Faced with the selection and the other elitist measures closing even more the higher
education to the popular classes, the end of the academic year is marked by an
acceleration of the mobilization in several facs. ---- Despite the period of exams, high
school and high school students continue to coordinate between institutions such as Paris
or Rennes, distributing leaflets, organizing high school AG, filter dams, blocks. Support
from students is always helpful in dealing with the difficulties of organizing, as long as
it does not replace it. Many high school students will have no assignments when Parcoursup
starts giving the results on May 22, the date of mobilization of the public service. ----
A student mobilization that is growing ! ---- Almost all the universities in Paris are now
mobilized and coordinated among themselves. In response, facs were closed
administratively, and the police expelled, wounded and arrested students, as in Nanterre
and Tolbiac, the director having let her in. The " free commune of Tolbiac " (Paris-I)
which voted for the occupation until the withdrawal of the ORE law allowed to gather in AG
nearly 800 students, organizing workshops to make live this open university. In
Saint-Denis (Paris-VIII), in addition to the occupation of an amphitheater to house exiles
for three months, 1,000 people voted to block the college until April 20. And the Sorbonne
was occupied by 400 people following the AG interfac, for the first time since 2006 !
It is in Toulouse that the movement was massified the earlier, because it is in the
continuity of a fight against the merger of the University Jean-Jaurès (Mirail) with other
facs Toulouse. The project was expected to result in degraded working conditions, job cuts
for staff, higher tuition fees for students, increasingly opaque boards of directors,
increased private interest, and valorization of " excellence " sectors and laboratories
To the detriment of what does not meet the needs of the market economy. The strike was
initiated from December by staff, supported by unions such as CGT Ferc-Sup, Sud Educ and
FSU, and was joined by students. Several boards of directors have been invaded and the
movement has begun to assert its opposition to both merger and selection. The AGs then
began to grow and the mobilization hardened in early 2018. In early March, the GA
student-staff voted the blocking of the Mirail campus, and the following MAs were massive,
sometimes culminating at 2,000 people, and renewing the lock at each GA. The continuation
or not of the blocking must be voted at the next GA, after the holidays. The threat of
police intervention is in everyone's head. The local bourgeois media did everything to
discredit the blockage and occupation of Mirail. This is why the mobilized have fought
their way by invading the premises ofLa Dépêche du Midi to impose the publication of a
non-modifiable press release.
For a democratic student coordination
In Lyon, as in Grenoble, while the students against the selection and the student unions
struggling to get the mobilization started, the field work began to bear fruit, with 1400
students in Grenoble voting blocking buildings. This burst later comes also from the
desire to fight against the repression and disgust following the media coverage of the
fascist attack at the university of Montpellier. The extreme right reveals its true role
in attacking the social movement, as in Strasbourg, Paris or Lille. The best answer to
fafs, beyond the self-defense of our mobilizations, is to continue to expand our movement,
to be ever more numerous and determined.
Faced with the repression, other sectors in struggle support us, as in Marseille, where
the CGT port union says it will respond with a strike to any police or fascist aggression
against the occupation of Saint Charles University !
Mobilization is struggling to coordinate nationally. Although the National Coordination of
Struggle (CNL) or the National Student Coordination (CNE) have set dates for national
mobilization, they are not free from reproach. The CNL operates without mandates, so
without democratic control over the decisions that are made there. The CNE, it was
initially controlled by activists of the UNEF who, instead of respecting the mandates of
their AG, acted according to the instructions of their union, including being mandated by
phantom AG, gathering only a handful of students whose goal is to give more voice to UNEF
during the coordination. By increasing the difference of voice between small and large AG,
these maneuvers have less weight. For us, libertarian communists,
As partial and holidays approached, in mid-April, nearly half of the schools were blocked,
with massive AGs like in Rennes-II on April 16 with 4,000 students, of which more than
3,000 voted renewal of the block until April 30th. In faculties where highly-attended GAs
are held, preventing the holding of examinations is possible. Convergence with staff and
teachers is therefore important for students to get their year. The challenge is also to
include students who have just entered the mobilization so that the occupations are alive,
and that the actions outside the facs are widely followed, in order to support the
railwaymen, teachers, hospital staff, employees on strike at Carrefour, in the air sector,
or at the Post Office. The only way to win is to converge the mobilizations. It is a
movement of magnitude that we need, a general strike and renewable that is not to invoke
but to build methodically. The youth must be at the rendezvous, continue to organize
ourselves self-management, convince more and more people to mobilize and go to meet the
workers in struggle !

