#polytechneio

[gemsofgreece]

Ruslana, the Ukrainian Eurovision Winner of 2004 was in Athens, Greece on November 17th and visited the memorial for the students of Polytechneion for the anniversary of the Athens Polytechnic Uprising.

Translated from Ruslana’s official facebook page:

In Athens, she laid flowers at the memorial in honor of Polytechnic students who gave their lives for freedom and democratic values. Today is International Students' Day all over the world, but in Greece this date is special because it marks the anniversary of the student protests against the military junta of the "black colonels" in 1973. Polytechnic students barricaded themselves in the walls of the university as a sign of protest against the regime, and in the early hours of November 17, the country's government ordered tanks to attack the university. Around 3:00 a.m. on November 17, AMX 30 breached the main gate of the university's campus. 24 people died as a result of the clashes... Unfortunately, history tends to repeat itself…

Nights in Athens

yes it's a poetic burning dumpster from a few years ago, it's one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken because we were going around downtown athens with my family late one night and my dad says "it's so quiet tonight" and we turn a corner and there's this thing, burning all by itself, none of the few other people on the street seeming to care about it. There was just something special about it all.

November 17, 1973. The day of the bloody repression by the army and the police of the uprising of the youth of Greece against the far right, US-backed military dictatorship that ruled the country from 1967 to 1974. This picture was taken short before the invasion by the army of the Polytechnic School of Athens, which was the center of the uprising.

The Athens Polytechnic uprising

The Athens Polytechnic uprising occurred in November 1973 as a massive student demonstration against the Greek military junta of 1967-74. The uprising began on November 14 with the occupation of The Technical University of Athens, which ended in the early hours of November 17 when a tank invaded. The uprising triggered a series of events that caused the injury and the death of many civilians and led many others to imprisonment and torture. Nicolas A. Vernicos records the events secretly.Citizens start to gather and the area is crowded. As night falls at 07:03 of the film we see the gun barrel of the tank. At 07:12 as the tank moves, it pushes a bus in the middle of the road. At 07:45, armoured vehicles arrive with soldiers.At 07:50, a group of nurses carry a stretcher. At 8:59, the tank’s driver takes position. The filmmaker does not record the moment the tank crashes down the door, but just after that we see the tank entering a bit further and soldiers are invading (11:03 ).—Creator’s description:These films were shot from the window of a corner room on the 1st floor of the “Acropol” Hotel which is across the National (Metsovian) Polytechnical University of Athens, by Nicolas A. Vernicos (NAV) between November 14 to 17, 1973. In a nearby room was the Dutch crew led by Albert Coerant (awarded for the film for the Polytechneio), who, at the same time, was filming the events! I had rented the room for the support of the student members of the Hellenic European Youth Movement. It was an organization for the mobilization of the student movement against the dictatorship. My brother George A. Vernicos, who had a leading position in EKIN, was also a member of the takeover committee of Law School in February 1973 and wasi in constant contact and coordination with the Polytechnic’s takeover committee.From this room, except for supplying the students within the University, information was provided through telephone (by Demi Vezyrouli and NAV) to the European media, especially to BBC, Le Monde and Deutsche Welle in which the late Pavlos Bakoyannis was a collaborator for Greek affairs as the journalists Vassos Mathiopoulos and Angelos Maropoulos. The filming of those incidents around the Polytechneio took place through the lowered wooden blinds with the windows open and with bated breath. At midnight of Friday 16 to Saturday 17 November at the corner of the Acropol hotel was parked a tank which was waiting to intervene. The helmet of the standing driver almost reached the bottom of the corner window. Shortly before the intervention at the Polytechneio and while there was complete silence, a small noise was made in the room by the attending friends, fellow students and the telephone. The soldier turned the armoured vehicle’s spotlight on the facade of the hotel, trying to locate the source of the noise. He paused for a moment on the window behind him and a little above, it was the dark, with lowered blinds, window of our room. The headlight’s rays entered through the blinds. The soldier was trying to figure out where the noise, that was different from the sound of gunfire, was coming from. As it moved, it lighted the walls and especially the ceiling of the room in all directions. The breathing of those who were present in the room, stopped. They lay like the Chalepas “Sleeping woman” marble statue on the beds and the floor. We breathed when the beam of light left. The armoured vehicle moved a little and covered the similar tank near it, across the door of the Polytechneio. Shots, fired by snipers were heard from the vertical streets in Patission Street. Around 2.30, after the besieged refused to leave the tank crashed into the University gate’s entrance, entered in the yard, over parked cars and the military entered. The students cried “Bread, Education, Freedom. We are brothers” and rushed out chased by the police and the army, while bullets were whistling all around us. Many, among the first people who were injured by the bullets earlier, found a refuge on the ground floor of the Acropol hotel. A few of them, who were severely injured, were taken to our hotel room. Torill Engleland Magreth, a 22-year-old student from Molde, Norway, did not make it. Mortally wounded by the shots, she died of bleeding in the carotid artery in my hands and in the hands of George Lazaridis, a dentist who transported her dead body to the nearby First Aid Station on the 3rd Septemvriou Street. Moments when the time shrinks and seconds seem like centuries, and stay forever in our memories.Vernicos was arrested in the noon of Saturday November 17 by the Military Police. He remained in prison until December 31 and was interrogated and tortured.Video by Aylon Film Archives

Vandalism of luxury AirBNB flats in Athens.

