Elephant in the room – authoritarian politics, anarchists and refugees in time of Coronavirus in Greece #15

Posted on by Anarchistisches Netzwerk Dresden

In this edition of Elephant in the Room we spoke to our friend Michalis – anti-authoritarian activist from north of the country.

Coronavirus seems to provoke even bigger economical crisis than the one that started in 2009. The right wing government that came recently to power is pushing further the politics of Syriza on privatization and antisocial reforms. Meanwhile anarchists became the enemy number one for the greek state and right wing politicians.

We spoke to Michalis as well about situation or refugees in the country that are held in small isolated areas named by anarchists as „concentration camps“.

Anarchistische Blickwinkel zur Coromania- Die Fleischindustrie? Ein systemrelevanter Berufszweig?

Es steht fest, die Tierindustrie nutzt die Corona Krise, um ihre Machtposition zu stärken, in dem sie z.B. sog.

Die Preise sind in der gesamten Produktionskette massiv gefallen. Damit weiterhin Gewinne gemacht werden können, soll nun der Staat einspringen. Präsident Trump ordnet die weitere Produktion per Verordnung aus dem Jahre 1950 (anlässlich des Koreakriegs) an, um Industriebetriebe zur Herstellung bestimmter Produkte verpflichten zu können. Und Geschäftsführer von Müller Fleisch hält es für ausgeschlossen, dass die rekordverdächtigen Zahl von Corona-Erkrankungen unter seinen Mitarbeiter*innen mit seinem Geschäftsmodell zusammenhängt, also der Auslagerung von Arbeit an osteuropäische Billigarbeitskräfte und deren prekäre Unterbringung.
