A Call For Resistance And Solidarity From Athens' Syntagma Square

Unoffica translation from the original Greek:


International Update


Dear friends, brothers and sisters,

We are the ones who have kept up the struggle for a month at Syntagma Square in Athens. We organize ourselves by direct democracy, excluding all political parties. Our voice is our daily People's Assembly.

We are indignant because others decide for us without us and mortgage our future; they impose loans that do not benefit the people but, instead, the interests of banks and governments. We are indignant because they terrorize us with the threat of bankruptcy. Not only do they try to instill fear in us but they also try to set the people of different countries against each other.

WE DO NOT WANT ANY MORE SUPPORTING LOANS

WE DO NOT WANT PUBLIC ASSETS TO BE SOLD OFF

WE DO NOT WANT THE MEDIUM-TERM PROGRAM TO PASS

We do not want the socialization of losses and the privatization of profits.

UNITE YOUR VOICE WITH OURS

They are using our sacrifices and yours in order that a few may acquire wealth.

We find ourselves here today. You will be here tomorrow.

We take to the streets every day.

Every Sunday hundreds of thousands of citizens are at the town squares throughout Greece, Syntagma being the core.

The medium-term program will not pass.

Journalists keep silent, we do not.

We urge all the people of Europe and all trade unions to organize solidarity and mutual support actions on the day of the medium-term program vote [in parliament].


ALL TOGETHER LET'S TAKE OUR LIVES INTO OUR OWN HANDS
