on june 20-21-22, the bosses of europe come together near thessaloniki

(in a hotel in chalkidiki) under huge security measures, to find ways to build

their fortress-europe. one of the most important issues to be discussed is how

to deal with the immigration issue. behind the philology about legal and illegal

people and the internal security of european consumers, a paneuropean

cooperation network is being developed to control and deal with so called

"illegal immigration", as well as to provide for the smooth transfer of the

immigrants in the mechanisms of exploitation in ways controlled by the bosses.

Thursday june 19Antiracist demonstration

More than 5000 people participated in this demonstration

Friday june 20No border action

At the moment there are 700 roma in the state Macedonia at the border with greece. They fled during the Kosovo war to Macedonia, where

they were allowed to stay in different camps and private houses. Since march, the Macedonian state tries to expel them of the country.

Each prisoner in this camp gets a liter of water and a piece of bread a day, they have no access to medical aid and no sun protection. When they tried

to find protection from the rain, the border police violently drove them out of their shelter.

Out of solidarity with the roma and in order to offer them some aid supplies, and will to act against the outer EU- borders and the Schengen system, about 250 people drove

from the university campus to the border. The activists had planned to cross over the two borders by foot and to take food, water and medical supplies over to the prisoners.

Even before the greek borders the police and riot cops were the group. It seemed impossible to cross the border.

After about 2hours of negotitiations, groups of about five people were allowed to pass the borders. Ten people passed the greek borders

but were stopped before the macedonian border. One car, packed with water, was stopped about 300m before the borders.

The activists were not able to get in contact with the roma. During the negotiations (about 4hrs), the police forces were built up and military forces joined.

Friday june 20Clash at the red zone

Thousands of people went with buses from Thessaloniki to the village Marmara's, in order to demonstrate in the red area,

near the hotel where the summit was held. There full armed riot cops waited for them with many tear gasses. The dissobidients

and the anarchist block attacked in the red area and clashed with the police

The police used huge amounts of tear gasNo demonstrators were arrested

Many were injured

Saturday june 21Clashes in the centre of thessaloniki

the day started late, and there were originally two separate Blocs - The Anti-Authoritarian Movement Salonika and the "Black Bloc". The Anti-Authoritarian Movement Salonika

joined the front of the main demonstration and maintained a good deal of cohesion, but the Bloc was not as big as the Black Bloc - I'd guess about 4000 total though. Overall,

both marches were very huge and exceedingly well-equipped. While the Anti-Authoritarian Movement attempted a break-away march from the main demonstration, they were blocked at an intersection by cops and maneuvered

down side-streets, where it joined with the Black Bloc (which left a bit later and was so at the end of the march). The two blocs merged and the gates of hell opened – suddenly the street was transformed into a war zone against global capitalism.

Stores like McDonalds and Vodafone were torched, although most small businesses seemed to be left alone.

Demonstrator’s personal report

The police attacked in the demo with dozens of tear gasses, after that the demo split.

The bigger part returned in the universities where people continued throwing stones to the police. The part

of the demo that continued clashed with the police in the centre of city. The demonstrators

threw molotov bombs and stones while the police used plastic bullets
