Press release from the Coordination des Groupes Anarchistes, an organization member of
Anarkismo in France about the recent shut down and ban on the German-speaking website
Linksunten Indymedia and the house raids that followed. ---- Linksunten.indymedia.org, the
main alternative information website in Germany, has been banned by the Ministry of
Interior Thomas de Maizière on August 25th. Exploiting this website and using its logo are
now considered criminal offences. At least 5 buildings occupied by people from the German
activist scene have been raided, including the self-organized social center Kulturtreff in
Selbstverwaltung (KTS) in Fribourg. Many activist and IT materials have been taken and
anything that looks like potential weapons (knives, sticks , etc) are now seen as evidence
of radical left violence.
Launched in 2008 and allowing anyone to publish anonymously, linksunten.indymedia.org has
quickly become the largest German-language virtual space for organization and information
in the radical left scene. The website currently has about half a million visitors per
month, and last month almost reached 3 million visitors, during the anti-G20 protests in
Hamburg.
As the federal elections will be held in less than a month, banning the website and
subsequent house raids are most likely to be a demonstration of strength for the most
conservative parts of the German electorate. Even social media accounts linked to the
German police have criticized the shut down of an «important[platform]to observe the
leftist scene» (sic).
The information website is also being sued, made more frightening by the fact it is being
sued as a club, which means that all administrators are considered responsible for
everything that has been published. According to the information we received, at least one
person may have been arrested and they are all accused of being members of a terrorist
association.
This represents a new step in the repression of our activities and ideas in Europe. The
last time something of this significance occurred was in 1995, when the German central
power banned the newspaper «Radikal», which sparked many demonstrations all over the
country, especially in Hamburg. In France, even though some music bands (ZEP, La Rumeur)
and anti-authoritian information websites (Jura Libertaire, Indymedia Grenoble) have been
threatened for their lyrics or articles, we have never experienced such brutal repression
against our means of expression and communication. This attack against a radical and
anti-authoritarian information platform should remind us of the need to pay special
attention to the defense of our means of communication in front of State repression.
In Germany, as everywhere in Europe, it is now not enough for liberal governments to let
far-right groups and parties act as they want, and to use and implement large parts of
their politics and rhetoric. They are now attacking struggling people's means of
communication, and repressing anarchist, antifascist, antiracist, feminist, queer and
union activists. The conservative CDU party isn't stopping its revenge against the
anti-G20 demos with these actions; they are now demanding the shut down of the alternative
cultural center Rote Flora, in Hamburg.
Against State repression and attacks on freedom of speech, there is nothing to expect from
governments and authorities! In all Europe and throughout the world, let's resist, defend
our means of communication and struggle, express and organize ourselves and fight together
for the fall of capitalism, patriarchy, racist domination system and State!
International Relations of the Coordination des Groupes Anarchistes,
on the 26th of August 2017
PS. On August 26th, the website published a message in German and English, challenging the
«governments of the Industrial World» with extracts from the «Declaration of Independance
of the CyberSpace». «We'll be back soon» and «we will spread ourselves all across the
world so that no one can stop our thoughts»: rulers, remember!, you'll never get rid of us!

Migrating people and the problem of managing it by setting and militarizing borders is one
of the most important contemporary social and political problems. Establishing state
borders is an effective tool for preserving hierarchies and social divisions on the
geopolitical map of the world. In the era of the so-called. The refugee crisis has taken
on a particular importance, and the way in which European society interprets and defines
the notion of a frontier will emerge in future for the fate of the next generations of
migrants and of each of us. ---- In the middle of the so-called. Refugee crisis, in April
2016, we surveyed the opinions of the inhabitants of selected Oder locations[2]. On the
other side of the border, in Germany, refugee camps were set up. After the outbreak of the
so-called. Local media reported that "more and more centers are being established at the
Polish border", and refugees illegally cross the border, freely entering the Polish side.
According to press reports, the German government placed over 5,500 refugees along the
entire Polish-German border, including about 1,200 in Frankfurt / Oder alone, where 3,000
people were to be sent. In the press appeared first notes on the threat of immigrants.
Most of these reports turned out to be untrue or exaggerated, but 53.7% of the people
surveyed by our border towns still considered the camps on the other side of the Oder to
be a real threat. Almost 40% felt at risk of migrant crisis in Europe at all. As a
consequence, the question of whether the authorities should introduce border controls was
43.9% responded "definitely yes" and another 19.0% said "yes". Although the "closing of
borders" would hit the economic foundations of cross-border cities where international
small trade thrives, and many are hired on the German side, especially in Berlin. In most
speeches, people easily identified refugees with terrorists, unfortunately based on the
message present in the Polish public media. At the same time postulating the closure of
all immigrants in the centers, without the possibility of contact with the environment.
