Boris Johnson is almost certain to be our next Prime Minister. ---- Boris Johnson - a 
proudly racist, sexist, homophobic prick - will take hold of a Government defined by its 
violent cruelties to people of colour, migrants, women. ---- A Government responsible for 
the hostile environment, for Windrush, for Grenfell, for 130,000 austerity deaths, will be 
led by a man who described Black people as "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles", 
compared Muslim women to "bank-robbers" and "letterboxes" and referred to gay men as 
"tank-topped bumboys." ---- We say: nah. ---- Boris will be sworn in as PM on 24th July. 
We will be ready to greet him. We will be ready to reject him. And we will be ready to 
reject every single one of his cronies and everything they stand for.

At the time he gives his first speech as PM, we will hold a street festival celebrating 
the power of our communities. There will be music and art. There will be noise.

Bring your friends + bring the volume - bring rigs, sound systems, portable speakers, 
whatever you have.

We will make ourselves heard - we will not let this man become PM without a fight.

 From the beginning of July, Employee Capital Plans (PPK) will be introduced in companies 
employing 250 or more employees. The program will be implemented gradually, ultimately it 
will cover all employees in January 2021. Employee Capital Plans are a savings program 
strongly reminiscent of OFE, but in this case their character is theoretically voluntary. 
PPKs are not a pension scheme in the strict sense - the funds are private, can be used 
before the retirement age and can be inherited. ---- In the case of people between 18 and 
55, voluntariness boils down to being able to unsubscribe from the program. This means 
that each person from the machine is registered in PPK, but he has the right to cancel the 
program by submitting a written statement. The declaration of resignation from the PPK 
should be submitted at every change of work, and regularly every 4 years. In turn, people 
between 55 and 70 years of age will be able to save in the PPK, if they declare such a wish.

PPKs are not a typical retirement plan - unlike OFE, funds to PPK are not deducted from 
the pension contribution, only directly from the remuneration. Joining the PPK will 
therefore be associated with a depletion of wages. The deducted part will constitute 2% of 
the gross remuneration. The government from this amount offers ZUS relief and tax relief 
(this amount will be treated as a deductible cost). In addition, we can voluntarily report 
that we want to pay more - then the program will receive another 2% (both amounts 
calculated from the gross amount). On the part of the employer, the PPK is obligatory, the 
employer will pay 1.5% of the remuneration, plus (voluntarily) 2.5%. In addition, the 
state offers a 250 PLN welcome contribution and pays PLN 240 a year to the program if the 
total amount of payments in a given year is at least 6 times the premium from the lowest 
remuneration.

How is this supposed to work in practice? For example - Earning PLN 2100 gross and 
dedicating 2% of your salary will be deducted PLN 42. On the part of the employer, PLN 
31.50 will go to the fund. Assuming that our salary will not change, after 25 years we 
should collect a total of PLN 28,300. That's how much we collect from our donations. The 
program has no guarantee of profit, assuming a rate of return at the level of 3.5% (rate 
of return slightly above the current level of interest rates on treasury bonds and bank 
deposits), we will accumulate approximately PLN 45,000 on the account. After reaching the 
age of 60, you will be able to pay 25% of the collected funds once, that is 11,000. PLN, 
and then for 10 years in monthly tranches, we would receive PLN 275.

The program can theoretically be interrupted at any time, but you have to reckon with the 
loss of bonuses added by the state. The whole of our payments will be in the pocket, as 
well as 70% of the amount provided by the employer. The rest will go to ZUS. We will be 
charged income tax on the money we have received from resigning from the PPK.

Money accumulated in PPK can also be used as an own contribution to finance a mortgage 
loan, as a kind of interest-free loan. You will be able to take advantage of this option 
before reaching the age of 45 and use up to 100% of the accumulated capital. It will have 
to be returned in full within 20 years. This type of withdrawal can be made only once. In 
addition, funds from PPK will be able to be paid in the amount of 25% of the accumulated 
amount in the event of a serious illness.

With the introduction of the TNC, trade unions are given the competence to choose the 
managing authority. Non-representative unions are also entitled to such consultations. In 
the absence of agreement between trade union organizations or failure to meet deadlines, 
the employer himself indicates the fund to which the money will be sent.

Employee Capital Plans are a product that raises mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is a 
poor hybrid of a savings and pension program, in which the monthly deduction is quite low. 
In the event of an emergency, or when buying a flat, it may be money that will 
realistically affect someone's financial situation. On the other hand, it should not be 
forgotten that this project from the point of view of the pension system is completely 
irrational - there are NO guarantees that the funds will make a profit. It is difficult to 
say that it would protect future retirees in any way. Undoubtedly, however, it is a great 
product for companies that will manage these resources - they do not bear any risk, but 
considering the size of the group that the program is supposed to cover, management fees 
(charged of course on the total value of the funds raised, not on the earned profit) can, 
overall, turn out to be very lucrative. However, as regards the competences assigned to 
trade union organizations - it might as well not be because the choice of the fund will 
take place "in the dark", based on marketing information. In some respects, it is worth 
subscribing to the PPK (but one should not expect too much) - although the program 
estimates approximately PLN 4 billion from the state budget per year, it may be beneficial 
for an individual employee in some cases. because the selection of the fund will take 
place "in the dark", based on marketing information. In some respects, it is worth 
subscribing to the PPK (but one should not expect too much) - although the program 
estimates approximately PLN 4 billion from the state budget per year, it may be beneficial

for an individual employee in some cases.

