A-Infos (en) Poland, Solidarity Pickets in Warsaw

On December 9 Warsaw anarchists organized solidarity pickets at the Greek and 
the French embassies. The first took place in front of the Greek Embassy. The 
protestors held pictures of Alexandros-Andreas Grigoropoulos, killed by police a 
few days ago. The anarchists, besides condemning the murder also expressed their 
support for protestors in Greece, for the planned general strike and the stuggle 
against capitalism and neoliberal reforms in Greece. The chanted different 
slogans such as "Murderers", "That's what your "democracy" is like", "Solidarity 
is our Weapon", "Bourgeoisie your end is near" and "No justice, no peace". 
Embassy employees refused to speak to the protestors.

After some time, the protest moved up the block to the French Embassy. Passing 
the Parliament, just next to the Embassy, a siren was sounded and anarchists 
yelled "Watch out! Anarchists are coming!". At the French Embassy the protestors 
expressed their solidarity for the Tarnac 9. They also criticized the politics 
of Sarkozy.

At this time, the police tried to put an end to the protests but part of the 
people regrouped and went back to the Greek Embassy, part of them going through 
the terrain of the parliament. The police decided that the group, now down to 
just a little over a dozen people were some "potential terrorist threat" to the 
Embassy, which prompted some laughs. A few people spontaneously decided to TP 
the Embassy. The anarchists promised to come back in the next few days in a 
bigger group and protest again.
