On the occasion of December 18, World Migrants Day, PAME, the class unions of Greece send a message of Solidarity, Message of organization and Struggle to our class brothers, migrants of every country, every color, every race and religion.
We are united by the difficulties and obstacles of a system dominated by poverty, unemployment for the many, so that the few can profit. A system that cultivates xenophobia, racism, which starts wars and creates refugees. But at the same time we are united by common hopes and dreams, we are united by the common struggle for survival, for jobs, salary, rights, the struggle of all of us for a better life, for a society without exploitation.
