23 Oktober: Ondersteunende Optocht (GIO-Greece is everywhere)

23 Oktober: Ondersteunende Optocht (GIO)
Griekenland is overal!

On October 23 we stand side by side with everyone who wants to resist the anti-social budget cuts of this outrageously right-wing government.





FROM ATHENS TO THE HAGUE: STOP THE AUSTERITY MEASURES!

On October 23 we stand side by side with everyone who wants to resist the anti-social budget cuts of this outrageously right-wing government. The bill of the crisis weights down those who have nothing to do with its causes, and who can afford it the least; wage-earners, unemployed, students and migrants. At the same time, they can find money for buying new jet fighters, and hire another 3000 policemen. Further than an extra financial burden for the people, the purchase of the JSF cannot be seen separately from the creation of a new enemy in and outside the country. Islam as well as all non-European migrants are becoming the scapegoat of the eclectic Europe. By doing so, they are trying to hide the responsibilities of the corrupted core of the current state of affairs; corporate lobbies, banks and stock-holders. Moreover, they aim at distracting our attention from the ongoing attack on social centers, according to which the right for individual property outweighs the right for basic housing.

With our supporting march to the Rekening Retour-rally, we want to show what our vision is, we want to speak out loud on an alternative world that we are fighting for.. Instead of a world revolving around profit as it is now, we are struggling for a world in which the needs of people are central. Instead of a world where the fruits of the labor are enjoyed by a small privileged minority, we struggle for a world where those who contribute to the society have a fair share of the products. We opt for a world where the people have a saying in decision-making and their opinion is respected! On this ground, we want to call people to seize the power of their lives. In issues related to the struggle against the budget cuts, we have no trust in the trade-union leaderships. We have even less trust in them on the struggle for a just world..

To promote this we want to build a movement that makes no compromises in the struggle against the austerity measures, fights decisively for justice in the world andseeks international solidarity! Moreover, we are working for a movement based on democratic principle that will not only ensure the participation of as many people as possible, but above all will be fully in the control of these people.

Do you want to join our initiative, work together with us, do you have questions or remarks or do you want to come into contact with us for a different reason?
