Greece: direct action against repressive governor

A group of people self described as "Solidarians" attacked on Saturday the luxury resort of the Governor of Epirus in retaliation for the eviction of squats, damaging elements of the property and the cars of his posh guests. 

In their own words:
Yesterday night, 30/8, we visited uninvited the private resort that the family of Epirus regional governor, Alekos Kachrimanis, maintains at the city of Ioannina. There occurred a feast for the celebration of his name day. We couldn’t have missed the chance to be there to wish happy name day to him warmly! The specific guy, along with other local rulers and the administrator of the Chatzikosta general hospital, Fotis Vavvas, had participated last April at a conference on the topic of finding a definite solution for putting an end to the months-long occupation of premises at the former Chatzikosta hospital. We hold the aforementioned gentleman co-responsible for the eviction of Antiviosi squat, and we remind him that buildings like this one are spaces that have already been reclaimed, and constitute cores of social resistance and struggle. Really, that’s the reason why they are being targeted by the repression of state power and all of its sidekicks.

For all these reasons, we got ourselves at the yard of the resort yesterday, where the banquet was underway, with a purpose to cause disruption and put an end to it, and as an act of solidarity with Antiviosi squat. We painted “Antiviosi squat will stay” at the wall of the yard, while we shouted slogans such as: “10, 100, 1000 squats against a world of organized sepsis”, and “Antiviosi squat will stay; the flame we lit cannot be put out by anyone.” Also, we smashed the windows and mirrors of two super luxury cars that belonged to guests of the regional governor.

IDEAS CAN NEITHER BE EVICTED, NOR SILENCED SOLIDARITY WITH THE SQUATS

[Was false news] Uruguayan President rejected from international act after being confused with "commoner"

Correction: this news was false. My apologies for the error.

Webguerrillero published today a formal correction: the whole news was accidentally taken from a humor site and they did not notice. Ironically many "serious" media through the world took it as real.

President Mujica at home
The President of Uruguay José "Pepe" Mujica was impeded to attend the inauguration of his Paraguayan colleague Horacio Cartes, after security confused him with a "commoner". 

For some reason Mr. Mujica, who lives a very simple life, without any luxuries whatsoever, arrived late to the inauguration, after the rest of the Uruguayan delegation had already entered the event. Security personnel were not able to recognize him and did not let him enter. 

Luckily the Chancellor arrived then with his credentials and he was allowed in.

Afterwards excuses were issued:
We knew well who was Mujica and that he was very austere... What we did not know was that he was so extremely so. Please put yourselves in our skin, seeing that a plain commoner wanted to enter in a place with so many important people, without accreditation and alone rang all alarms and forced us to impede him access.

You get it, right? There are two kinds of people: oligarchs and commoners, and among all Presidents on Earth, only Mujica (and surely Evo) is like us, commoners.
