Sent to us via email – solidarity with the Squatted Community of Prosfygika!

Support and participate in the defense of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika in Athens and the self-organized restoration of the neighborhood

In the heart of Athens, the  Community of Squatted Prosfygika has hosted, sheltered, fed, and supported thousands of people over the past 15 years. It is one of the largest self-organized and liberated neighborhoods in Europe.

The Community is becoming stronger, but so is the repression. Currently, Prosfygika is under threat of attack and eviction. Over the past decade, this is the fiths time that the state and the region have attempted to evict and loot Prosfygika. This time, the threat seems the most serious and is about to be executed immediately.

Over the past year, the community has already publicly announced that it will proceed with the restoration and renovation of the historical buildings, funded and organized autonomously. This project is being carried out with the participation and support of architects, civil engineers, and other technical specialists.

Every restored façade, every repaired window, and every balcony contributes to the defense and future of the entire community, and thus also to the communal way of life it offers.

Therefore, our comrade Aristotelis Chantzis decided on february 5 2026 to go in to a hunger strike until death for the defense of life. His demands are

1) The immediate cancellation of the contract by the region of attica
2) All resdients of Prosfygika to remain in their homes, in the place and area where they live and have established social, cultural and organical ties
3) concrete guarantees to be given for the restoration of Prosfygika by the non-profit civil law company “katoikoi kai filoi prosfygikon L. Alexandras non profit civil law company” with its own self-financing! – No public funds for the “redevelopment” of Prosfygika !

On the first of may, another comrade will beginn its hungerstrike until death.

We call on all internationalists and defenders of life to support and participate in the defense of the community, whether by coming to Athens, participating in our internationalist campaign #saveprosfygika or with other forms of actions.

We ask everyone to help us with this call for donation to put the plan of social self defense into practice !

Our answer to repression is creation

Either we will win or we will win
