A-Infos (en) Greece. APO, Land & freedom: Greek state & Europe-Fortress are the only ones responsible for the mass murder of hundreds of refugees/immigrants in the Pylos shipwreck (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

On May 21, 2024, the trial of the 9 Egyptian survivors of the Pylos 
shipwreck has been set at the Three-Member Criminal Appeal Court of 
Kalamata. The 9 survivors were arrested less than twenty-four hours 
after the fatal shipwreck in Pylos in June 2023, accused of being 
members of a criminal organization of traffickers and responsible for 
causing the shipwreck. More specifically, on June 14, 2023, a fishing 
boat carrying more than 700 refugees and migrants with the intention of 
crossing from Libya to Italy sank off Pylos. 104 survived the wreck 
while 80 were recovered dead. The huge number of missing people in 
combination with the dead migrants reveals the extent of the criminal 
management of the incident by the Greek state, given that the Greek 
authorities had been notified several hours before of the danger in 
which the passengers of the boat and also of the the fact that the 
testimonies of refugees and immigrants who survived the shipwreck state 
that the coast guard tried to tow the boat to remove it from the 
territorial rescue jurisdiction of the Greek state, as a result of which 
it sank and the majority of the passengers did not have time to get out 
of the lower levels of the vessel, such as many mothers with their 
children. Despite all the testimony, the state will arrest 9 of the 
survivors and detain them on a flimsy indictment based on insufficient 
evidence. The testimonies of the survivors, who blame the shipwreck on 
the port authorities, will never be included in the case file. The 
circumstances under which the Coast Guard took the statements of the 9 
survivors will be contested by their lawyers. Communications, official 
and unofficial, between services, governor and operations chamber will 
not be recorded in the case file and will essentially disappear. The 
mobile telephone devices of the rescued were detached by the Coast Guard 
and "found" a month and a half later, "forgotten" on the ship 
responsible for the towing and the wreck and were then handed over to 
the Port Authority of Kythira. Also, the pre-investigative examination 
for the wreck will last only two days and the case file will be 
submitted to the investigator, who will reject all the requests of the 
defense lawyers of the 9 survivors to add evidence to the case file. It 
is clear that the state is attempting both to shift its own criminal 
responsibilities for the deadly Pylos shipwreck onto the survivors 
themselves and to cover up its murderous action by finding culprits 
among the downtrodden and the outcasts.
The anti-immigrant and murderous policy of the Greek state and 
Europe-fortress is not separated from the murder of the immigrants off 
the coast of Pylos. From the signing of the agreement on the extension 
of the fence to the Evros by 35 km, in order to further "upgrade" the 
armoring of the external borders of Greece and by extension also of 
Europe, the illegal pushbacks into the Aegean and the daily drowning of 
people, the concentration camps of refugees and immigrants, where people 
are piled up and imprisoned in miserable conditions without any freedom 
until the police pogroms against them in the cities, the refugees and 
immigrants are confronted with the criminal policy of the Greek state, 
which aims to prevent entry into the country, taking of course the 
choice of killing people who seek a better future than that of war, 
poverty and unfreedom. A condition in which thousands are displaced, due 
to the wars waged by the planetary bosses in their countries, for the 
exploitation of natural resources and the expansion of their sphere of 
influence. After all, the condemnation of millions of people to 
destitution, poverty, disease and uprooting is the condition for 
ensuring the over-accumulation of wealth in the hands of the global 
financial elites.
The exploited and the oppressed continue to pay with their blood for the 
maintenance and reproduction of the barbaric exploitative oppressive 
system that oppresses, murders and impoverishes. This is demonstrated by 
the dozens of murders of workers in the factories of modern slavery. 
This is amply proven by the thousands of dead due to the criminal 
management of the pandemic, the dozens of victims of state capitalist 
crime in Tempe, the murdered Roma by the uniformed bastards of ELAS, the 
murders of immigrants and refugees at the water and land borders of 
Fortress Europe.

Because the perpetuation of the power and profits of the economic and 
political bosses goes through the sharpening of the exploitation of the 
poor and the plebeians, the plundering of our lives and the silencing 
and repression of all who refuse to accept this barbarism as the only 
perspective. The brutality where refugees and immigrants will either 
drown by the hundreds or be imprisoned in modern concentration camps or 
be chased by cops and fascists in the cities, impoverished and excluded 
from decent living conditions. The brutality where dozens of people will 
be murdered on trains due to the state's murderous policies with the 
complete lack of control and maintenance of networks and communication 
between trains, or they will die on trolleys or in their homes waiting 
for hours for an ambulance to go to a hospital . The brutality where 
dozens of workers will never return from their daily wages because their 
lives are measured by the bosses and in their calculations it costs less 
than the maintenance of a scaffolding. In the world of the state and the 
bosses we are all strangers.
Against the bankrupt world of state and capital, against the war that 
the rulers have declared on the oppressed of this land, as anarchists, 
we fight with our weapons for class and international solidarity between 
the peoples, putting forward the organization of the counterattack of 
the exploited classes for the overthrowing the world of capitalism and 
the state. Together with the locals, immigrants and refugees to fight 
collectively and from below against poverty, impoverishment, oppression 
and subjugation, to strengthen and guard the social and class 
resistances that are the target of repression and to organize new . 
Against fascism, intolerance, war, repression and exploitation, the 
Cause of global Social Revolution, of building a new society of 
equality, solidarity and freedom on the ruins of the world of power... 
is always alive!
