Repression against the KKE

Dear comrades,

We express our profound solidarity with the Communist Party of Greece as it faces attacks and repression by the Greek government. We salute your courage and determination to mobilise in a safe manner throughout Greece to commemorate the 47th anniversary of the Polytechnic and Athens workers’ uprising against the military junta.

The covid pandemic has exposed the precarious nature of the life experienced by the working class and the poor. It has exposed the real and deep crisis of funding and the gross inequality in public health and private health services, which is driven by greed and corporate profits.

The structural crisis of the system continues to take a heavy toll on the lives and well-being of billions of workers, the poor and peasants throughout the capitalist-organised economies.

We call for an end to the repression of the Communist Party of Greece and trade union activists. We have sent a letter of protest to the Greek Embassy in Dublin and to elected representatives demanding that they raise this matter with the Irish state.   

Yours in solidarity,

Eugene Mc Cartan,

General Secretary
