Today we have witnessed the endless and unimaginable brutality used by the Government in order to suppress any healthy reaction from citizens who resist on plans from foreign and local capitalists and stick their servants (government) in the country.
Dozens injured - hit by the riot police protesters were taken by ambulance or came alone in our hospital. Most of them with head injuries. Among the 30-year old protester who came in a heavy situation with huge epidural hematoma. At the time he is on surgery from our colleagues who are fighting to save his life.
We condemn the police brutality and arbitrariness.
We condemn all members of the Greek government and the prime minister for the assassination attempt against certain of our fellow citizens who are in serious condition and risk his life, but also against all the other protesters.
The violence and repression against the people who are resisting have short legs.
The government, the brazen tactics of rape of all popular rights necessary for survival, but with the brutal violence that directly threatens the lives of our fellow citizens, the only thing is to grow in defiance of the decision we have taken to fight to the bitter end to have for our people bread, education and freedom.
Will not rest until the guilty punishment of attempted murder!
Will not rest until our people win his rights!
