6th week of strikes of teachers of the primary schools

The primary schools' teachers in Greece decided to continue their strike for their 6th week. The strike has started on September 18th.

The Greek Primary Teachers Federation (DOE) demands rises in salaries and stop of the privatization of education. The teachers are against the, so-called, “evaluation system” and criticize the new school programs and books.

The same time over a thousand of high schools (over the 75% of high schools in Athens-Attica) and some Universities are under occupation.

The government answered with the brutal police attacks to the massive demonstrations. The police used chemicals against the demonstrators.

It is obvious that only the UNITED MASSIVE struggle can lead to the victory.

The revisionist so-called "Communist" Party of Greece, after failing to prevent the strikes, tried again to break people's unity by organizing separate demonstrations. It's actions have been condemned by the majority of the strikers.

The Movement for the Reorganisation of the Communist Party of Greece 1918-55 supports the struggle of the teachers and the students. Greets the great massive demonstrations and condemns the use of violence from the reactionary Karamanlis' government.
