In their declaration entitled “it was worth trying…’’ which was posted on the internet, the organization expresses its solidarity to 17N ‘’Manolis’’, making clear that no word of information which could prove to be useful to the enemy will be said whatsoever.

As they stress, the sole purpose of an anarchist urban guerilla is to escape from prison, the word ‘’escape’’ being the ‘’quintessence of freedom, capable of blowing up sky-high the prison walls that keep their lives locked up’’.

Further on, as it is mentioned, ‘’every night, when our minds wander off, we set about to a world without prisons, armed guards or locked up souls’’. Yet, as they claim, ‘’ every incarceration, mistake or failure’’ only conduces to strengthening their will and tenacity, for if they are to fall down three times, they will rise again four.

According to information, the purpose of Christodoulos Xiros was to blow up Korydallos’ prison first ward, in order to set the members of ‘’Pirines’’ free. As anti-terrorist group analysts profess, this plan would require the involvement of at least eight people if it was to stand any chances of success. What is more, these people would have to be weapons and explosives experts.
