Vive la révolte des jeunes et la lutte des travailleurs de Grèce A bas le gouvernement assassin

L’assassinat le 6 décembre d’un jeune de 15 ans par un policier a déclenché une immense vague de colère dans toute la Grèce. Tous les témoins ont accusé le policier d’avoir tiré sur un groupe de jeunes de sang froid. Seul le gouvernement défend la thèse de la « légitime défense ». Depuis le 6 décembre, les manifestations succèdent aux manifestations dans toutes les villes de Grèce. Les cibles des manifestants, ce sont les forces de l’ordre, qui jouissent d’une totale impunité, les locaux du parti au pouvoir, un parti que les forces de gauche qualifient de monarco-fasciste, les banques, coresponsables...

A FIANCO DELLA LOTTA DEL POPOLO GRECO CONTRO LA REAZIONE!

La profonda crisi che ha colpito il sistema capitalistico viene fatta pagare dalla borghesia ai proletari e alle masse popolari. I padroni vogliono che le masse popolari si rassegnino a subire in silenzio. Quando i proletari  si ribellano alla prospettiva della miseria e dello sfruttamento la borghesia ricorre alla repressione e all'assassinio legalizzato. E' la storia della repressione che ha insanguinato le piazze dell'Italia "democratica" negli ultimi 60 anni, è quanto sta accadendo in Grecia con il brutale assassinio di ANDREAS GRIGOROPOULOS, di 15 anni. Ma stanno trovando pane...

Some of this criticism was frankly unscrupulous, and a great deal of it was based on unjustified assumptions that the Soviet authorities had been guilty of any and every abuse; but much of it was made in good...
