Europæisk opbakning til græsk generalstrejke

det græske LO GSEE, har flere gange afvist at strejke fordi de støtte den nyvalgte socialdemokratiske regering som er kommet for at realisere alle disse reaktionere omstruktureringer der lige som i en rakke andre EU-lande vil åbne vejen for kapitalens profiten.Eller sagt på en anden måde at arbejderklassen en gang til skal betale krisens omkostninger.
Efter de sidste kæmpedemonstrationer som GSSE havde kaldt som ulovlige og fra den store press der kom nedefra er de med imorgen som medarrangør

Desvære kammerater lyder det meget naivt at tro eller udfodre atarbejderne og arbejsgiverne kan finde sammen en løsning. Så ender det lige som her i Danmark hvor arbejderne fik 1,75 kr. per time på grundlønnen.
Desvære erfaringen siger at det eneste EFS prøve igen og igen er at overtalle lønmodtagere til at kræve mindre og mindre og finde sig i at altafgørende for væksten er kapitalisternes profiten.
Sådan en paraplyorganisation behøver vi ikke at følge.tak

Tens of thousands of workers and employees both in the private and public sector responded to the strike call of All Workers’ Militant Front (PAME), a front of class trade unions in Greece. PAME staged mass rallies in 70 cities throughout the country.
The success of the strike was another response to the anti-people measures announced by the social-democrat government of PASOK such as wage and pension reduction, increase of retirement age. The workers turned their backs on the call of the government to consent “in order to save the country” from the crisis. They have shown that Greece is not in danger of bankruptcy and that the big capital is responsible for the deficits and the debts. It’s the big capital that before and during the crisis has made fabulous profits blackmailing the working and popular strata and placing the burden of the crisis on their shoulders.

On March 8 follows another big mobilisation.
Since dawn on February 24 thousand of workers and students joined the picket lines outside the gates of factories and other workplaces. Big industrial units, multinational companies, construction sites and the biggest port of Greece in Piraeus froze. The hard battle of preparing the strike, the picketing, the exposure of the consent of the forces of employer-led and yellow trade unionism that control the Confederations of workers in the private (GSEE) and public sector (ADEDY) strengthened the working class in Greece.
On the other hand, GSEE and ADEDY called for a strike on February 24 and staged a rally in the centre of Athens though with scant participation.

On the contrary, tens of thousands participated in the mass rally of PAME in Athens. The working people condemned the anti-labour, anti-people policy and the attack of the black block namely the government along with the employers, the EU and the parties of the plutocracy that urge the working class to make the “sacrifices” that the EU and the government demand.
A delegation of the CC of KKE headed by the General Secretary of the CC Aleka Papariga participated in the rally.
The mass rally followed a protest march in the central streets of Athens. The protesters made clear that they will not make any sacrifice for plutocracy and demanded:

Stable employment for all
7-hour working day, 5-day
1400 euro minimum salary
retirement at the age of 55 for women and 60 for men, at 50 and 55 for the hazardous occupations
Measures for substantial protection of the unemployed and their families and not charity supermarket vouchers
1120 euro unemployment benefit for the whole period of unemployment without any conditions and prerequisites.
Full health and pharmaceutical care
drastic taxation of the big enterprises by 45%. Abolition of all tax relieves and privileges.
