Pre-election rally of the KKE in Thessalonica
The KKE must be strengthened. It has been proved correct and know how to organize the people
The election campaign of the KKE
continues throughout the whole of Greece in the run-up to the first
round of the regional and municipal elections on the 7th
of November. The KKE supports the lists of “People’s rally” which
have been formed in the 13 regions of our country as well as in 260
municipalities.
Over the last month there have
taken place hundreds of rallies, meetings, and candidate’s tours of
work places and neighbourhoods. In the home stretch, in the final week
of the elections, the KKE held its central pre-election rally in Thessalonica
on the 2nd of November in Thessalonica, the second largest
city in the country.
“The anger of the people must
be translated into the power of the people, “People’s Rally” must
be supported everywhere.» This was shouted yesterday by thousands of
workers, young people, small tradesmen, who participated in a mass way
in the pre-election rally of the Party Organization of Thessalonica
of the KKE in the Vellidion Conference Centre. The main speakers were
Aleka Papariga, GS of the CC of the KKE, Theodosis Konstantinidis, Member
of the PB of the CC of the KKE, candidate for the regional prefecture
of Central Macedonia, and Sotiris Zarianopoulos, mayoral candidate for
the city of Thessalonica. They sent the message that in the few days
that remain, they would not waste even one minute. The list of “People’s
Rally” must reach every popular household. So that every worker who
is angry, every ordinary person who understands that things cannot continue
like this, will make the step. So that these people answer the ideological
blackmail concerning the bankruptcy of the country, destabilization
and terrorism, by voting for the lists which are supported by the KKE.
The GS of the CC of the KKE, in her speech to the rally, stressed that there is no problem that we should not be mindful of at the ballot box-at work, concerning our salaries, wages, pensions, the situation in the education system and the problems in the health service, welfare, as well as the clear dangers that threaten us in the Aegean, the Balkans, in the Eastern Mediterranean. No more tolerance. The KKE has been proved correct. It knows how to organize the people. They cannot control it. It has an alliance policy which is rooted in the common interests of the working class, small businessmen and poor farmers. We must organize the opposition to the monopolies and imperialism. We can do it.
