Anarchists in Madrid, Spain Claim Arson Attack Against an ATM in Solidarity

with Anarchist Prisoners

Spanish anarchists in the city of Madrid claimed an arson attack against a bank ATM,
claiming solidarity with imprisoned “anarchist comrades” internationally.

The claim was posted on the noted activist website Act for Freedom Now, asserting that
the “attack justifies itself,” as “banks are one of the main engines of state society and
capitalism.” The text went on to accuse various financial institutions – though none were
actually called out by name – of financing “prisons, juvenile centers,” and “arms
industries.” The text also criticized banks for being involved in evictions, and “gentrifying
processes.” The second to last paragraph claimed solidarity with imprisoned anarchists,
reading as follows:

This small show of solidarity serves as an expression of affection and

encouragement for Lisa and for the rest of anarchist comrades retaliated by the
State, in Italy, Greece, France, Germany, Turkey, Chile, Mexico, Russia and
around the world.

Following is a copy of the claim.

in Germany for expropriating a bank

The early morning of April 11 a Bankia ATM in Vallekas (Madrid), on Carlos Martín
Álvarez street and painted in solidarity with the comrade.

credit to companies and states; evict and speculate with the housing, complicity with
gentrifying processes among others many responsibilities in the gears of capitalism,
give good proof of that … The banking system throughout its network has always been
one of the greatest enemies of the exploited, and therefore, of the Anarchists, as
exemplified in expropriations and sabotage which have accompanied the anarchist
struggle throughout its history.

Against the submissive leftist panorama (that reaches libertarian environments) that
uncritically adds itself to controlled, civic and citizen protest, is clamouring for

the freedom of dirty police and politicians in full catharsis of citizenist

nationalism and many others swimming in the self-complacency of victimization in
social networks, we are not renouncing attack.

This small show of solidarity serves as an expression of affection and encouragement

for Lisa and for the rest of anarchist comrades retaliated by the State, in Italy,
Greece, France, Germany, Turkey, Chile, Mexico, Russia and around the world.

Solidarity is attack!

Strength to Lisa!

Long live anarchy!
