National Demonstration Saturday, February 13, Athens

If The Government Dares To Push Forward the Butcher-Bill

WE RESPOND WITH NATIONAL GENERAL 48-HOUR STRIKE

Workers and Farmers United

One Voice-One Fist!

We Can Stop Them!

Stop the Butcher-Bill on Social Security!

Stop poverty, misery, the destruction of our lives!

United, Strong, with faith that our struggle is just, we can win!

We strengthen Solidarity in every place!

The farmers, who have formed militant blockades all over Greece, decided through their coordinating committee and among their fighting initiatives, to demonstrate in Athens against the Government’s bill on Social Security! They will not be alone!

PAME calls the working class of Greece,

• Who has made endless sacrifices because of the consequences of the crisis the last years

• Who is targeted by the new Social Security bill

• To rally, with all its forces, with the poor farmers and flood Athens with demonstrators!

Blockade To The Policies Of The Greek Government And The EU!

Block The Destruction Of Social Security!

Workers, youth, unemployed, we have duty and responsibility to unite our forces with the farmers, the self-employed, with whoever suffers from the policies that bankrupts us, while creating profits for the business groups.

United, Coordinated, Militantly, Class Oriented!

Poor farmers’ struggle is also struggle of the workers! It is common struggle against the policy that supports the big corporations and needs workers and farmers working till old age. With starvation-pensions, limited-less than basic- healthcare services. The same policy that bankrupts the poor farmers and the self-employed, is also the policy that imposes starvation wages to the workers, unemployment to the young people.

The Government’s Bill cannot be fixed! IttakesnoAmendments! Itcannotbemadebetter! It can only be withdrawn!

Whoever supports the position that there can be positive amendments through “social dialogues” supports the lies of the Greek Government!

PAME calls the trade union organizations, the workers, and the youth to support the common struggle of workers-farmers. Together to disable the propaganda of the Greek Government, who uses fabricated data, false hopes and slanders our fight and the forms of struggle that we choose through our mass procedures!

The great success of the General Strike of February 4, the massive strike rallies in every city, the militant blockades of the poor farmers all over Greece, the streets that flooded with people, revealed the abilities that exist today to block the new crime of the Government against Social Security, to move forward with new demands. The Strike revealed the great weapon of the people: the alliance of workers, self-employed, poor farmers, women, and youth. The success of the general strike showed the force of the popular alliance, the great value to strengthen it with demands and slogans against our exploiters, the monopolies, the capitalists, the EU and their governments.

PAME Calls For More Militant, More Powerful Struggle, With More Advanced Forms!

To isolate organizations like the GSEE and ADEDY (members of ETUC in Greece) whose actions are slandering the importance of joining the unions and fighting! They are the voices that transfer the propaganda of the European Union, constant obstacle in the organization of the struggle; they block the information to the workers!

Enough We Paid! Enough Blood We Shed!

Now The Capital And The State Must Pay!

We Will Not Allow Them To Undermine Our Struggle!

Steadfast, organized struggle, organization in the unions, in the workers’ and strike committees, the participation and contribution of all workers in the realization of our decisions in every branch and workplace is the powerful, unquestionable force that can block and overthrow their plans. It can turn the Government’s bill on Social Security, into trash!

We Have The Power To Stop Them!

The working class and the popular strata can live as we deserve! That is why we must not step back-not even an inch- from our slogan “BLOCK THE BUTCHER-BILL” that destroys Social Security, withdraw it NOW!

We have the power to escalate our Struggle! To create a solid, popular wall of resistance! A united, demanding, front that will not halt! If the Government dares to bring the bill for voting in the Parliament against people’s outcry

WE RESPOND WITH NATIONAL GENERAL 48-HOUR STRIKE

We Will Bring The Country Into Standstill!
