Athens: Responsibility claim for arson attack on pawn shop

On Saturday, January 21st, we placed an incendiary device at a pawn shop (loan shark) in Ragavi street in the area of Gyzi. It was a symbolic response to the expansion of the modern mavragorites (black marketeers) in the neighbourhoods of Athens, who are taking advantage of the current generalized poverty, and attempt to plunder our fellow people that strive to survive.

The emergence of black marketeers resulted from the same attack which imposes people’s impoverishment; it is another aspect of the onslaught of State and Capital under an even more intensified sucking-the-blood out of social wealth.

Let’s weigh social solidarity and the social and class violence against all gangs of loan sharks, to stand up against the fierce operation aiming at the wretchedness of our lives.