Conversations sometimes referred to the atmosphere of the 1930s, which today's generations
are known only from descriptions and archival materials. Nevertheless, fear, crisis and
ignorance play again in dangerous terrain.
Thus, the effects of geopolitical play: the war and the destabilization of the Near and
Middle East (also through Poland's participation in the Iraq war), acts of terror, the
escape of millions of refugees and migrants, affect the social perception of migration and
the steps to be taken to guarantee safety. In response, European politicians are closing
their borders and building more and more bars. More importantly, the unwillingness of the
public to mobilize against immigrants and refugees. Right-wing parties succeed in
maintaining or occupying power by siding with xenophobic and Islamophobic slogans. It can
be risked to say that in fear of terrorists and refugees in many countries introduced the
law of the state of emergency. We have this to do with the simultaneous decline of social
awareness about what actually happens "behind walls". Not only the number of people
fleeing armed conflict can be compared to the situation of the Second World War, but also
the degree of unconsciousness and the permissiveness of what is happening on the other
side of the border. It reminds the stories of people about the ghetto uprising: "I did not
immediately realize that the Germans set fire to our house. Only the biting smoke forced
us to leave the hiding place. Standing on the roof of a burning tenement, I looked again
at Warsaw on the other side of the wall. People on the other side were watching the ghetto
fire. How did the Romans of Nero's time see the living torches created from the burning of
living Christians? " As Mark Edelman recalled, "What was on the other side of the wall?
People are walking, playing, playing music, the carousel is, people are walking to the
lunapark, etc. For us it was incomprehensible and we felt we were in a forgotten state.
"[3]Unfortunately this experience did not prevent Edelman from supporting the war in
Iraq[4]. Meanwhile, a number of military interventions in Muslim countries have pushed
people into the mass exodus. Remembrance of the Second World War, so far alive in Polish
and European consciousness, has not managed to prevent detachment from others and
pretending that on the other side of the border the problem does not concern us.
Wars of the West produce terror
But illusions give only illusory sense of security against the often created by the
authorities threat. The terrorist attacks in Europe are in fact the consequence of decades
of war in the Near and Middle East, which have no effect on the Old Continent and the Near
East. For an arbitrary period of time, the number of war victims and terrorist attacks in
the Near and Far East is incomparably greater than the victims of terrorism in Europe and
the USA. This does not mean justification for "blind" violence - just as there are no
excuses for American or Russian bombings. Until the war ceases, we must face the attacks
of fundamentalists and desperate seekers of revenge.
US forces and their allies from NATO in the years 2015-2016 have made aviation attacks in
Muslim countries in the Near and Middle East, where at least 63,185 bombs were dropped. In
78% this was the work of the US Army. In recent years, the intensity of attacks has
increased markedly, and it is important to combine the significant increase in the number
of refugees from the raids. We will find information on bombings in the Western European
media like the British Guardian.[5]The bombs are mostly in Syria and Iraq. Exact number of
victims is not known. It is said that as a result of the raids of tens of thousands of
Islamists fighting on the ISIS side, rarely mentioned civilians. Officially, Western
governments (especially the United States) try to maintain the belief that there is a
minimum number of casualties among non-combatants. In turn, non-governmental organizations
report hundreds or even thousands of killed civilians as a result of NATO bombing.
According to one of the portals only between August 2014 and August 2015, Airwars
activists, an organization of independent journalists following the US-led campaign and
their allies to Iraq and Syria, documented more than 50 bombings in which "at least" 489
civilians including about 100 children. "[6]Rzeczpospolita wrote at the end of October
2016 that as a result of the 13-month Russian bombings, 10102 people were killed in Syria,
including 4162 civilians (including 1,013 children and 584 women).[7]
Of course the causes of the increase in armed conflict and the accompanying increase in
the number of refugees are manifold. Desperate people are storming the boundaries not only
because of the bombing of American, British, Turkish or Russian aircraft, but also due to
disorganization, economic collapse and starvation. International public opinion seems to
forget, too,
Refugees are fleeing from acts of Islamic terror, whose victims in the East fall far more
in the West than in the West. The ongoing war in Syria also has negative economic
consequences for neighboring countries and the entire region. For example, the World Bank
estimates that the Syrian crisis has caused Lebanon's GDP to fall by 2.85% in 2014. The
rise in unemployment and the budget deficit have "cost" this country a total of $ 7.5
billion in 2012-2014.[9]
Time of Walls and Financial Flows
The policy of separation through the construction of walls and gravestones has always been
linked to the global tensions and social inequalities triggered by policies developed on
the basis of certain economic interests. Even historical examples of the "fall of the
walls", intended to become a prelude to new global liberal orders, were usually
intertwined with the emergence of new administrative barriers, differing only in form. The
content remained the same. When the 156 km long Berlin Wall, together with a system of
fortifications, trenches, dams and mines, was symbolically collapsed, followed by further
walls of political and economic inequalities - separating the land of Israel and Palestine
by a concrete wall of about 700 km. The height of about 8 meters with control towers and
electrical protection system, which has so far consumed about 2.6 billion dollars[10]; A
steel wall separating the United States, Mexico, Spain and Africa, Kashmir and India, etc.
