The Greek state is trying to financially strangle the anarchist movement with an 
accumulation of fines, with prison sentences for non-payment. Last goal, Giorgos, 
Rouvikonas group, needs our support ! ---- Giorgos, the co-founder of Rouvikonas, has just 
been fined 3,000 euros. If he can not pay this sum far beyond his means, he will have to 
spend one year and four months in prison. ---- These 3,000 euros are added to the huge 
fines that already weigh on the group (200,000 euros in total, including 21,250 legal 
fees). ---- Internationalist financial support can defeat the state's strategy of 
annihilation with state money. ---- To support, pour to the prize pool online .
At the forefront of direct action
If we live in France a period of violent social tension and persistent for several months 
with the Yellow Vests, we must not forget what happens elsewhere where, there too, the 
population is struggling hard against capitalism and its world.

This is particularly the case in Greece, where the working classes are resolutely 
resisting the austerity policies and the stranglehold of capital on the collective 
resources since the crisis of 2008, despite a social and economic continues to deteriorate 
by reducing a broad layer of workers and their families to misery. To fight directly 
against these deleterious effects of the policies led by successive governments in favor 
of the capitalists, several political collectives and self-managed places have been built, 
animated for the most part by anarchist militants, many of them in Greece.

One of them, Rouvikonas ("  Rubicon  "), specialized in direct action against the 
institutions and groups directly responsible for the catastrophic situation of the 
population. The members of this group pay a heavy price for their commitment and, like 
others, face fierce repression.

For several years, the anarchist filmmaker Yannis Youlountas - his blog here - 
disseminates information and organizes solidarity actions - including a solidarity convoy 
to Greece - in favor of these places and collectives, which are in great need. Today, it 
sounds the alarm about the extent of the repression and the material and financial needs 
of the self-managed and collective places with which it is linked.

In the daily struggle against the oppressions of the globalized capitalist system, one of 
the weapons of the exploited is international solidarity with all those who struggle.

This is why Alternative libertaire joins this call, participates and encourages everyone 
to join their means and abilities to solidarity with Rouvikonas, farmers, farmers and 
residents fighting against the airport. Kastelli, the Greek self-managed places, the 
anarchist movement and the Greek social movement as a whole.

Alternative Libertaire reaffirms its support for all those who fight against capitalism 
and anti-social policies, against the violence of state, police and prison repression.

Solidarity is our weapon !
No justice, no peace !
Freedom for Rouvikonas and for all the Greek revolutionary militants persecuted and 
incarcerated !

In a democracy, justice is supposed not to bend to the reason of State. But the case of 
Bisesero shows how the massacres in Rwanda were ignored by the French army more than 
twenty years ago and how justice refuses to investigate the French officials of the crimes 
committed at the time. ---- In the theory of our supposedly democratic system, justice 
should be independent in order to prevent the excesses of the executive power. Without 
being naive about the real independence of this power, associations and activists try to 
use the workings of the judicial system to recognize crimes and condemn their culprits. 
This is particularly the case of several associations mobilized on French involvement 
alongside Rwandan genocidaires.
These lawsuits are intended to make officials pay for their crimes, but also to make the 
crimes of genocide or complicity official  ; at least, to have different opportunities 
during the trials to make noise and to mobilize on these unpopular issues.

Denial of the massacres
This is particularly the case for Bisesero, a complaint lodged by Survie, FIDH, LDH and 
Rwandan plaintiffs.

In 1994, when the Tutsis were massacred for more than two months throughout Rwanda, France 
launched Operation Turquoise on June 22 with the official goal of ending the massacres.

On 27 June, a small detachment of French soldiers discovered survivors on Bisesero Hill, 
on which they and a few thousand Tutsis were being hunted daily. He informs his superiors, 
and the information goes back quickly to Paris. However, the French army does not move 
until another detachment "  rediscover  " the survivors of Bisesero on June 30. For three 
days, France allows the genocidaires to act with full knowledge of the facts !


