Conclusion of the EUROF WFTU Conference in France

Published on

With class optimism and determination to escalate the struggle and internationalist solidarity concluded the works of the EUROF Conference, which took place from 28 to 30 January, in Creteil, Paris, France under the slogan: “Workers all over Europe rise up against the EU of monopolies, wars, poverty and unemployment. For a world without exploitation”.

The participants with their interventions confirmed that the struggle processes in many European countries are gaining momentum. That the anti-people’s policy of the bourgeois governments, the EU and the imperialist wars have created an unbearable situation for the peoples of Europe by intensifying exploitation, poverty and unemployment. This situation is exacerbated by the war preparations of these countries, with the passing of war budgets in all the countries of Europe, by the whole spectrum of the bourgeois ruling parties. At the same time they transferred the experience from the militant processes that exist in many European countries, the will of millions of workers not to sacrifice their rights on the altar of exploitation and imperialist war, to strengthen their solidarity with migrants and refugees.

The document-decision of the EUROF Conference reflected the will of the trade unions to fight for modern rights, for wage increases and collective agreements, for health and education based on modern needs, for a world without wars and exploitation.

The Conference called the unions to celebrate with militant actions all over Europe the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the WFTU and the trade unions to fight against the imperialist organisations, the EU and NATO, against the imperialist plans and wars, not to choose a capitalist side but to fight for the interests of the workers of Europe. Strengthen solidarity with the peoples who struggle, especially the peoples of Cuba and Palestine.

The Conference expressed solidarity with the strike struggles of workers in many countries and sectors, calling for massive solidarity from the unions with the General National Strike that is to take place in Greece on February 28.

The Conference concluded with the election of the new EUROF Secretariat, in which was elected on behalf of PAME comrade Nikolas Theodorakis. The works closed with the anthem of the International and a visit to the Monument for the heroes and martyrs of the Paris Commune in the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
