Berlin. Soon it will be a years time since the state and its lackeys attempted a large-scale attack, an eviction attempt on our house, the Rigaer 94. The excuse of “Fire Security” served politics as a legitimization to set the neighborhood into an authoritarian state of emergency by erecting a so-called “red zone”, to make an unimpeded entrance of the house possible.

Berlin. On the morning of the 09.03.2022 cops raided an apartment in Reichenberger Str. in Kreuzberg as part of an ongoing investigation. They had a search warrant for the residence of a comrade who is accused of participating in violent acts against cops in front of our house on June 16, 2021, which was actually the fight against the eviction under the pretext of fire-security. The charge is „very serious case of breach of the peace“ („besonders schwerer Fall des Landfriedensbruchs“). This investigation and warrant is claimed to be based on video identifications by 2 cops from the LKA 641 (PMS). The cops had a warrant to search particularly for clothes, yellow gloves and electronic storage and communication devices. It seems to be the standard to always confoscate electronic devicesno matter the context, so remember to always encrypt all your media and don’t keep anything unneeded around. https://de.indymedia.org/node/179053 [link is dead right now, copy on kontrapolis here].

Berlin. On 31/12/2021 Biologico squat, a self-organised space for 34 years in the university campus of Thessaloniki, Greece got evicted. As a part of the self-organized, anti-commercial and anti-authoritarian struggle Biologico functioned as a reference point for various fights during the years. In order to defend and support the space and to organize actions, an open assembly was formed. This resulted in a new occupation in the first day of the action week (10.01) and its eviction two days later, with 15 people getting arrested and a greek-wide demonstration with 23 arrests, one of which facing high degree charges.

On Thursday the 18th of November members of the Biologica squat came across some changes in the internal part of the building where the squat intervenes for 35 years. They found a newly constructed wall in the place where toilets used to be, forbidding access to the people, as well as some “X” signs on the walls making clear the possible destruction of the squat. The members found in a state’s online platform, the university’s plans of reconstructing the Biology department during the next 16 months formally signed οn the 16th of September with the squat turning into a waiting room.

Berlin. For many years now there’s the decision of open structures and individuals in solidarity with them, to come together after events such as unexpected evictions, raids and other state assaults. The meeting-point for this is New Yorck in Bethanien at 7 pm on the closest upcoming evening. The reason for this meeting is to share information in a direct and open way and to decide about the next steps.

Berlin. The Berlin cops, today, 06.10.2021 at 7am, wearing their dirty trash-bag uniforms and carrying shields full of color from the resistance on 17th of July and armed, raided our political structure and living space, Rigaer94. Once again, as everyday, the servants of the state fulfill their commands and obey to the capital. The state guarantees the order of the capitalist system, so to squeeze even more profit from people and their living spaces, gain power over every life, destroy any political idea that fights against them and oppress any individual who does not fit to their plans in this capitalistic, patriarchal and racist society. It is clear that the Berlin cops still work with Lafone Investments Ltd. and are their mercenaries, who execute orders of the plan to get rid of Rigaer94 and so to force the gentrification process of Nordkiez, Friedrichshain – after they lost their last attack on us in June this year.

Berlin. Rigaer 94. While gentrification plans are growing in a rapid pace, the state’s contribution to the profit of this capitalist society becomes even more visible. Repressive strategies and security architecture planning are applied and developed in our streets and neighborhoods. Strategies and plans which consist of “danger” and “red” zones, special voluntarily police units and regular patrols, all are based on a broader repressive strategy from state and capital who try to overthrow marginalized and specific political groups and communities of people.

Berlin. Almost a month ago our movement* decided to overcome defensive strategies and strengthen our offensiveness. As a result of prolonged discussions, and it should be noted that these discussions only lead to results with sustained organizing, structures began to implement a new strategy against evictions and focussed on the destruction of the “red zone” and established their own zone in the Nordkiez. A zone, based this time on self-organization and solidarity. They managed to “deconstruct” the passifying “red-zone” and created collective moments and experiences.
