"Madam President, the government in Greece, with its foreign allies – the European Union and the Troika – arrived at Memorandum 3 after a preposterous display of so-called disagreements. Wages and pensions slashed by up to 35 %, annihilation of every employment right, savage health, welfare and education cuts. One-and-a-half million workers found themselves out on the street without unemployment benefit, without any social security. The number of unemployed in the construction and shipbuilding industries runs into thousands. Workers in the Skaramangas shipyards are working only four days a month. Fiscal deficits are the pretext, although for 20 years now barbaric anti-labour measures to secure a cheap workforce have been the strategic aim of the monopolies, the European Union and the bourgeois governments. The recent report by the President of the European Council plainly admits it: memoranda on capitalist barbarity in every Member State.
Enough! It is time for a popular uprising to put an end to capitalist barbarity, and for workers to build prosperity for the people, through their own popular power, upon the ruins of the power of the monopolies and the European Union."@en1