Worse, some testimonies also accuse the French army of having knowingly allowed to pass at 
the control points of Turquoise Rwandan soldiers and militiamen going to Bisesero to 
participate in the massacres.

Who in the military and civilian chain of command has decided this non-intervention, this 
is the whole issue of this procedure, which could lead to the highest military and 
probably the state.

The inaction of justice
However, the investigating judges of the "  crimes against humanity  " section of the 
Paris TGI are preparing to bury the case by refusing requests for further investigations 
by the civil parties ... which were intended precisely to determine at what level of the 
military or civil hierarchy it was decided to let the genocide continue in Bisesero. These 
requests concern hearings of field officers, journalists present at the material time, and 
especially senior military and political leaders (François Léotard, then Minister of 
Defense, and Hubert Védrine, Secretary General of the Elysium).

By this decision, the investigating judges lead the proceedings to a dismissal, once again 
condemning the impunity of French officials for crimes committed in Africa, and 
undermining the possibility of officially recognizing the complicity of genocide of the 
French State and its decision makers at the time.

The process in Catalonia has generated a strong upheaval in the libertarian movement, to 
the point of provoking dialectical clashes over strategies and tactics that had little to 
do with anarchism and its socio-political work. Overnight, many comrades related to 
anarchist ideas have openly participated in elections or have supported them, and have 
defended the constitution of a new state that is not precisely anti-capitalist; They have 
even attended demonstrations in which the work of the Catalan repressive apparatus, the 
Mossos, was praised. We believe that all these actions need a debate. In this dossier we 
have collected information that can provide concrete data to this debate, so that as far 
as possible, nothing is forgotten. Our mistakes are an important lesson to consider. The 
accumulated material covers the period that elapses between October 11, 2017 and May 26, 2018.

On March 24, 1976, it meant a break between the continuous authoritarian and repressive 
governments to mark the deepening of state violence and the deepening of those 
characteristics that the different governments had been reproducing since 1880. 
Desaparecidxs, flights of death, theft of babies, murders and torture is what the last 
bloody military, ecclesiastical and civil dictatorship meant, which not only took 30,400 
social fighters but, by pursuing all resistance, aggravated the structural inequalities of 
the capitalist system, laid the foundations for the rooting of neoliberalism , and in 
complicity with the world empires, the policies of plundering the Abya Yala territories 
continued.
Our resistance to the oppressors dates back hundreds of years, from the arrival of the 
colonizers to the formation of nation-states. Without any doubt, these state apparatuses 
are our most direct past and present enemies, since they are in charge of imposing the 
capitalist system, at the service of the big financial and multinational corporations, and 
of sustaining the patriarchal, racist and colonial regime, through exploitation, misery, 
hunger and repression. From their structures and through their repressive forces, the 
States have not ceased the bloodshed for those below, from native peoples massacred and 
discriminated against, through the persecution, and respective resistance of the workers 
of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. XX, up to the current times,

Today, we bet to remember this date from the fight, vindicating the murdered and 
disappeared compañerxs for fighting against a system of oppression and death. Companions 
whose revolutionary political project was built daily in their daily militancy, for the 
construction of a new world. Mainly we vindicate our disappeared and murdered anarchist 
comrades, neighborhood and union militants from Córdoba, the Uruguayan Anarchist 
Federation and Libertarian Resistance, whose political project we inherit: anarchism 
organized politically and inserted in the social struggles of the people, in definitive 
rupture with the marginality and sectarianism in which our movement has fallen in 
different historical stages. Also of these compañerxs we vindicate their example, of 
organization, daily struggle and direct action always between below, in their 
neighborhoods, unions, schools and universities. Great examples of complete delivery to 
that otherworldly construction. The task today is to give continuity to this political 
project and to exercise an active memory, of organization and struggle against a system 
that day by day intensifies its violence towards those below, for the construction of that 
new world from feminism, for the socialism and freedom.

