".
Mr President, may I start by expressing my full solidarity with the fight by the trade unionists in the European Parliament and wishing them every success.
A massive wave of anti-labour measures is being unleashed by the Greek Government and flexible forms of work are being made the rule and imposed across the board. The social security system is also being decimated and wages and pensions are being frozen.
The Greek Government, the European Union and the representatives of capital are trying to terrorise workers by brandishing the bugbear of Greece’s budget deficit and public debt. They are engaging the workers in social dialogue, which is a set-up, in order to force them into consent, limit their justified anger and divert grassroots reaction.
The first response to the anti-grassroots attack by the government and the European Union will be the national strike on 17 December announced and organised by the All Workers Militant Front (PAME). They are demanding measures to satisfy modern grassroots requirements which can only be met by a united front of the working classes, the poor and middle classes in the towns and countryside, to confront and overthrow the anti-grassroots policy of the European Union."@en1
