Mobilization for the preparation and success of the strike on February 23rd
On Thursday 10/2/2011 thousands
of workers and youth participated in the nationwide day of action, sending
a powerful message of resistance against the anti-worker and anti-people
policies.
This mobilization was organized
by the All Militant Workers’ Front (PAME), the All Farmers’ Militant
Rally (PASY), Nationwide Antimonopoly Rally of the Self-employed and
the small Tradesman (PASEVE) , Greek Women’s’ Federation (OGE),
Student’s Struggle Front and was multi-faceted. Hundreds of trade
unionists from the class-oriented trade unions visited factories, businesses,
hospitals, university, unemployment offices, while in the afternoon
protests with placards took place in dozens of Greek cities. From the
Evros River to Crete and the Peloponnese, the class-oriented forces
made it clear that they will not tolerate the policies of the government,
the EU, the IMF, and that they will not submit to their blackmail, or
to the demands of capital.
Workers, students, the self-employed
and small tradesmen, women, pensioners united their voices against the
policies which give birth to poverty and wretchedness , cut wages and
pensions, increase unemployment, provoke dismissals and the aggression
of capital.
They demonstrated their decision
to fight against capitalist barbarity, and to organize their joint struggle.
In this way yet another decisive step was taken in the preparation of
the nationwide general strike, which will embrace every workplace on
the 23rd of February.
