CALLS FOR
SOLIDARITY WITH THE GREEK PEOPLE - WEDNESDAY 11 / SUNDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2015
Dear All
First of all
many and wholeheartedly thanks for your solidarity and mobilizations so far. All together around Europe we have shown that
hope for change in Europe is growing and that a transnational
movement from below seems more tangible than few weeks ago. However the
fight it won’t be easy and it is going to last as the increasing blackmails and
threats against a determined Greek position show.
Last week’s
rallies and protests, in Greece and in Europe, opposing the pressures by EU and
government officials, as well as from rating agencies (Moody’s and Standard
& Poor’s downgraded Greece), were only the beginning of a new phase of our
social and political conflict.
Rallies of
defiance have been called for the 11th and 15th of
February in more than 15 cities in Greece and 11 cities in 8 European
countries (see attachment for links). The first date (Wednesday 11/02) coincides with the emergency
Eurogroup meeting, which will discuss the Greek case, and the second (Sunday
15/02) is the eve of the scheduled Eurogroup meeting and of Dijsselbloem’s
ultimatum for Greece to comply with the current bailout program’s.
We hope that the
calls and solidarity actions will grow even more on Greek and international
level and we encourage you to do your best in turning the conflict over Greece
in a change for all Europe and beyond.
In Solidarity
for All’s facebook international page https://www.facebook.com/sol4all
you can find updates about the activities of the grassroots solidarity movement
in Greece and of the international solidarity groups. We would be happy to see
your updates in the page, too.
Last but not
least, we attach the latest report of Solidarity for All, concerning the
effects of the crisis and the bailout memoranda in Greece the last six years,
but mainly the development and reach of the grassroots solidarity movement, as
a paradigm of self-organisation against the paradigm the political and economic
elites in Europe wanted to make of Greece.
Feel free to
disseminate widely and do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
in solidarity