We do not believe that the "return to (this) democracy" is even close to the societies for 
which the disappeared comrades fought, and it is certainly far from socialism and freedom. 
We believe that saying "never again" can not be reduced to the denunciation of a military 
regime to save a hetero-capitalist patriarchal regime based on oppression and exclusion, 
on paternalism and the persecution of those below. That is why we say that governments 
pass and repression remains. That is why we shout for all the disappeared, yesterday and 
today, for the murdered by the State in the streets, in the police stations, in the 
prisons. By Darío Santillán and Maximiliano Kosteki, by Julio López, by Yamila Cuello, by 
Facundo Rivera Alegre, by Luciano Arruga, by Santiago Maldonado and Rafael Nahuel,

We decided to exercise our memory in the streets, together with those who continue the 
struggle and resistance for socialism and freedom! Up those who fight! Live anarchy!

DO NOT FORGET WE DO NOT FORGIVE NOT RECONCILED.

We face the reactionary outpost in the region! ---- They are 43 years of that fatal blow 
that left as balance the disappearance of 30,000 comrades / as, the theft of babies, 
torture and other atrocities, and that strongly impacted the social fabric by beginning 
the establishment of the neoliberal model in the country. ---- Recovering the historical 
memory of that event, the fallen comrades, makes our militant task not only for the 
vindication of our past, but also for the disputes and struggles that are taking place in 
the present. ---- It is clear that we are facing a reactionary outpost in the region, and 
that in order to carry it forward, the increase in repression has been one of the favorite 
tools of the ruling class, all with the increasingly prominent sponsorship of Yankee 
imperialism.
A reedition of the Condor plan under the dynamics of bourgeois democracy, which seeks to 
sweep away the rights of those who have been conquered in decades of social struggles, and 
to destabilize those areas that arrogate an apex of autonomy to the imperial project.
However, it is part of the learning of the above that not only with repression is governed 
by those below, it is necessary to articulate ideological elements to give a 
sustainability and continuity to the disciplining of the social body.
It is, in this sense, that the dispute for historical memory, and the demand for justice, 
become a key element in the resistance to the neoliberal offensive.
Before such offensive of the above, the militant task should not fall into immobilisms, or 
paralyzing alarmisms, aim to be better organized in the social fields, aiming at the 
maximum possible unity of action and redouble the commitment and responsibility in the Our 
people's struggles are the pillars from which to anchor to give the fight. Knowing that 
difficult times are coming, but being clear on the ideological that repression is a 
structural element of the capitalist system of domination.
We remember the missing anarchist comrades, especially those who belonged to RL 
(Libertarian Resistance) and to fAu (Uruguayan Anarchist Federation), comrades who in 
their historical moment gave their best to put anarchism at the service of social 
struggles and the construction of Libertarian Socialism. From the FAR we know that the 
best tribute is to continue their fight.
THERE IS A PATH OF FIGHT
A FIGHT PRESENT
AND A FIGHTING FUTURE
UP THOSE WHO FIGHT!

A demonstration against NATO, militarism, nationalism and the war in Thessaloniki took 
place on 6/4. In spite of the rain, 400 people went down the road while in the process 
they participated in their own clubs, the umbra-wahhada, the anarchist-anti-authoritarian 
collectives, from the east, the Pyrant and the ESC School, which also had its own banner, 
the anarchist student group Ataxia, the AP, Adarasia, the meeting for an anti-capitalist 
internationalist left and the OCT. ---- The course followed a major route, reaching out of 
the 3rd Army Corps where NATO's operational center operates, crossed the Tsimiski area, 
passing through the US consulate and arrived via Venizelos and Egnatia in the offices of 
SYRIZA , dissolved across the street, at the Venizelos Statue. Among the slogans they 
heard were:

THE BASIS OF NATO AND THE NATIONS OF THEIR WAR GENERATION WELCOMING THE GREEN

BLOKOKO TAXIKO IN NATIONALITY, IN WAR, AT NATO, IN MILITARISMOS

IN WAR AND PEACE LOST WE ARE OUR BATH WALKS THE STRONG OF THE EARTH

MORGANIZED AND CHALLENGER PROTECTED YOU STOP THE NATO SLAUGHTER

PEACE IN THE WORLD WAR IN NATO, I WANT THE GLOBAL PROLETERATE

NATO AND CAPITAL MADE THE WATER, THEIR WARS, OUR OWN NECROS

POVERTY, EXCELLENCE AND MILITARIZATION IN OUR OWN COUNTRY IS THE BORN

TAXIC STRUGGLE, INTERNATIONAL, NATO AND THE STATES ARE THE DEATH

THROUGH NATO, WE KNOW YOU DEMOGRAPHY

ABOUT THE EIZ, THEIR PROFITS, RELIGIONS AND PATRES WHEN WE NEVER BOW THE MEAT

NATIONAL OR NON-RELIGIOUS - ENERGY - OUR OWN WAR IS TAX

GREEK MILITARY MILITARY OFFICIALS FOR NATO AND AFFILIATES

GREECE TURKEY MACEDONIA THE ENTREPRENE IS BANKS AND MINISTERS

FROM GREECE TO TURKEY, MASCAL LINGUISTS AND ANTI-POST

AT THE DIESEL OF THE EZZ AND OUR OILS WE DO NOT WANT FOR OUR INTERESTS

IN DIFFERENCE TO NATIONALITY AND PAPADES WE DO NOT WANT FOR CARAVANADES

THE SOLIDARITY OF WAR WORKERS WAR IN THE WAR OF THE AFFILIATES

NEITHER ALEXANDROUPOLI NEITHER POSSIBLE, OUT THE BASES AND NUCLEAR

Outside the offices of SYRIZA was heard and the "frightened Syrians we know it well, the 
most faithful dogs of the natives", and at the end of the course it was the beginning that 
it would be the next day with a great part of the course to inform what become in Kodra 
the Straits in the event that the fascists appeared.

In spite of the moderate turnout of the world, the specific course and the actions that 
preceded and will follow are a qualitative cut for the movement and more specifically for 
the anarchist / anti-authoritarian space.

Moreover, this course can not - and could - be nothing more than a new beginning of the 
effort to build a anti-war, class and internationalist movement that will put an end not 
only to the wars but also to the system that creates them.

The next stop of the campaign the demonstrations of the coming Saturday in 
Alexandroupolis, Larissa, Araxos, Souda.

All Thessaloniki partners interested in participating are kindly requested to make a 
reservation to close the bus to Alexandroupolis as soon as possible either directly to the 
meeting or by calling 6984859355 or by sending a mail to one of the following mail.

Information from anti-war / anti-NATO protests on April 6
By APO - April 10, 2019080

In the context of the  Anarchist Campaign of Interfaith Solidarity  Against State and 
Capitalist Barbarism, War and Modern Integration, as Anarchist Political Organization, we 
participated in a  political call  and the formation of distinct political blocks in the 
anti-war / anti-Vietnam demonstrations held on Saturday 6th April in Athens, Patras.

In  Athens , a gathering took place at Klathymonos Square, followed by a demonstration to 
the US Embassy with the participation of hundreds of fighters.

In  Thessaloniki , we marched from Kamara until 3 the  Army Corps, which houses the NATO 
headquarters in Northern Greece.

In  Patras , a gathering took place in the annex and then a march on the main streets of 
the city.

At a time when the bleak prospect of a global conflict comes back to the forefront and 
planning of the military-political staff, we have a duty to organize our resistances. 
Putting mounds on the plans of world sovereigns who promise only death, poverty, wars, 
refugees, misery and misery. Drawing inspiration from the anti-war mobilizations of the 
past, building a strong internationalist movement from the bottom up against the war, 
against modern totalitarianism .

In the direction of building this movement, the resistance to the plans for expansion and 
upgrading of the military bases inside, as well as the wider attempt to promote the role 
of the Greek state in the international warfare, will be another important battle to be given.

The following Saturday, April 13th, we are demonstrating at the military bases of Araxos 
Achaia and Alexandroupolis sending a message of internationalist and class solidarity 
among the peoples.
