A-Infos (en) Italy, FAI, Umanita Nova: True security is a world without a state and without police. (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Repression is a constant in government action against those who engage 
in social opposition. In a situation of repression that we can define as 
systemic, the actions of the Meloni government, due to its unmistakably 
fascist roots, demonstrate a clear intensification of the continuous 
repressive decrees we have witnessed in recent times. Generalized 
impoverishment, the growth of precarious employment, the spread of the 
war economy, and the exhaustion of all margins of social mediation are 
leading to a loss of consensus, to which the government responds with 
precise repressive measures necessary to quell social discontent.

In light of all this, the narrative of repression as a response to a 
security emergency must be completely rejected.

The government's authoritarian grip attacks us at every level: the 
criminalization of young people; the increasingly severe restrictions on 
the freedom to demonstrate; preventive detention; The denial of legal 
aid for appeals against the expulsion of migrants, while "law 
enforcement" is guaranteed legal fees of up to EUR10,000 for each level 
of proceedings; the increase in administrative repression, which 
provides fewer guarantees and opportunities for defense; measures aimed 
at breaking solidarity among prisoners, making them passive, and 
encouraging denunciation with the specific crime of rioting in prisons 
and detention centers (CPR); the criminalization of conflictual union 
activity; and regulations that further target those who oppose major 
construction projects and environmental devastation through direct action.

These measures, which target dissent, are increasingly implemented 
through economic pressure on movements and activists.

The attacks on self-managed social spaces, which were actually carried 
out by previous governments, for this government represent an offensive 
with primarily propaganda value, which, however, in practice eliminates 
spaces for social interaction and alternative collective organization.

These targeted actions and the tightening of security measures are 
accompanied by a general disciplining that spills over into workplaces 
and schools. One example is the militarization of schools, which will 
intensify in anticipation of the recruitment drive linked to the 
proposed reintroduction of compulsory military service.

The true beneficiaries of this situation are the employers, the real 
instigators of these policies. The blackmail of employment, the high 
cost of living, the cuts to services, and starvation wages, in the will 
of the ruling classes, should make the workplace increasingly places of 
discipline and social reproduction.

Within the general repressive framework, the desire to specifically 
target the anarchist movement emerges.

We call for solidarity with those affected by repression and support 
those fighting for a world of free and equal people.
