GREEK STATE AND FORTRESS EUROPE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF HUNDREDS OF REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS IN THE SHIPWRECK OF PYLOS - DEMONSTRATION: -- Thessaloniki: Sunday 14 June, Agios Venizelos, 19.00 --- On June 14, 2023, a fishing boat carrying more than 700 refugees and migrants attempting to cross from Libya to Italy sank off the coast of Pylos. 104 survived the sinking while 80 were recovered dead. The huge number of missing persons combined with the dead migrants reveals the extent of the criminal management of the incident by the Greek state, given that the Greek authorities had been notified several hours in advance of the danger in which the boat's occupants were, but also from the fact that testimonies of refugees and migrants who survived the shipwreck indicate that the coast guard attempted to tow the boat to remove it from the territorial rescue jurisdiction of the Greek state, resulting in it sinking and the majority of those on board not having time to get out of the lower levels of the boat, such as many mothers with their children. Despite all the testimonies, the state will arrest 9 of the survivors and remand them in custody with a flimsy indictment, based on incomplete evidence. The testimonies of the survivors, who attribute responsibility for the shipwreck to the port authorities, will never be included in the case file. The circumstances under which the port authority took the statements of the 9 survivors will be questioned by their lawyers. The communications, official and unofficial, between the services, the governor and the operations room will not be recorded in the case file and will essentially disappear. Despite the state's efforts, however, to shift its own responsibilities for the Pylos shipwreck with many deaths to the people on board and to cover up its murderous actions, finding culprits among the persecuted and the outcasts, the 9 survivors and accused immigrants will be acquitted in May 2024.
The overall anti-immigrant and murderous policy of the Greek state and fortress Europe is not only not disconnected from the murder of hundreds of immigrants off the coast of Pylos, but on the contrary, this mass crime represents in the most tragic way the essence of state deterrence policies through exemplary punishment, in death, for those who attempt to seek a life with dignity, as well as for the terrorization of all those who will find themselves uprooted or expelled from their homes tomorrow. From the further hardening of the immigration framework, with the increase in the time of administrative detention, the imposition of exorbitant fines, electronic surveillance, prison sentences and the continuous restriction of the possibilities of legalization and access to rights for refugees and immigrants, from the signing of the agreement to extend the fence in Evros by 35km, in order to further "upgrade" the armoring of the external borders of Greece and by extension of Europe, to the illegal pushbacks in the Aegean and the daily drownings of people, to the concentration camps for refugees and immigrants, where people are piled up and imprisoned in miserable conditions without any freedom, to the police pogroms against them in the cities, refugees and immigrants are confronted with the criminal policy of the Greek state, which aims to prevent entry into the country, naturally taking the option of murder. people seeking a better future than that of war, poverty and lack of freedom.Today we find ourselves in a period where states and transnational mechanisms are turning on the war machines, launching military operations and shaping warring societies both to expand their sphere of influence and to continue the plunder of the state and capitalist machine. A condition in which the only real losers are the people themselves, who are faced with the carnage of war and the consequences of war, impoverishment, poverty, uprooting and death. Almost two and a half years after the start of the last phase of the Israeli attack on Gaza, the Palestinian people are still faced with massive bombings, displacements, destruction of social infrastructure, exclusion and conditions of generalized humanitarian disaster. The continuation of the massacre, the starvation of hundreds of thousands of people, and the transformation of entire regions into ruins capture in the most brutal way the barbarity of modern warfare and colonial occupation.
The condemnation of millions of people to destitution, poverty, disease and uprooting is the prerequisite for ensuring the over-accumulation of wealth in the hands of global economic elites and for the rearrangement of geopolitical power relations in the context of transnational antagonisms, between global, regional and local powers. The murderous anti-immigrant "deterrence" policies and the construction of Fortress Europe are reflected in the thousands of dead refugees and migrants at land and water borders, in those trapped and piled up in miserable conditions in modern concentration camps, in those imprisoned under a special racist regime of exception, in those murdered in police stations and blockades, like Mohamed Kamran Asik in AT Ag. Panteleimonas and Mia Harizoul at the Omonia Square in the fall of 2024. The "walls" that are being erected are not only used to keep the outcasts, the "surplus populations" out of Europe by any means, but also to lead Western societies to entrench fascism within them, to create a social condition of fear, control and hatred with the aim of tacitly accepting their savage exploitation by the rulers.
The exploited and the oppressed continue to pay with their blood for the maintenance and reproduction of the barbaric exploitative oppressive system that oppresses, murders and impoverishes. This is demonstrated by the dozens of murders of workers in the prisons of modern slavery. This is demonstrated by the constant increase in dead and disabled workers in the workplace, a result of intensification, employer irresponsibility and the devaluation of human life in the face of profitability. This is demonstrated by the employer's murder of Violanta and the countless cases of workers who never return from their daily wages, because for the state and bosses, human life costs less than protection and security measures. This is amply demonstrated by the thousands of deaths due to the criminal management of the pandemic, the dozens of victims of state capitalist crime in Tempi, the murdered Roma by the uniformed bastards of the ELAS, the murders of immigrants and refugees at the water and land borders of Europe Fortress.
Because the perpetuation of the power and profits of the economic and political bosses goes through the intensification of the exploitation of the poor and the plebeians, the plundering of our lives and the silencing and repression of all those who refuse to accept this barbarity as the only perspective. The barbarity where refugees and immigrants will either drown by the hundreds or be imprisoned in modern concentration camps or will be hunted by cops and fascists in the cities, impoverished and excluded from decent living conditions. The barbarity where dozens of people will be murdered on trains due to the state's murderous policies with the complete lack of control and maintenance of the networks and communication between trains, or they will die on carriages or in their homes waiting for hours for an ambulance to take them to the hospital.
In a period of war escalation, state armoring, generalized impoverishment and attack on the social body, the organization of struggles from below, class solidarity and the internationalism of the oppressed remain more necessary than ever in the face of the barbarity of the state, capital, war, fascism and modern totalitarianism.
In the world of the state and the bosses, we are all strangers.
Against the bankrupt world of the state and capital, against the war that the rulers have declared on the oppressed of this earth, as anarchists, we fight with our weapons for class and internationalist solidarity between peoples, proposing the organization of the counterattack of the exploited classes for the overthrow of the world of capitalism and the state. Together with the locals, immigrants and refugees, let us fight collectively and from below against poverty, impoverishment, oppression and subjugation, let us strengthen and protect the social and class resistances that are the target of repression and organize new ones. Against fascism, intolerance, war, repression and exploitation, the Cause of the global Social Revolution, of building a new society of equality, solidarity and freedom on the ruins of the world of power... is always alive!