Nowadays, in response to the so- Old Continent's refugee crisis is increasingly drowned in
its grip. Construction of a Hungarian fence[11], high for about 4 meters, with harbors and
security systems that separates Hungary, Serbia and Croatia. He has so far cost one
billion euros. Currently under construction is his second part. Kilometers per year
between Bulgaria and Turkey have absorbed about 4.5 million euros and another 3 million
euros have been spent on a metal fence with Greek-Turkish fences. Member States, which are
members of the European Union from spring 2015 to April 2016, have issued a total of
around 500 million euros per 1200 km of barbed wire fences and walls alone (cost of
guarding turrets and patrolling of border areas)[12]. Still, people are constantly running
away, trying to cross the border sometimes several times. This is evidenced, among others.
The story of Abed, a 16-year-old Afghani: "It's winter, sometimes minus 20 degrees, we're
waiting here in Subotica, in one of the abandoned factories near the Hungarian border.
There is no water, electricity, roofs, men no longer take to the camps. (...) I have
already tried 20 times across the border ... yesterday the border guards caught me again,
crashed the phone, took off their clothes and poured water. I came back and I will try
again "[13]. In the winter of 2017, people across the border crossed the hinterlands,
trying to make further attempts to cross the border.
In the context of the debate on global social inequities, it should be borne in mind that
the European Schengen Area has primarily opened the boundaries of free circulation of
capital. Although the treaty also banned border controls on people who are nationals of
Member States, allowing about 400 million Europeans to travel freely also to non-EU
countries, the lack of internal border controls was mainly introduced as a necessary step
for the emergence of a single market, And currency and competitiveness.[14]So the lack of
borders made the free and equal flow of people realized? Has the treaty initiated
wide-ranging cooperation on internal security and asylum policy? Not at all. At present,
contrary to international law and the 1951 Geneva Convention on the Status of Refugees,
the international right to seek asylum, refugee status or other form of protection for
migrants is violated.
European state of emergency
The emergence of the Schengen zone has undoubtedly strengthened the co-operation of states
on the level of capital flow, but as regards the flow of people during the crisis (not
refugee but economic), its weaknesses are evident. Security policy, scanners looking for
cars to detect refugees, funding of the fortifications of the "fortress Europe",
introduction of volatile checkpoints in Schengen countries illustrate that for some time
we have been dealing with a European unique state.
In this context, we often make division into more or less desirable migrants. Those who
are better qualified and, according to neo-liberal narratives, are more economically
useful, have greater rights, regardless of whether they are affected, for example, by the
consequences of war. On the other hand, those who can be cheap labor and their low
socio-economic status justify their many rights are often overlooked in the debate on
administrative regulation of equality of movement. The result of this situation is a
process that some social scientists and researchers identify with economic racism,
independent of nationality or religion.[15]At the core of these assumptions there are many
migration management programs at local and national level. This is mainly the case for
larger companies and corporations that can bring in workers who are proposing worse
(working-class) working conditions.
At the same time, refugees bear huge costs of closing their borders, and human migration
has become a business and a source of many fortunes. The costs incurred by migrants in
trying to reach Europe in the past 15 years are estimated at € 16 billion (data from
2015).[16]The profits of smugglers and corrupt authorities are enormous. On the other
hand, in response to migration, only in the years 2002-2013 the European Space Agency
(ESA) has allocated € 225 million to 39 projects for the development of unmanned drones,
heat sensors and odor detection systems. It is not uncommon for taxpayers to pay their own
money in the "security policy" to smugglers and dictators. One team analyzing immigrant
relations came to the conclusion that "the Italian government made an agreement with Libya
and paid for Libyan refugees who did not allow refugees to travel to Italy. Since 2011
Italian taxpayers have spent € 17 million on Libyan support for trainings, patrol boats,
night vision and other equipment. "[17]These expenses also cover the costs of the removal
of millions of people by EU governments.