The first reports are coming in from the Foundational Congress for a New International -
an effort to draw together some of the biggest syndicalist unions worldwide. ---- The
Congress, which began yesterday in Parma, Italy, is being held at the headquarters of USI
and participants have said they view it as a continuity of the ideals of the International
Working Men's Association, the largest anarchist organisation ever formed in 1922. In a
statement ahead of the gathering, organisers said: ---- Yesterday, as today, and even more
so tomorrow, a combative libertarian, assembly and international trade union organisation
is needed in order to defend workers effectively today and, at the same time, establish
the pillars to build a new society in freedom and equality, without relation to the
mechanisms of political and economic power.
Participants include unions which split away from the anarcho-syndicalist IWA in 2016 in a
bitter dispute over the international's future direction, such as CNT (Spain), FAU
(Germany), USI (Italy) and FORA (Argentina) as well as independent groups such as ESE
(Greece), IP (Poland), ARS (Bulgaria) and the IWW (USA, Europe).
A CNT* report on the first day of discussions noted:
Friday began in a relaxed manner with a tour of revolutionary points of interest of the
city of Parma. By midmorning the accreditations of delegates and delegates had been
collected. Subsequently, the collective "Cucine del Popolo" organised a social buffet
offering lunch, snacks and drinks throughout the day.
The afternoon began with a greeting and official welcome to all attendees by USI. The
first table was composed of members of IWW, USI and FAU, which gave presentations,
starting with the GGBO of Germany, an organisation that fights for the labour rights of
prisoners. Next was Cucine del Popolo, from Italy, an anarchist organisation that defends
the principles of freedom, solidarity and internationalism and functions in an assembly
and independent manner.
Presentations continued with the ARS (Bulgaria autonomous workers union) CNT France-Vignol
(which has been intensely involved with struggles against Macron's labour reform,
Deliveroo and sections of Amazon), the newly-formed Popular Movement Rifeño and the
Organization / Association of Workers of Brazil, which focuses on the precariousness of
the education, oil and health sectors. Salutations continued with the WAS of Vienna, the
IWW of the United Kingdom, the Argentine FORA and the Vraije Bond of the Netherlands and
Belgium.
On the agenda today is the creating of a commission for the definition of the new
organisation's statutes and a working group that will be developed according to the
agreements.
CNT is keeping a diary of the Congress as it continues.
There is a dispute at present over the CNT name, with affiliates of both the new
international and the IWA claiming it.

SOLIDARITY IN ANARCHICHO - COMMEMORATIVE TASO THEOFILOU ---- DO NOT HAPPEN THE POLICY
PRACTICE ---- LEFTERIA IN IRIANA ?.?. AND PERIKLI M. ---- In July 2017, the
anarchist-communist Tasos Theophilos was acquitted by the Fourth Five-Member Appeal Court,
which completely relieved him of the conspiracy set up against him and for which he spent
five years in prison. Theophilus was accused of the robbery that took place in the summer
of 2012 in Paros (during which a taxi driver was fatally injured) with unique data an
"anonymous" phone call and a DNA sample of the supposed hat worn by the robber. This
hypothesis condemns the state's dominant repressive strategy today, and demonstrates in a
clearer way its vengefulness and tactics against its political opponents, promoting the
creation of a special statute of exclusion for them.
