Solidarity with occupations and self-organized structures - Fire in migrant concentration 
camps ---- To build embankments in state and capitalist barbarism ---- In a crescendo of 
police and demonstrations and mobilizing huge armed forces, the new right-wing state 
administration has invaded and evacuated many squatters, mainly migrant women (Spyrou 
Trikoupi 15-17, Oniro, 5th Sokol) racing centers (GARE, Rosa de Foc) in the Exarchia area 
and the center of Athens. Armed police officers led hundreds of migrant children and 
minors to the detention center in Petros Ralli and then to a concentration camp (what the 
state baptizes as hostels) in order to live socially isolated and dependent. exclusively 
from state mechanisms and institutionally recognized NGOs.Subsequently, the entrances of 
the buildings were built and permanent armed guards set up, further intensifying the 
climate of terrorism and police terrorism attempted to impose on the neighborhood of 
Exarchates and in the wider neighborhoods of downtown Athens. At the same time, in the 
area of Exarchia are marked by cops, who act as an army of occupation, a host of attacks, 
verbal challenges, the use of chemicals against occupied spaces and struggling people.

The choice of the state to place the Exarchate neighborhood as the primary repressive 
target is not accidental. Exarchia is an area that hosts an alliance of individuals and 
collectivities that resist state and capitalist barbarism and find sites of 
radicalization, companionship, and solidarity. Areas of struggle and self-organization, as 
are occupations, are embedded in catastrophic schemes and at the same time territorialized 
by the world of power. A world based on the exploitation and oppression of man by man, 
where everything is a commodity and the maximum value is the profits of the 
bosses.Occupations, therefore, have been and will continue to be the focus of repression 
as they challenge the existing and at the same time represent a world of equality, 
solidarity, justice and freedom. The attack aims to intimidate political entities and to 
stifle struggles, while at the same time normalizing bureaucracy in the center of the 
metropolis and asymmetric violence by the state.

Suppressive movements do not come as a thunder in the air. The "law and order" doctrine 
has been a central opposition line of the ruling party and has been systematically 
attempted to present itself as the most important political stalemate in order to divert 
itself from the fact that both the right and the left (the whole bourgeois political 
spectrum) agree on substantive politics line applied in the last decade. In fact, the 
social majority has nothing to promise more than labor exploitation, exclusion, poverty 
and oppression.The treaty of poverty, the intensity of oppression and exploitation, the 
plundering of public wealth, the destruction of the environment in the name of "growth" 
implemented in previous years, through the Memorandums, are permanently consolidated, and 
both poles of the restored bipartisan struggle for the method of enforcement. With its 
traditional characteristics of open authoritarianism, violence, racism and police 
democracy, right-wing management is addressing its conservative electoral base, where most 
fascists are repatriated electively. At the same time, all racists, fascists and sexists 
from the ranks of the Bacharasi are closing their eyes, deliberately arming their 
murderous instincts.

These attacks are no coincidence that they are targeting the most undervalued and 
depressed part of society, the immigrant women.From the first moment of taking power, 
measures were taken that made clear the choice to continue isolation, illegalization and 
repression of immigrants. The management of the "migrant" passed to the Minister of Public 
Order. The Minister of Labor, Broutsis, has removed the possibility of obtaining AMKA for 
asylum seekers and unaccompanied refugees, excluding them from basic health services and 
livelihoods. The second phase of asylum applications was scrutinized, it was decided to 
step up police checks on migrant-driven streets and squares, as well as to upgrade 
technical surveillance tools and strengthen cooperation with FRONTEX and NATO to close 
down maritime borders, boats cannot be crossed with immigrants or even submerged.All state 
planning aims to prevent immigration by any means. However, this is not possible due to 
the ongoing war and economic operations of the sovereigns and the conversion of the 
immigrant populations into "negotiating paper" in the Turkish state's competition with the 
Greek and the EU. the impoverishment and complete control of the lives of immigrant women. 
For this reason, concentration camps, which are managed by the police and the army, have 
been and continue to be built.From Moria to Skaramaga and from Petros Ralli to Corinth, 
thousands of immigrants are forcibly stacked up in isolated places, in miserable 
conditions, in containers with three times as many people without the necessary medical 
care.The concentration camps are the continuation of the war in Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, 
Libya and around the world, where powerful capitalist states with their allies wage war 
operations and economic interventions to plunder natural wealth, exploitation of human 
societies and world hegemony. It is a continuation of the slaves, the mines, the barbed 
wire, the fence of the Evros, the Frontex, the border guards. It is the continuation of 
pogroms, racist politics, fascist attacks, social cannibalism. The state therefore seeks 
to ensure its grim exclusivity to the fate of the afflicted.

For us, however, there is no choice between a more "human" concentration camp, but only 
the requirement to close the death camps and free the migrants from the confinement and 
isolation regime. We can't ignore it, not see reality and then say "I didn't know what was 
happening behind the barbed wire". Migrant concentration camps are a reality and 
immigrants in them are right to revolt and seek their destruction. Moria is not the only 
camp in Lesvos, but it deserves to claim the title of the most infernal hell.That is why 
we must stand by today's concentration camps, because this is the gloomy destiny of the 
European states for the afflicted and the poor of this world.

An obstacle to these plans is the occupation of immigrants and immigrant women and the 
self-organized struggle structures found not only in Exarchia but also in every corner of 
Greece. Contrary to what journalistic parrots present, immigrants living in liberated 
buildings live in conditions of dignity and freedom. They live in occupations by 
participating in collective processes of managing the space, developing contacts and 
relationships with the "local" population, thereby disrupting their perceptions of 
xenophobia and racism.Because the common ground occupied by locals and immigrants in the 
occupied territories creates the necessary condition to communicate the needs and jointly 
locals and immigrants to fight, through self-organized, anti-institutional, anti-artistic 
processes radical direction. To fight together against our real enemies, who are no more 
than the state and the capital. To create communities of struggle against all segregation 
on the basis of gender, religious, racial, national, and to strive for a world of 
equality, solidarity, justice and freedom.

The concentration camps are not a picture of the future or the past. It is the management 
reserved by the state for every oppressed and exploited person who does not need or 
consider it undesirable.

Common struggles of locals and immigrants against poverty, fascism, war, oppression and 
exploitation.