Poland is forcing the strengthening of the border regime, among others. By working with
Frontex, a European deportation agency. Its Intelligent Border Control (TALOS) systems are
created to replace patrolling machine guards. This project was described in a report
presented to German Spiegel by Spiegel. After one of Frontex's operations at the
Greek-Turkish border they were ordered to open fire to immigrants fleeing the minefield,
the Germans refused to execute the orders. Frontex commanders did not acknowledge that
their actions were against the law in Germany.[18]
In recent years, not only have European countries increased their funding for border
control. The ineffectiveness of border militarization is also witnessed by the failure of
US policy. Alice Mesnard, an economist at City University in London, pointed to
quantitative research on the US, proving the failure of anti-immigration policy. Gathmann
points out that "the methods of strengthening the frontiers adopted by the 1986
Immigration Reform and Control Act (ICRA) to seal the border with Mexico have proved to be
a growing burden for public finances and have contributed to increased cross-border costs,
The influx of people without the right to stay, who are forced to pick the longest and
most dangerous road, which makes them more and more dead. "[19]
Limits expensive and leaky
As Spernata Domitru points out in the article, "Is the world without passports a
utopia?"[20]In 1920-1930 many international meetings returned to the idea of a complete
abolition of borders. Pointing out the many obstacles to the movement of people and the
post-war movement of goods. "In 1924, at a conference on immigration and immigration
organized under the auspices of the Bureau International du Travail (BIT), a request was
made that the passport requirement be abolished as soon as possible ..." Postponing the
complete abolition of the passport requirement. It was not until 1963 that the idea of
abolishing international passports was considered impossible. This happened at the United
Nations Conference on Tourism
And International Travel[21].
However, it should be borne in mind that under international law, any person applying for
refugee status or other form of protection may cross the border without a passport or use
another person's passport to escape persecution. In this case, we can not talk about
"illegal migration" because we would have been able to receive protection in advance in
other countries. Despite this, no one is chasing states that (like Poland) are closing the
frontiers of refugees, de facto breaking the law. The Polish government has refused to
accept the refugees as part of the relocation programs, thereby closing the borders and
causing a situation in which people cross the Polish border with smugglers. In addition,
as alarms, among others. The Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights systematically, with the
exception of the law, is denied the possibility of applying for refugee status for Chechen
families trying to cross the border of Poland at the border crossing Terespol / Brest. A
large part of the people are refused entry, and for more than a dozen months at the
railway station in Brest they have cheetah families who do not want to return to Chechnya
because of the threat. The right-wing government of Poland, which identifies every refugee
with a terrorist (acting exactly as the Islamic terrorists would like it) contests
international law, treating it as a defense strategy.
In conclusion, now more than 65 million people worldwide (more than after World War II)
change their whereabouts due to conflicts and violations of human rights. 1/3 of them were
forced to cross the border for protection.[22]Walling along the borders of Europe is not a
solution. No territory can be sealed. This is not a discussion even about morality, but of
economics, because the solutions they simply do not work, and at the same time they absorb
huge public funds. So a simple conclusion - people will cross borders, and the current
approach based on border militarization will not be effective if the number of conflicts
increases (as many researchers and researchers predict), and economic differences between
regions of the world will continue.

Message: 3
A lasting struggle against state and capital --- After the declassification by the Golden
Dawn Society itself from the "antisystemic" character that it was supposed to pretend and
its utmost identification with neonazism, the state is looking for new successors from the
fascist Space, which will limit their rhetoric to a more patriotic / nationalist narrative
and will therefore better manage their image. --- The Holy Lodge in Thessaloniki was
obviously considered a very fitting case. This, of course, does not apply at all, since
AMUs and other micro-groups that draw their womb from the Golden Dawn and rally around IL.
Even more emphasize their belief in national-socialism, the Third Reich, Hitler, and so
on. ---- The state, therefore, always having the need to form a paracetrical court,
observing the structural weakness of Golden Dawn to successfully mobilize in the city of
Thessaloniki, sees the Holy Loch its last chance to form a fascist struggle that attempts
to step in pavement. That is why EL.AS. And in particular the MATs of Thessaloniki have
been assigned the role of a staff assistant and a bunker of the 15 cathars that are
assembled each time to attempt the rape of any infant kidnappers or just to wipe out their
racist and homophobic poison.