From the very first moment of his arrest, especially before the Court of Appeals, a
dynamic solidarity movement was developed aiming at the social promotion of the Theophilos
and the liberation of Theophilos, while at the same time aiming at the totalitarian and
repressiveist policy of the state towards the fighters. Theft of Theophilus was an
important victory of the movement in the bleak environment of continuing defeatism, since
it put a brake on the deprivation of special weapons of legal and police repression, while
on the other hand, the use of the dna as a valid proof, in the absence of any other, and
the role of the police and counter-terrorism in setting up anti-anarchists and other
militants was once again highlighted. As he said, "my discharge from all classes is much
more important than a personal vindication. It is a victory for the world of the struggle
against repression. A victory from the bottom towards the deep police state. A victory of
the kinematic and alternative media to the dominant media. A victory of anti-information
against the regime's propaganda. A victory of the movement against the decline of power. "
In a provocative revival movement, on 27 March, an appeal was brought to the Supreme Court
by the Deputy Prosecutor's Office, Angelos Aggelis. On 11 May, the appeal will be examined
in the plenary of the Supreme Court. If accepted, it means that Theophilus returns to
prison with the original charges until the Court of Appeal has resumed by other judges,
since the majority of the 1st Pentamelius who freed him has finally proved to be unwilling
of "counter-terrorism". He notes: "As much as the "anti-terrorist", and the circle of the
prosecutors manipulated by it, seems to have acquired an almost obsessive attachment to my
face, my case remains a matter that is not at all personal. It is politics and it is about
the repressive management of the anarchist space, the wider competitive movement and the
whole of our class. It is politics as it has socially highlighted and raised in public
criticism all the spikes of repression, more basic the terror, the metaphysical use of dna
and the criminalization of personal and political relations. It is politics because it has
highlighted the power and social influence of the movement. Why has it proved that the
"anti-terrorist" and the judicial-manipulated judicial circles, although unchecked, are
not omnipotent.
Another characteristic case of state conspiracy and repression is that of Heranas B. and
Pericles M. In the summer of 2017 he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for their
personal relationship with an accused for participation in the "Kernels of Fire"
organization and even though he was acquitted! The Appeals Council has repeatedly rejected
the request to release them on the grounds that they are likely to commit new offenses.
Recently, the Court of First Instance has launched the second instance of the case. There,
in a comic scenario set up by the headquarters, besides criminalizing the friendly
relationship with an innocent-end-accused, beyond the targeting of trips to the "terrorist
man", Barcelona, he was criminalized even as the origin of one accused from Thessaly, as
the president said he was "uncontrollable". The trial was interrupted and will continue on
May 10 and 24, 2018.
From the above, it is clear that convictions without evidence (or with the sole use of
the science-based DNA means) and the established trials (let us remember the case of the
anarchist Sipsa about the arson of Marfin) are not isolated incidents, through the
sovereign political elite (with sympathetic state co-operation, repression mechanisms and
"independent" justice) aimed at subjugating those who resist, spreading and consolidating
fear in the underworld of society to to unconditionally complete its antisocial goals.
The Syriac-Anean Synergy has chosen to draw and implement the "left" version of the
doctrine of law and order. The evacuation of the occupation of the Rectorate, which was a
sign of solidarity with the hunger strike of the political prisoners, the vengeful refusal
to grant the licenses to political prisoners, the criminalization of friendly and close
relations with them, the attack on any form of unionism (persecution of members of the
Association of Witnesses The targeting of employees in mass transportation, a punitive
dismissal of workers for their action, etc.), persecution and invasions of fighters' homes
against the auctions the trials of entire villages and their transformation into
"terrorist" organizations, the unreasonable adulterations and arrests of fighters, the
established indictments and political struggles, the condemnation of the 77-year-old
militant from Megali Panagia Halkidiki, the conviction of Marios Seisidis in 36 years of
imprisonment, the conviction of Fivos Charisis without information and the refusal to
grant a license etc.) are some of the results he has achieved the upgrading of the
repression that is gradually being implemented by the government in cooperation with the
judicial authorities and the anti-terrorist agency. In addition, the recent cases of B.
