10 organizations abroad support ANTARSYA

Statement on the September 20th Greek Elections

Against Syriza's austerity and the false alternatives of Popular Unity and the KKE

For an independent and working class policy - The capitalists must pay for the crisis

1.The capitulation of the Syriza-Anel government with the adoption of the third memorandum was the culmination of various concessions to the Troika made by Tsipras. The third memorandum is nothing less than a new “colonial pact”; with an increase in taxes on the people, pension reform, privatizations, attacks on labor agreements and new cuts.

Syriza has transformed itself into the implementer of the toughest neoliberal plans against workers and the Greek people. In these elections Syriza will seek to gain legitimacy in order impose these policies against the workers and the people. It is possible that the results will end in a coalition government as the Troika would like. Its incredible openness towards PASOK in the face of less favorable polling results is a sign of this.

Declaration for trial of the arrested in July 15^th

Today, 28^th of July, the trial of the seven arrested in July 15^th took an end. Despite the perforated indictment and continuing contradictions of police / prosecution witnesses, only four of the seven defendants were judged not-guilty, while the remaining three were sentenced with unprecedented cruelty, without attenuating for any of the three and the maximum period of probation, which is three years. The process of appeals has already started.

Among those who acquitted is our comrade Manthos Tavoularis, secretary of the workers Union in bookshops in Athens, who was arrested in his attempt to protect his colleagues from the attacks of the riot police.

The hardness of the judges exhausted on sentences of the three activists who convicted. The only migrant worker and punished one, N.L, convicted with the highest punishment for exemplification, apparently from the "left" government, to all those migrants who dare to organize and demonstrate. The worker and member of OKDE-Spartacus and ANTARSYA, our comrade Michalis Goudoumas, also convicted for exemplification and punishment of the Left, which is in opposition and stands in the front line against the Memoranda, regardless of origin. The last activist G.K. and member of social solidarity structures in his neighborhood was punished, because solidarity is the opposite to individualism and social cannibalism leading the affected majority government SYRIZA-ANEL.

OKDE – Spartakos statement on the oncoming elections

1.The government of SYRIZA-ANEL agreed, planned and voted for the third memorandum, ignoring provocatively the OXI movement and the undoubted result of the referendum. SYRIZA has undertaken the duty of applying a major series of austerity measures and privatizations on behalf of the bourgeois class of Greece and the bourgeois classes of Europe, the pressure of whom did not allow for anything like “honest compromises”. And they decided to impose these measures at all costs, just like all governments with a similar duty: with oppression, police violence and trials against the anti – memorandum militants.

This situation did not come out of nowhere. This is the normal and predictable outcome of a deeply rooted political management of the bourgeois state and of class collaboration policy, which together lead to the benefit of the stronger side of the tug of war, the side of the capitalist class. Militant parts of the working class are breaking from their illusions on the policy of SYRIZA or on the alleged subversive developments that would be the result of their government. SYRIZA's own mechanisms are being disintegrated by the daily withdrawals of members of the base and the leadership.

【聲明】撤銷對希臘示威者的起訴！同希臘革命者團結一起！(Drop the Charge against Greek Protestors! Stand in Solidarity with Greek Revolutionaries! )

*For English Version, Please see below

7月15日，希臘一萬五千餘名示威者在雅典憲法廣場舉行反緊縮示威，以抗議執政的激進左翼聯盟提出新的備忘錄和緊縮政策並獲議會多數通過。在抗議中，有五十多人被警察逮捕（其中有十幾名反資本主義左翼陣線﹝ANTARSYA﹞成員），這其中有兩人為希臘國際主義共產主義組織—斯巴達克斯（OKDE-Spartacus）的成員。這兩名同志有一人為社會工作者和工會活動者，另一人為雅典書店工人工會的書記。希臘官方7月22日起審判這些抗議者，OKDE-Spartacus的兩名成員和另外七位示威者被正式起訴襲警和破壞公共秩序。

我們認為，抗議者是在為自己和所有希臘勞動人民的生存、民主權利而鬥爭，是在為自己能掌握自己的命運而鬥爭，這些要求都是合理的和正當的。相反，激進左翼聯盟領導層背叛了自己當初的承諾，而在不斷向資產階級體制投降。現在激進左翼聯盟在政治上已經破產了。對革命左翼的鎮壓更顯示出這個所謂「反緊縮政府」、「左翼政府」根本不可能去真的反緊縮，不能提供真正符合勞動人民利益又能根本解決希臘經濟危機的改革方案。現在希臘以及全世界最需要的，就是工人階級和一切勞動者敢於衝破資本主義局限的階級鬥爭。
