Analysis of the current
resources of repression and the interview in Le Figaro, on June 29th.
[athens.indymedia.org] On June 29th, we learn about 3300 men and women
work “to
fight terrorism”, attack on national security and on economical
capital”.
The DCRI have been created on July 2008, by a fusion
between
the DST (Direction of territory Surveillance) and the RG
(General Intelligence). Practically, information is shared between
different teams, and tend to bring justice and police, police and
military matters together.
When answering to the question “what is
your
conclusion after two years of work”, the director informs us that the
“must”
of his work, is to “investigate months long, even years, to prevent
the action”.
Indeed, the last arrests and anti-terrorist cases
confirm
this position. Arresting people accusing them of an action they
haven’t committed yet, is a strategy used to put pressure on them and
to isolate them.
Accusing people of terrorism is then a great
excuse to
imprison or to sentence them to a judicial control, which means one
is
waiting for an hypothetical trial in a cell, or one can not leave
the house. Preventing you from seeing your friends, forcing you to work,
and calling you at the police station to confirm your attendance are
basic
ways to investigate about links, breaking friendships, and dragging
down any
political will. A simple definition to pacification.
He resumes:
“If we
intervene after the tragedy, it means we have failed in the detection
of the
threat”.
But who are they?
After
explaining the “djihadist threat”
and all the cases he and his team have supposedly foiled, the
journalist
comes to the “extreme-link” interest.
According to police, the
inner enemy
is difficult to define. He actually could be everywhere! In some
articles,
police and experts talk about the “alternative” people, the
“autonomous
circle” or “situationist circle”. Actually, anybody who strikes
or participates to a demonstration. Nothing clear in this definition.
In
some other articles, they describe a ‚movement‘, a ‚community‘, or an
extremely organized group. Because there are not any
specific insurrectionist-armed-anti-state-action group, the experts
rather talk about a circle of influence, a network: you are not in
a military group, but you know people who know people… And this
specific
people, gathering around strikes, ideas, wills, blockades and wishes-
are
preparing something. At one point we both agree: to fight against the
power
will always be defined as violent, simply because it’s not in their
interest.
And this violence, this resistance, when not denied, is considered as
“terrorism”.
In one hand, terrorizing the population- with potential
and undefinable dangerous protagonists.
In the other hand,
reassuring
people, by creating a name for this threat, and saying special forces
control
the situation.
Actually, where
are they?
According to his
investigations, this “UltraLeft fringe” is still active, even after
“Tarnac
dragnet” (1). They were obviously visible in summits as in
Strasbourg, Vichy
or Poitiers (2).
Police defines these criminals according to the
subjects
they fight: anti-jail, anti-nuclear, anti-security society.
We
then
learn they are people who follow the situation in Greece very
closely(3).
It’s suspicious, and serious, because, the “riots in
Greece
[were] followed with political murders”. Here we go again, with the
ghost of murders. When arresting people in France, police compared
the accused individuals and Action Directe group, known for their actions
in the 70’s and 80’s, specifying their “violence” because of claimed
murders.
What currently happens in Greece could apparently give to
rebels
in France some ideas, and yes, it could threat the State here.
Who’s
next?
Since several months, these kind of articles are
published before
a political decision, or a police raid, in order to justify them.
Even
before the creation of the DCRI, general analysis has been given to
Michelle
Alliot-Marie: “From the anti-cpe conflict to the the constitution of
an
international preliminary-terrorist network: regards on the French
and
European UltraLeft” (2008). In his last interview, Squarcini gives
several
examples of alarm signs: actions
against the Penitentiary
Administration, the
Justice Ministry or several actions against bank ATMs(4). Some marks
to let
us know where he would hit.
“Logically,
we deduce you are preparing
fresh large-scale operations,
in a near future. Beware, Mr Squarcini, you
become predictable![…]
In Greece, it’s not the anarchists who
attempted
to take over the Parliament,
but consistent strikers. You seem to think that
by pestering us with your
justice and police, by exasperating number of
known activists on your files, you will push one or another to any wacky or
indefensible act; you will create in somebody’s mind the reasoning that, if
one has to go to prison, one might as well be imprisoned for something
serious. And not for a sticker on an
ATM. Unfortunately, we are quite lucid
on the situation, and nobody of
us yearns for the avant-garde sacrificial
heroic role. The armed existentialism
of the 70’s does not appeal to us very
much, and we know to be
patient. Our presence only brings to light the
deep sickness hitting your
social Order; you could try to annihilate
us, the sickness will stay-
kept intact and, as fatal as it always
has been.”
