Interview with a Comrade from Greece
Annotations by the interviewers are written in cursive.
Can you tell us who you are and from which political group you’re from?
Hello! I’m K from Greece and my personal involvement in let’s say radical anarchist political circles is actually pretty recent. My other big experience, apart from being a regular part of the open assembly this year, has been my participation in a more queer anarchist assembly last year which ended in a kind of abrupt resolution. I’ve had a lot of political ideas and negotiations in my head for years now, but my practical involvement has been recent with the open assembly starting September. So my personal involvement with all of this has pretty much coincided with the change of government in Greece, which has brought a lot of change in repression tactics and in other things. I just want to clarify that the opinions i present, are filtered through my own prism and my own ideas, I am not transferring my assemblies line. It’s an open assembly and it started because of the evictions of a lot of squads by the new government, although the evictions started with the previous left wing government. The Assembly is an open one, so there’s a shifting dynamic and not so much of a hardcore line.
