 2026, taking place 9th of May in different countries (https://europeday.eu/agenda/)
– Gatherings in front of Greek missions in every possible locality (embassies and consulates)
– Solidarity hungerstrikes
– Digital and postcard spamming action
– To hand over memorandums to ambassadors
– Collecting signatures for the support of the demands
– Inviting public figures, journalists, artists in their local context to the gatherings