Dimakis and N. Yagtzoglou (with the state really trying to exterminate them), as well as
the new approach of the state with the "individual terrorists", which attempts to create a
modern ideos creating a forerunner for the criminalization of conscience. the conviction

" The exception state tends to become the rule
and almost all of humanity is defined as a dangerous class. "
Walter Benjamin
In order to ensure the total imposition of the regime and the unimpeded service of the
interests of the predominant economic and political elites, all means can be used in even
more aggravated form and even more intensive. Thus, this enforcement passes through the
total extermination of those who struggle against it, through the exemplary punishment of
those who lift up the head to resist or have every reason to do so, through the cruel and
overt suppression of those who refuse to accept its dissolution of their lives, through
state revivalism and the material-moral extermination of those who have been in the hands
of the state for their action. The "war on terror" and the exemplary punishment of
dissidents pass through the consolidation of the iron grid of repression in every social
field, with the intensity of control and oversight in society, and the creation of a
special statute of exclusion for politicians and social militants. A regime built under
the special laws of terrorists that imposes special trials, special indictments,
deprivation of basic rights, special cells and special treatment.
The world of power reserves more control, more repression, more exploitation and fear.
Behind him to rebuild the struggle communities, to organize our social and class fronts
and our political presence to overthrow the plans of the political and economic elites.
Let us fight to break the regime of political prisoners, oppose state repression and
attempt to enlarge it, highlight the fate of state struggles at the expense of militants,
fight state revival, and let none of us alone hands of the state.
In the irreversible despondency of the state and the capitalist world, the deadlock, the
political and the valueless bankruptcy, to confront the collective resistance, class
solidarity, the emancipation of the oppressed, the unique living social perspective: the
world of Anarchy and Liberal Communism.

We have already presented two publications that will be offered by the Anarchist
Federation Publishing House at this year's Anarchist Book Festival , namely Steel Century
by Vadim Damier and Romana Laube's Tape and Hoods . The third piece of news you will find
on our stand is the book The Parallel World in Color. ---- Her author Mikola Dziadok (born
in 1988) is a Belarusian anarchist who was five years in prison of the Lukashenko regime.
Besides the reflection of the prison stay, this book also meant the creation of a handbook
for potential prisoners. ---- Mikola was arrested in September 2010 and a number of other
anarchists (for example, Igora Olinevic, whose prison daily Jedou to Magadan we released
in 2014) were charged with an arson attack on the Russian Embassy, the Belarusian Army
Staff, a bank and a casino in Minsk. He refused to ask for a presidential pardon, so he
sat down for the whole sentence, plus several months in defiance of the prison
administration. She is currently studying and living in Lithuania and continues to
participate in protest in Belarus.
You could meet Mikola on the last year of the anarchist "bukwer", where one day he spoke
about the prison system in Belarus, and the second described the Belarusian social
protests of last spring. His invitation to that time was combined with the publication of
a book from the Belarussian environment, which is called Confidential Diary, and will also
be on our stand.
If you did not get Mikolu last year or did not get to the festival, we have a good news
for you. Mikola arrives this year to introduce his book "The Parallel World in Color" and
discuss it as part of the tour that he has prepared for her release. This lecture and
discussion will begin with a short documentary on the persecution of Belarusian anarchists.
The book The Parallel World in Color has 100 pages of A6 format and the recommended
contribution to cover costs is $ 50.
The Anarchist Book Festival will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2018, from 10:00 to 20:00,
in the Eternie area of Smichov, and many books and magazines will be rich in other
lectures - you can find their annotations HERE .https://anarchistbookfair.cz/program/
