These phenomena are causing very serious damage due to the lack of care for the territory, prevention and civil protection.

Those who pay the consequences of the policies that cause the devastation of the land and serious damage to health are the workers and the popular classes, who are more defenseless than anyone else against these meteorological phenomena, which are the result of capital’s aggression against nature, the consumption of the land and the theft of the territories.

These are not unforeseeable accidents, but the consequences of the political decisions of capital and the bosses.

We are at your side in your pain and rage.

The dismantling of the industries that are strategic for the country is one of the objectives that the European governments are pursuing in the logic of the international division of labour, which gives only some countries the possibility to maintain their own industrial and productive infrastructure, favours the monopolistic transnational companies and profoundly changes the face of the countries.

Fighting against the dismantling of LARKO, for the defence of its production, for the protection of the income of the families and the population living around the production site, means opposing the plans of the European capitalists and the European Union to reduce Greece to a country of services and tourism, without an industrial and productive fabric to give it autonomy and wealth. This is the same process that has started in other countries, such as the steel industry in Italy, which is wiping out historical production or literally handing it over to unscrupulous multinationals.

European workers, organised in militant, class-based unions, are at the gates of LARCO alongside the workers in struggle.

Together we are unbeatable.

EUROF calls for the withdrawal of the bills on the institutional future of New Caledonia. These bills are a return to the tried and tested practice of placing the Kanak people in a minority in their own country, to the benefit of the local right wing who would like to have a majority in their favour.

No change should be made by a unilateral decision of the state without a global agreement between the local political forces. EUROF demands the release and dropping of charges against those accused in the current mobilisations and we give our full support to the Kanak people in struggle and the trade unions fighting alongside them.

The ongoing attack in Greece is no different from the attack that all European governments are carrying out against the workers and people of the EU countries.

The era of austerity is rapidly returning, the European Commission’s continuous interest rate hikes are strangling families, especially those with mortgages and house rents to pay. Rises in the cost of basic necessities are rampant, leaving wages and salaries unable to make ends meet.

At the same time, millions are being spent on military support for Ukraine, taking it away from the needs of the working and grass-roots classes.

LONG LIVE THE GENERAL STRIKE ON 21 SEPTEMBER IN GREECE!
WE FIGHT WITH THE PEOPLE OF GREECE AND THE WORKERS OF GREECE!
DOWN WITH ARMS, UP WITH WAGES!
