On 30/3, anarchists squat the Deanship of the University (National Kapodistrian University of Athens) and an open hearth of counter-information about the hunger strike we, political prisoners, are on (right now, 11 of the hunger strikers are hospitalized in critical condition, guarded in hospitals).
The squat of a public building and its re-definition as a hearth of counter-information, is a gesture of liberation within the gray everyday life of the city. It is an act of rebellion that breaks the carved silence of the crowd, sabotages the organized hours of boredom, interrupts the scheduled timetables and takes place as an authentic freedom outburst, against the calendar of normality in which we have trapped our lives, counting our days as numbers, with the monotonous way of accountants.
In the opposite direction, the state apparatus has to correct the “mistake”, the “accident”, before it spreads and sabotages the habit they taught us calling “regular life”. Democracy rehearses its uniformed freedom and gets its army in the streets. From the first moments of the Deanship squat, the territory was surrounded and blocked by MAT squads, while arrests (three) took place. Obviously, the khaki(1) and batons of suppression are the extension of the hypocrisy of the left-sensitive rhetoric. The progressive promise for the withdrawal of the repressive machine of MAT, got lost on the road, amongst philological tea parties of professors and academic circles, and the Ministry of Public Order. This is better, so as the fog of illusions is soon cleared up.
The squat of the Deanship is an enemy of democracy. The squat of the Deanship is the enemy of all those squatting our daily life with their laws, their taxes and their banks, squatting our freedom with their prisons, courts and police, squatting our consciousness with their rules, their professors and their education, squatting the truth with their TV, their propaganda and their journalists, squatting our aesthetics through their commercials, their “must” and their civilization, squatting our lives with the slow death of survival… Because habit and conventions always shoot in the back.
So, yes, we are enemies of democracy and we are at war.

Greece: Update on the hunger strike of the comrades of CCF
Today in the morning around 6 a.m., the hunger striker Mihalis Nikolopoulos almost suffered a heart attack as his heart rate was 25 beats per minute and his blood pressure 8/2,5. One and a half dose of injectable atropine was administered to him as a single dose wasn’t enough. His state of health is currently somewhat more stable (40beats per minute) but the risk of a cardiac arrest is imminent and can happen anytime.
Also the council of appeals decided today to release the mother of comrades Christos and Gerasimos Tsakalos on bail.
According to the latest information, all comrades of CCF continue the hunger strike until the wife of Gerasimos is also released.