 From the social point of view, this program should be called the next installment of the 
privatization of pensions. PPK has the same disadvantage as any other private pension 
system - money can end there and we can stay with poor means to live. The workers' 
movement should fight to maintain the social character of pensions and keep their 
organizations as far as possible from the capital markets. It remains a matter of dispute 
whether the system should be based on a guaranteed benefit (in other words, as before the 
ZUS reform of 1999) or a civic pension system financed directly from the state budget. The 
current system based on a guaranteed premium (our pension is proportional to If we 
accumulate savings on the account in ZUS for years), it does not follow the social reality 
- the scourge of junk contracts deprives and deprives employees of retirement savings, 
which will result in a very low ratio of pension received to the last salary received (the 
so-called replacement rate). The introduction of the PPK may perhaps ease some of the 
employees (some may also lose) the transition to a low pension, but it certainly can not 
be said that this is the healing of the Polish pension system. The condition for this is 
to cut the system from market speculation. Society will not make a stable and just pension 
system, as long as bankers will take care of it. which will result in a very low 
proportion of the old-age pension received to the last salary received (the so-called 
replacement rate). The introduction of the PPK may perhaps ease some of the employees

In September 2016, the abandoned and long-standing building on 99 Philaou Street in the 
Pangrati area was reborn. Anarchists and anarchists seized it in order to create a 
liberated territory and transform it from a building into a living place of meeting and 
creation for the inhabitants of the neighborhood into a base of resistance for the 
struggling people . Another point of resistance to power mechanisms, to bosses' 
development plans, to partisan-fascist reserves, to outsourcing and mediation, to the 
commercialization of public space, and to the tourism of the neighborhoods. Embankment in 
the state and capitalist plunder of our lives.

While the occupation of Filolaou 99 closes for nearly three years of presence and action, 
Vassilis Panagiotaras , a resident of Petralona, Dorian 6, was declared by magic , 
declaring that he is the "legitimate owner of the space". In cooperation with the lawyer 
Michalis Charalambos they informed the partners involved in the occupation of their claim 
that the building be abandoned and given for their own use and most probably for 
commercial use. The inherited papers they have presented are of dubious origin. The 
validity of the documents, however, is of minor importance and simply demonstrates the 
audacity of those who want to make business on the backs of a liberated and living 
organism within the commodified urban landscape.The cooperation of these two subjects, 
which aims at suppressing a struggle structure, is not to cover their own basic 
livelihood, but it is part of the planning of the wider center of Athens for regeneration 
and wild tourism. Where small and big investors meet in a merciless race for profit.

The design of state and capital, for the center of Athens and beyond, is the 
transformation of our neighborhoods into shopping centers whose aesthetics (recreation of 
public spaces, commercialization and sterilization of green spaces) and operation will 
serve in the most appropriate way the needs of tourism. Within this treaty some and some 
are left over. Residents of the regions face eviction, huge rent increases and are forced 
to leave their neighborhoods. All invisible immigrants, drug addicts, Roma, homeless, 
poor, who have to be driven away from the touring showcase.

The occupation of Filolaou 99, as well as all the self-organized battlegrounds, are 
targeted because they are a ditch in the designs of the sovereigns. For this reason, and 
for all the reasons of the world, we stand in solidarity with the occupation of Philolaou 99.

Squats are self-organized struc- tures of struggle and part of wider social and class 
resistances, which today predict tomorrow

10,100,100 squats against a world of organized sepsis

Take our life in our hands

AGAINST THE 'GREEN' 'DEVELOPMENT AND INSTALLATION OF WIND PARKES IN GRAGA ---- On 12-13-14 
July we carried out antitrust, poster and slogans about the "green" development and the 
attempted installation of wind farms in Agrafa in a series of villages around Lake 
Plastira (Mesenikolas, Morfovouni-Kryoneri-Pezoula- 
Neochori-Nerida-Belokomytis-Moucha-Kastania). Also ascended to Templa Agrafa. These 
interventions are part of the overall effort of several fighters to highlight the 
devastating consequences of wind farm deployment and green growth in nature and local 
communities. ---- Against the conversion of "Sleeping Beauty" into a vast landscape of 
irons, against the destruction of the natural beauty, flora and fauna of Agrafa, against 
the transformation of nature into a huge industrial zone for profit and the appropriation 
of land by the major construction companies, there is the road of resistance and struggle. 
The struggle of local societies to defend the natural world from the wretched dispositions 
of the state and the bosses. A struggle that takes place in many places where the 
aggressiveness of sovereigns against nature and local societies is manifested and is aimed 
at putting a mound on the growth drive. A struggle that, in order to have a prospect, has 
to target, the real responsible for the destruction that is taking place.

THE "GREEN" DEVELOPMENT WILL DEMONSTRATES NATURE TO DETECT AND THE COUNTRIES DRAW

FROM ABRAPHA AND THE ACHELOY TO IPIRI AND HALKIDIKI

GAME FOR GREEN AND FREEDOM

THE GODS WILL WIN

For the creation of a revolutionary, platformist organization! ---- We're glad, that we 
are now able to publish our first text in English. Since the beginning of our initiative 
we made international contacts to other anarchist-communist organizations. We hope that we 
will be able to reach out even further internationally - to spread the good news of our 
new initiative - now that our text is accessible in English. ---- Since the beginning of 
the year, we have continued to develop and expand. Nevertheless, in many respects, steps 
still have to be taken in order to achieve our great goal of establishing a third 
anarchist federation in the German-speaking area in this year. International exchange is 
as exciting as important for us - especially the experiences of other platformist and 
especifist organizations are essential to make our approach a success.

For the international struggle against the rise of the rightwing and towards the social 
revolution!
