On the night of Wednesday March 2nd we attacked the French Institute in Athens with Molotov

With this a act we send a message of class solidarity to the persecuted
militants who fight against the terrorism of the French state. The
French Institute expresses the hypocrisy of the French Democracy, which
hides the viciousness of the capitalist dominance behind the unfulfilled
revolutionary slogan Freedom-Equality-Brotherhood.

In Calais, next to
the sea border of Britain and France, immigrants who get there with the
hope of going into Britain or evicted because of the evacuation of other
refugee camps, have set up a self-organized shantytown. The history of
the Jungle, as is the name of the favela of the persecuted, begins in
2002. Having been kicked out because of poverty or because of wars in
their lands, the persecution of immigrants continues inside the European
borders. Chased by border patrols, cops and fascists, and many having
already been through prisons and concentration camps, the new residents
of Calais take a part of their life back into their hands. Despite the
many attempts of the state in the years that have passed to destroy it,
this large community of immigrants resists and self-organizes life with
persistence in the some of the most adverse conditions of absolute
poverty and continuous oppression. In the Jungle there are
self-organized restaurants schools, playgrounds, arts such as a theatre,
mosques and churches, all operated by the residents themselves together
with solidarians.

The Jungle on one side reflects the viciousness of the regime which
traps the oppressed in urban ghettos and concentration camps, condemning
them to live indefinitely on the borderline. The imposing of complete
control is the answer of the dominants against those who counter-attack
those and attempt to self-organize. Whatever does not align based on
capitalist “development” is baptized as an offense and is oppressed. The
Gendarmerie and the police often make raids striking with chemical
weapons and torturing, destroying houses and common structures,
displacing and imprisoning immigrants. On the other, the Jungle states
the struggle of the oppressed for survival against the plans of state
dominance. Its existence and vigorous resistance to the evacuation
operations are a characteristic example of struggle against persecution
and incarceration.

Last month the French state announced a plan of evacuating the south
part of the Jungle where about 3000 immigrants, with the pretext of a
hygienic danger for the area. The state, in order to break the
resistance of the migrant residents, attempted initially to dress the
evacuation with humanitarian motives, saying that the people will be
transferred in shipping containers with heat, while those who do not fit
will be transferred to concentration camps and other spots in France,
not with violence but with “persuasion”. In the end the new attempt to
evacuate began this week and has the known face of state violence and
terrorism. Those who will be imprisoned in concentration camps will be
separated from the people with which they have built a community, will
be filed (photos, prints etc) and will descend into a totalitarian
regime of control, dependence and exploitation by the state.

The evacuation of the Jungle is clearly an attack on the
self-determination of the immigrants. It is thus an attempt to strike a
project of self-organization of the oppressed. The strategy of the French
state is a part of the common European “management of the refugee
crisis”, which either comes with an extreme-right wing resonance or with
a humanitarian pretext, aims at the control of the oppressed and the
creation of new reservoirs of miserable exploited human work force for
capital. The resistance to the attempted leveling of the Jungle is a
struggle against the worst conditions of class enslavement.

In the clashes in Calais the colonial tradition of France as well as its
imperialistic interventions, just like today in North Africa, the
inherent fascism of urban democracy and its hypocritical humanism is
revealed, we again remember Remi Fraisse who was murdered in October
2014, fighting for forest of Shiwen, from the same uniformed scum who
now attack the Jungle.
