Summit of the 25 E.U. criminals, and Chalkidiki as much as Thessaloniki are infested by thousands of cops who guard Europe's political bosses and proceed to the military occupation of the city.

The time before the summit starts, the state propaganda, reproduced by the media, is intensified with several scenarios for the upcoming devastation and with slanders against anarchists in order to extract from before the social consent for the police repression during the mobilizations, in order to isolate the most radical part of demonstrators and cultivate a feeling of fear to the local people so that they won't participate in the demonstrations. At the same time, they emphasize on the large numbers of cops and on the police plans for confronting immediately any move that would surpass the limits of a peaceful march. All the days before, police makes controls in the streets and ID controls in police stations.

Inside the university campus, during the week of the summit, anarchist collectives and comrades make discussions, open assemblies, film shows, exhibition of posters and publications, to promote the struggle against globalization of domination. A self-organized kitchen, medical and legal groups were also settled inside. Aiming to break down the terrorist atmosphere created by state propaganda, there were initiatives from inside the university to make counter-information actions in the city, with posters and flyers against the bosses' summit. All these activities created a ground for encounter and communication between comrades from many greek cities and from abroad who met in the place.

While the 25 leaders are preparing to ratify decisions for the consolidation of Fortress-Europe, the development of the "anti"terrorist campaign, the capitalist looting of territories in the western peripheries and the murderous confrontation of immigrants, in Thessaloniki 4000 anarchists and anti-authoritarians make a demonstration in solidarity with the immigrants, passing from poor neighborhoods and the city center on June 19. This demonstration was very dynamic, with people shouting slogans and distributing flyers.

On the 20th of June, when the summit starts, a number of international anarchists and anti-authoritarians make solidarity concentration at the greek-macedonian borders, where 700 Romas from Kosovo live under miserable conditions, guarded by border cops in a camp which is placed on the macedonian frontier, as the greek state doesn't allow them to get in the country. Another group of demonstrators attempts to attack the red zone in Chalkidiki. The police blockades stop them far from Porto Caras hotel where the summit is taking place and cops charge them with a rain of tear gas, other chemicals and plastic bullets.

Saturday, June 21. Thessaloniki is completely occupied by police. Banks and big stores are embattled days ago and the city center looks "sterilized". Stalinist and reformist parties and organizations delay the beginning of their marches and search for alternative routes so as to avoid any contact with the black bloc. They want to isolate it from the rest of the demo, in order to facilitate the work of the police and not risk the pacifist character of the march, giving this way guarantees of legality to the state.

The black bloc, numbering 2500 persons begins from the university campus and marches towards the city center. Wild clashes with the police and attacks against state and capitalist targets break out. The bloc is "bombarded" with tear-gas and other chemicals, plastic bullets are used also, demonstrators get arrested and beaten by riot police (MAT).

The state's reply to the confrontations taking place in the streets of Thessaloniki unveils the democratic mask of the modern dictatorship. Many demonstrators reach the university, where already a number of people have retreated, and the clashes with the police continue until the campus is surrounded by dozens of riot police squads.

The arrested were taken to 'concentration camps' created especially for that purpose in Thermi and Diavata and there they suffered humiliations and tortures (beaten and deprived of water) by all kinds of repression forces. As a result of the violence and pressure exercised upon them, many of the arrested were forced to sign fabricated confessions. Finally, 29 of them were indicted for various charges. Riot police attacked a solidarity concentration by anarchists and anti-authoritarians outside the courthouse the next day, injuring comrades who were taken to hospital. 22 out of the 29 people facing charges were released on bail or parole and 7 are imprisoned until trial. The state terrorism climate in Thessaloniki continues for the next days, with ID controls in the streets and beatings, while two more comrades arrested were convicted by the court and got released until the appeal trial.

Cooperating excellently with the police, the Media attempt a complete distortion of the events in Thessaloniki, aiming to de-politicize them and the people who took action and to criminalize social resistance, while suppressing the reason for the confrontations: the provocative summit of the 25 European bosses.

The fascist nature of the state, in a period where the greek version of the "antiterrorist crusade" is unfolded, was overtly revealed in Thessaloniki: repression, tortures, arrests, imprisonment. But the clashes with the paid state-murderers and the attacks against banks and multinationals were actions of resistance to the plans of the bosses of Europe, to the world of order, submission and death. It was a moment of the militant resistance expressed in Seattle, Prague, Genoa, Barcelona, Evian. Against all illusions for Capitalism's humanization, against any conciliation with the bosses and any mediation, the actions in Thessaloniki were, as much as possible, an answer to the state watchdogs, to local and international bosses and a message of solidarity for all people fighting wherever in the world. Solidarity with those who are now hostages of the state is part of that same struggle against the state and the borders, the struggle for a free society.
