KKE denounces murderous attack against student
The KKE denounces the murderous attack by unknown against a group of students that participate in the students’ mobilizations in Peristeri (a working-class neighbourhood of Athens region, where the party has significant influence).
As a result of this criminal action the student Giorgos Paplomatas, member of KNE and of the 15-member students’ council of his school and son of a cadre of KKE, trade-unionist of PAME and member of the direction of the Teachers’ Federation, was wounded by a gunshot at his hand.
Those that believe that such actions can wear down the militant mood of the people and the youth will be proven mistaken.
This murderous attack, that aims against the organized student’s movement and its elected organs, will be given an immediate response through the intensification of struggle for the problems of education and the fight against all forms of repression mechanisms, against the anti-peoples’ policy.
KKE underscores the political responsibilities of the government and demands the full unraveling of the issue.
Today, at 6 pm the Athens’ Organizations of KKE and KNE organize a protest rally in the center of Peristeri.
