The slogan that THE RULE OF LAW MEANS THE WORKER’S RIGHTS will be put into effect with our counter-offensive in 2011!

Workers, unemployed workers, pensioners, young people, 

The Executive Committee of PAME congratulates the working class on its strong and dynamic class struggle against the governments of Nea Demokratia and PASOK, and against the hostile EU policies aimed at the people of Greece in 2010.

These multifaceted struggles are a sacred heritage, as they bring the class labour movement one step closer in the inevitable workers´ struggle. This struggle is intensifying as the offensive of the forces of capital and the ever-strengthening attack of the government on the workers manifest themselves in all areas of our lives.

PAME wishes 2011 to be a year of a conclusive counter-offensive and a year of conclusive victories in the class struggle. This is the year when the working class will become the leading social class and together with the people´s strata will open the way toward realizing its historical mission. PAME will continue its struggle to achieve these goals.

In 2010, the year that has passed, we the workers and the popular strata saw the hideous face of the barbarian inhuman capitalist system in which we live. We continue to face the consequences of the world crisis in our daily lives. We continue to face the policies of the government, the European Union, the IMF, and the memoranda that aim to destroy the workers. Every day in our lives we continue to encounter the capital  that they serve. To deal with the world crisis, they have thrown the wages, the labour and social security rights of the working class, the working people and the poor into the abyss, and as result we have been experiencing enormous insecurity, uncertainty and poverty. These conditions are the cornerstone by which we will be judged for our past, present and future. These conditions point a finger at those who are responsible for, and are accomplices in, the government’s unprecedented offensive. The responsibility lies with the political parties of the plutocracy – PASOK, ND, LAOS and the various new forms which have emerged from them, together with other forces such as SYN-SYRIZA, which have aligned themselves with the strategy of capital and its infamous competitiveness. GSEE and ADEDY, as agents of the government´s labour movement, are together with them in the same basket. By giving their consent and by participating in the social dialogues, they have become accomplices in creating mediaeval labour wages and social security for us. This is even more aggravating for the new generation.

This gloomy reality angers us. It dissolves all illusions, self-deception and theories about humanising this system. It poses historical questions in an objective manner, and demands answers which will determine the future of our people.  

 We, the working class and all the working people, responded to these questions through the struggles that we carried out as a class labour movement in the course of 2010. We responded with our contribution when we found it necessary to form a social alliance of the people´s counter-offensive. The aspiring founder members of this alliance are PAME, PASY, PASEVE, MAS and OGE. This social alliance has put fear into our opponents within the ranks of the government in its aggression against the people.  We have responded within the framework of our claims concerning the immediate rights of the working people, bearing in mind the future social changes in general. We have responded through our dynamic fight to thwart the government´s daily aggression against the working people.  We have responded by leading a class war against the anti-labour, economic, ideological and social war on a daily basis, which is being conducted against us by the government, by the media, and by the rest of the active forces of capital. We have responded by unmasking and condemning the syndicate that plays the role of a political accomplice in the service of capital. Our past struggles have enriched our experience, and as a result we can state that we are now better equipped to continue in our struggle. All this demonstrates our strength and our high expectations. The results of our struggle form the basis for our justified optimism and certainty – the day will soon come when our slogan THE RULE OF LAW MEANS THE WORKER’S RIGHTS will be fulfilled. 2011 will be a year when we will do what we must do. We will continue to follow our slogan in our struggle, which will end only when our goals are fulfilled.
