"Madam President, the purpose of the decisions adopted by the summit on the capitalist crisis and the controlled bankruptcy of Greece and the haircut which the PASOK government is haggling over with its allies in the European Union is not to bring respite to the working and grassroots classes; it is to apportion the losses that certain banks and other sections of capital will suffer temporarily. For the working people, they mark a harsh new attack on their lives. Developments corroborate the fact that, as the capitalist crisis and the impasses created by the bourgeois administration deepen, the European Union is becoming more reactionary and more aggressive towards the people: action is being taken to step up the anti-grassroots policy and the EU 2020 strategy to convert the workers in all its Member States into very cheap labour for the benefit of capital. In these hard times, an important factor in these developments is the progress being made in the fight by the working and grassroots movement, such as the impressive forty-eight hour strike in Greece on 19 and 20 October which, despite efforts to suppress it and organised provocation, is resisting and fighting capitalist barbarity and seeking to overturn the power of the monopolies and break free of the European Union, so that power can be returned to the people and the debt can be written off unilaterally. The Greek Communist Party supports this fight and calls on the workers in all the Member States to participate in decisive, mass action to strengthen class unity and class solidarity."@en1