The reason why they summon each other is absolutely indifferent even to themselves, just
picking a theme from the familiar fascist agenda (immigrants, Cyprus, civil war, etc.) and
all the substance is at stake in establishing the alliance With the police on the street,
so they can be gathered around somewhere in the city without even being able to announce
in advance. Police are tangling this alliance, since they did not hesitate to attack the
last two anti-fascist gatherings in the White Tower area, from which the first attack was
the capture of three anti-fascists, and the second the injury of companions and guardians
of guardianship. The cops leave the showcase of supposed neutrality and act as the arm
that the fascists do not have. But when the cops' detours became possible, the result was
fascists still measuring teeth in the municipal yard in Oreokastro. Cops know very well
what the result will be, if they fail to exaggerate themselves in guarding the far right,
so they are attacking with anti-fascists and anti-fascists.
The struggle with fascism is not exhausted in central appointments, in flamboyant
announcements and obedient journeys, it is everyday. An integral part of the anti-fascist
struggle in the city is the anti-fascist concentration that limits the dynamics of the
fascists, as well as their spatial diffusion. The support of anti-fascist rallies should
be the self-evident and minimal mobilization of all anarchist and anti-authoritarian
groupings and organizations, as naturally it should normally be a minimal move, and of
organizations that generally refer to antifascism.
In the next period, both at the central level with the completion of the Golden Dawn trial
and at the local level with the outcome of the battle against the Holy Loch, the next
developments concerning the way of expressing and organizing the anti-fascist struggle
will be judged. The Charlottesville events, and in particular the murder of Heather Haier,
reveal once again the criminality of fascists and neo-Nazis at international level, while
at the same time demonstrating the importance of the victorious outcome of these
struggles. A common thread unites the struggles worldwide against modern capitalist
totalitarianism, fascism and neonazism, and a part of these struggles corresponds to us
and falls on our backs.

Prime Minister Gentiloni publicly outlined on Sunday, August 20, among other things, the
upcoming budget law. ---- Inspired by recent data on gross domestic product, said that
economic growth has returned, claiming that the outcome of Matteo Renzi's government
policy, the Gentiloni government will maintain. The next challenge would then be "quality
of growth in terms of employment and against social exclusion"; With this in mind, the
next budget law will contain limited growth measures, with interventions to promote
employment, with incentives for permanent and stable employment and an extraordinary
commitment to active labor policies. ---- This is clearly a propaganda operation, with
which the government's primary objective is to mislead the exploited, the unemployed,
those who are mobile, the unemployed, waiting for the renewal of social safety nets,
promising inclusion in the world of work impossible for All practical effects.
Hundreds of thousands of workers have been affected by the corporate crises, many of which
are left with nothing and are now exhausting the normal mechanisms of income protection,
even in the face of a progressive reduction and elimination of some of the measures
decided by the Government.
While employed workers are substantially stable, Italy is one of the last countries in the
European Union that has not yet recovered from gross domestic product levels before the
2007 crisis, despite the cuts and sacrifices suffered by the working classes.
Ten years after the outbreak of the economic crisis, unemployment and poverty only
increase, and pensions, education, health, and various forms of social assistance have
been reduced and worsened. Tens of billions of euros have been stolen from the lower
reaches, without knowing what happened to them. The reckless management of the
center-right governments, as well as those of the center-left, and those "technicians", is
there for all to see: we are not faced with a failure, we are faced with bankruptcy, money
taken Of workers, pensioners, unemployed, and that would be used to ensure a minimum of
social security were diverted in favor of large industrial and financial groups, military
circles and clerical apparatus.
Confrontado com o fracasso evidente e o risco de uma revolta social, a partir do
descontentamento dos trabalhadores das empresas em crise, Gentiloni busca lançar mais uma
promessa de novos empregos, o que irá resultar em mais uma chuva de financiamentos em
favor dos capitalistas, ainda com outro corte salarial. Sua finalidade é apenas chegar,
sem muito choque, ao final de sua legislatura; em seguida, passará a bola para outra pessoa.
However, it would be possible to recover money for social services, care, pensions, income
of the laid-off and unemployed, cutting off the great works that never end, cutting
funding and military tax exemptions for the Catholic Church, cutting Interest expenses,
making the tax reform an instrument of social rebalancing, returning with highly
progressive direct taxes. These would be measures that a reformist government, a leftist
government, could do without its contradictions, and probably also satisfy the electorate.
But all governments can not fail to serve the interests of their early supporters, the
privileged and exploiting classes.
That is why the condition of the exploited tends to worsen until the arrogance of
