The Community of Squatted Prosfygika is one of the biggest self-organized and liberated neighborhoods in Europe, existing since 16 years. Home to 400 inhabitants from 27 different countries, it has succeeded in building a politically united neighborhood with over twenty autonomous structures answering the needs of its inhabitants, as well as an active participation in broader political and social movements.
While the autonomy keeps growing stronger and stronger, so is the repression: Prosfygika is currently facing urgent attacks and threat of eviction by the local government, financed by European Union funds. These plans of gentrification are set to start by July 2026.
Thus, Prosfygika now, more than ever before, decided to open the community, exposing every lie of the State, which claims to “build” something it will never do, something that is already here organized from the below: social housing, children’s and health structures, a bakery, and guesthouses for patients of the nearby oncological hospital and their relatives.
The struggle for creating this autonomy is from the beginning a struggle based on internationalist solidarity, as it learned from the guerilla in the mountains of Kurdistan and from struggles in dozens of other geographies — because the struggle for liberation was, is and will be a global one!
To renovate, build and to struggle together we call for all organizations, collectives and people of solidarity to organize internationalist brigades to come and support us!
If you are:
- crafters of any branch
- medical personnel
- political or revolutionary organizations and individuals
- caring for our future as humanity…
… get organized and come here collectively!
It is our common struggle and we will win.
Hands Off Prosfygika!
