FREEDOM FOR CLAUDIO LAVAZZA!

From anarquia.info

From January 7, 2022 we call for solidarity with the anarchist comrade Claudio Lavazza. Kidnapped first by the Spanish state and then by the French state, he has already spent 25 years in prison and although he should have been free since last December 11, the prosecutor of Mont de Marsan who follows his case, emissary of the state’s revenge, continues to keep him behind bars.

Some people decide to stay inside

Alberto Frisetti – Albo to his friends – refuses to get out of jail on bail, or rather by paying a ransom of 45,000 euros to the Spanish State, in line with the common declaration made by the 27th February Prisoners following Jeanne’s release: “Either all or none”. Albo refuses this compromise despite the generosity of his father who would have paid the disproportionate amount of ransom.

10 years of neighbourhood anarchism: The FAGC

From autonomies.org

We translated and published our first post dedicated to the Federación Anarquista Gran Canaria in May of 2013. We have since tried modestly and from a distance to follow the remarkable activity of those who have made the Federación and its anarchism a living reality, and this in ways that are today uncommon.

Spain: Elisa di Bernardo – “We are winning battles for the freedom of Gabriel Pombo”

Spain 1936, Ethiopia 2021: the fight against fascism continues…

September 19, 2021
http://cnt-ait.info/2021/09/19/spain-1936-ethiopia-2021/

Eighty years ago, at the concentration camp Vernet d’Ariège (France), Tecle HAGOS died. The plaque on his grave reads « August 19, 1941, Ethiopian ». Not much is known about his life, except that he was probably part of a group of a dozen students from the Horn of Africa who had traveled to Spain in summer 1936. The announcement of a Revolution, made by workers and peasants, ordinary people which had triumphed over Fascism on July 19, 1936, gave them some hope, they who had seen this same Fascism seize their land in Africa few months before.

Actions Against Energy Companies

from Anarquía

BARCELONA – MADRID, SPAIN: ACTIONS AGAINST ENERGY COMPANIES AS PART OF THE WEEK OF AGITATION AGAINST THE DEVASTATION AND THE RISE OF ELECTRICITY .

Energy companies represent the infrastructure and monopoly of capital in its maximum extension, both in its operation and exploitation (human, animal and land), as a device of social control, in addition to pollution at all levels. On the other hand, the situation of dispossession and devastation of ecosystems and communities that have made these industries in ABYA YALA (Latin America) are catastrophic, so we consider it urgent to attack them, make them visible, and destroy them.

The anarchists in Alicante

writing about specific places is always an intriguing read

From Freedom News UK

Because of its geographical position by the Mediterranean and as a border town, people from Alicante have always been restless and turbulent. Without a doubt, this condition fostered the early appearance of socialism in our land, mostly in the cities of Alcoy and Alicante. It could even be said that one of the doors of entry in Spain was Alicante, as the first Luddite demonstrations were in textile factories in Alcoy in 1821, repressed by the army. On the other hand, one of the first utopian socialist experiments is found in Alicante, involving the Scottish philanthropist William Maclure, who started several farm schools in the province between 1820 and 1824, influenced by Robert Owen or Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi.

Gabriel Pombo remains kidnapped in prison after serving 33 years, even though his sentence expired for more than 6 years ago, according to the rules of a fallacious and criminal “rule of law”. After 3 and a half years of freedom, he has been illegally detained again and since the end of last June, Gabriel has been imprisoned in the Mansilla de la Mulas prison (León).
