athensstabo

Several banners were placed in central areas of Athens ahead of the anarchist gathering to be held on Thursday evening, June 11th, at Voutie Park in the Athens neighbourhood of Ano Petralona. With slogans in different languages, reference was made to the struggles against the construction of the TAV Lyon-Turin high-speed rail project, in the Susa Valley and the village of Chiomonte, and against the installation of the MUOS military telecommunications system on Sicily; in defense of the Hambach Forest in Germany, threatened by devastation caused by lignite mining (during the gathering of June 11th, comrades will provide updates on this fight); and in solidarity with long-term ecoanarchist prisoner Marco Camenisch, whose request for conditional release was once again rejected by the Swiss authorities, and with Marius Jacob Mason, trans anarchist prisoner in the US.

Germany: Giant Coal Excavator Occupied

145315

(The occupation is ongoing)
Last night at 1 am, four activists occupied a large bucket wheel excavator in the Inden opencast mine. They climbed to the top of the excavator about 70m high. The machine halted is one of the largest machines in the world that normally destroys 24/7, literally churning the landscape. In Inden lignite is promoted for Rhenish mining area above ground, that is: Everything is about being in the way and will be destroyed; who lives about is expropriated and expelled.  Where villages, fields, meadows and woods once stood inconceivably huge holes appear in the landscape, an industrial wasteland to the horizon. Of all of the energy sources, lignite, is ridiculously inefficient, releasing huge loads of CO2 and particulate emissions, and the conversion of power supply to renewables sabotaged with inflexible “baseload plants”.

Demo: Der Hambacher Forst braucht dich!

Am 21. Mai findet im Aachener Verwaltungsgericht der Prozess statt, in dem entschieden werden soll, ob das Bauamt des Kreises Düren das Recht zur sofortigen Zwangsräumung der besetzten Wiese am Hambacher Forst hat. Seit drei Jahren kämpfen dort Umweltaktivist*innen gegen die Erweiterung des Tagebaus Hambach in der Nähe von Köln. Durch vielfältige Protestformen versuchen sie die tödliche Braunkohleverstromung zu stoppen, die schon jetzt zu erheblichen Schäden für Tiere, Menschen und der Umwelt geführt hat. Die Interessen von Großkonzernen, wie RWE, werden über alles andere gestellt und die Folgen ignoriert, verheimlicht oder heruntergespielt.
Das muss ein Ende haben!
