As for the Community Of Squatted Prosfygika on Alexandras Avenue, this August brings dangers and calls for our vigilance. The Region of Attica may have suffered a crushing defeat, the fairytale of European funding may have been exposed, and a broad-based movement and institutional bulwark may have been erected against them, but the Mitsotakis regime continues to threaten with evictions and operations aimed at dismantling the Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
August has historically been an ideal opportunity for repression, although in the case of Prosfygika, the magnitude of the cost and risk – highlighted by the powerful movement that has developed – warns them otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For our part, as communities and movements, we must remain constantly ready for action. The ten-day period from August 10 to 20, as well as the entire period until the end of the month, continues to be a time of emergency, requiring increased vigilance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To defend our communities – and refugee communities in particular – it is not enough that the residents simply defend themselves. Everyone needs to be ready to take action in Athens, in the provinces and internationally, at work, in vacation spots, and in their daily lives as a whole, in order to stop the state\u2019s and the forces of repression\u2019s plans to plunder and destroy the community and neighborhood of Prosfygika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout this period, we reiterate our call to strengthen our presence and resistance in Prosfigika and, in the event of a repressive operation, we call for the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mass turnout in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mass actions everywhere, wherever
each and every person may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a general uprising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To stop the plans of the state and the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To keep Prosfigika as a liberated space of autonomy, self-organization, solidarity, and social struggle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
August is a period that the state and its repressive mechanisms choose as a prime time and arena for political action. It is a period during which societies and social movements are on vacation and at a standstill. It is not only the squats that are at risk. During the summer and the month of … <\/p>\n
