On Saturday 20/12 we carried out a nighttime paint intervention at the RWE company at 1 Artemidos Street in Marousi. The company in question owns the largest open pit mine in Europe, next to which is the ruined Hambaker forest in Germany.
A struggle has been going on at the mine for 12 years, where the remaining forest that has not been destroyed by the mine is occupied by comrades who are blocking its expansion. An example of this is the occupation of Sudi, a small forest area next to Habi-Hambaker that was occupied about a year ago, with the aim of preventing another part of the mine from expanding.
On November 18, a repressive operation was carried out, with the eviction of the Sudi occupation and the arrest of all the people who had occupied the trees, and the subsequent deforestation.
Since the eviction in Sudi, Habi remains in ruins, hindering further destruction of the natural world in the name of development.
The company in question is also active in Greece, mainly owning wind turbines and solar-cells. The actions of the above company, as well as others like it, follow the general agenda of the state and capital, where nature is plundered for the purpose of profitability. Based on an anthropocentric logic that sees the natural world only as a resource to be exploited and denies it any self-worth.
Through this perception and practice, animals are murdered and expelled from their homes, ecosystems are plundered, large areas of green space are privatised and destroyed, soils are polluted, water is drained and local human societies are displaced.
