  Greece - Down with this government of murderers!
GREEK SOCIAL FORUM
DOWN WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF MURDERERS
15 year old pupil shot dead by policeman
Rage and mobiliation all over the country for the cold blooded
assassination by a firearm bullet in the stomach of the 15year old
school boy, by a policeman, on Saturday 6th of Dec. 9 p.m.
This is the extreme expression of police brutality spreading in the
last few years accross mobilisations of any description, of students,
workers, migratns, peasants, women, antifascist, ecological
movements.
As from Saturday night mobilisations spread all over the country, from
Crete in the South to upper northern cities, especially aroung
universities, attacking police stations and banks.
The Greek Social Forum participated massively in the Sunday midday
demonstration in Athens, of about 20.000, called at a few hours notice
by left wing organisations and parties, which was soaked in chemicals
and teargas in quantities heavier than ever in the last few years. It
also participated in all the cities in mobilisation.
School pupils have been demonstrating everywhere today Monday, in the centre of the cities and in neighbourhoods, mainly by encircling
police stations and dropping books and pencils in a symbilic disobedience move against the repression forces.
A general closure of all grades of education for tomorrow, Tuesday,
has been announced by pupils-students and trades unions and a big
mobilisation.
At 6 o'clock today, Monday, the Greek Social Forum together with left
wing organisations and parties organise a radical protest expected
massive and disobedient. We opt for disobedience and not for
indiscriminate smashing of property, as some antiauthoritarian forces
do.
On Wednesday there is a general strike by the General Confederation
of
Labour, organised independently and before the assassination against
the government policies, and the workers are called to take part in it
massively, as well as in the rallies of the unions. The rallies will
be followed by marches, despite the shameful announcement of the
Trades Unions Leadership that they do not sanction marches for the
fear of "trouble makers" and damage of property.
The government of austerity measures, of complicity in land
development of huge proportions in collaboration with some Holy
Mountain monasteries, of selling-off everyghing in the land (from
ports and aircompanies to telecommunications and public education)
must be overthrown by this huge movement of people's rage.
Greek communities in Europe are carrying out activities of protest
outside Greek consular authorities. We consider this movement in
Greece to be a part of all European povements, thus we ask the
comrades everywhere to find ways to allign their forces with us.
