[06.09.2006] About the privatization of the national telecom (OTE)
The press bureau of KKE issued the following statement on the occasion of the announcement of governmental privatization plan for the National Telecommunication Company [OTE]
"The completion of OTE’s [National Telecom] privatisation being attempted by the Government will be at the expense of the interests of the workers in the company, as well as of the popular strata in general. The workers should not be trapped in the dangerous pseudo-dilemma regarding the form and manner in which the privatisation will proceed.
The interest of the working people lies in rejecting any privatization; in joining the struggle against the privatizations and “liberalizations” promoted by both ND and PASOK parties. The way out according to the people’s interests lies in overthrowing their policy and establishing a single, exclusively state-owned, telecommunication system that will be people’s property.