Last week, during the police siege of the Exarchia neighbourhood, some anarchists broke into a few luxury airbnb flats to deliver a message. The locks of the doors were sabotaged and the walls redecorated. The situation in Exarchia is one of accelerated State pressure on the area, with an ongoing presence of riot cops & other heavily armed police forces in every strategic axis around the Plateia. This military occupation of the district has come hand-in-hand with a new series of squat evictions and attacks on the self-organized community. Police street harassment   has also triggered a series of arrests within the militant and migrant communities. This targeting of the rebellious spaces and dynamics within Exarchia may have taken a more brutal and direct tone in recent weeks, but it is merely the continuation of a process which has been at work for years and which seeks to annihilate the local communities of self-organization and resistance to the law and capitalist domination. This process is a diverse and enduring one, which manifests itself through the governmental plans to build a metro station in Exarchia Square and to turn the Polytechneio into a museum, thus neutralizing two of the most vital spaces for the local movement. Airbnbs are the most obvious and the most destructive manifestation of this process. They push working-class families and youth out of the area by appealing to the interests of landlords who see a golden opportunity in the pockets of the tourists who come to Exarcheia.

Faced with this reality our position is very clear: we cannot stand back and witness the military takeover of our neighborhood to make way for a consumerist travel resort, nor can we remain passive in the face of those who seek to sell off Exarchia and the dynamics of struggle and resistance to which it has long stood as home. We will keep fighting against the bloodsucking capitalists and their armies. Until every neighborhood is Exarchia! Last night’s attack was just a  taste!

We strongly encourage all residents of the neighborhood to enquire about the status of flats around their own and to report and/or act out against the cannibal landlords who profit from the growing distress of the displaced populations of Exarchia.

Instagram-tourists, the cops won’t save you ! You are not welcome here and you are not safe here. Landlord, your door is next.

Happy November 17th with music!!!

Greece has three national holidays; March 25th, the Independence Day, October 28th, the ΟΧΙ (No) Day aaaaand November 17th, the Polytechneio Day.

In fact, November 17th is considered a semi-national day, as it doesn't commemorate an ethnic uprising against some foreign oppressor or invader but the political intranational uprising against the Colonel Dictatorship of 1967-1974. It is the anniversary of the revolt that took place in the National "Metsovion" Technical University of Athens (Εθνικό Μετσόβιο Πολυτεχνείο - Ethnikó Metsóvio Polytechnío) by its students in November 1973. (Greek Polytechneia are high education engineering universities, so they are not the equivalent to technical schools.) The uprising was the most impactful anti-junta movement in Greece - students commandeered the University, operated a radio station and started protesting against the junta and spreading effectively the message to the Greek people, who started gathering around the school. Their effective protests harmed the dictators, who sent the army to surround the university and threaten the students. While the students and the junta were still in negotiations, the army broke the academic asylum, a tank demolished the gates and soldiers invaded the school. During the episodes that ensued, there were 40 deaths and more than 2,000 injured reported. The Polytechnic movement did not bring down the junta, however it was a crucial contributor to its weakening and to the spread of awareness against it across the globe. (The dictatorship eventually fell about half a year later, during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, in which Greece failed to provide significant assistance to Cyprus or even protect its own interests.)

The spirit of the university's revolutionaries as well as the general hardship Greece went through in those seven years were the inspiration for a lot of great artists, particularly poets and musicians, and birthed numerous classic Greek songs. Below are four of my favourite ones, from the many that became symbols of this era, and are today sung by school choirs across the country!

Ὀταν σφίγγουν το χέρι - When they clench their fist

Ο Δρόμος - The Road

Θα σημάνουν οι καμπάνες - The bells will toll

Είμαστε δυο - We are two

Lyrics of the last one in English:

We are two, we are two, it's eight o'clock, turn off the light, the guard knocks, they'll come again at night one in the front, one in the front, and the rest will be following him, then silence and what follows is the usual again. They hit twice, they hit thrice, they hit one thousand thirteen times, you are hurting, I am hurting too but who is hurting the most, only time will tell.

We are two, we are three, we are one thousand thirteen, we ride the times, in time, in rain blood thickens in the wound and the pain turns into a nail. (x2)

The avenger, the saviour, we are two, we are three, we are one thousand thirteen.
