A-Infos (en) Greece, APO. Land & Freedom: Announcement in view of the strike mobilization on 28/2 (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

It was not an accident, it was another STATE-CAPITALIST CRIME No more 
blood on the altar of profit ---- A year has passed since the fatal 
crash in Tempe. The tragic train accident was another state murder. It 
was mathematically a prescribed crime for which people, train passengers 
and workers, were to pay with their own lives. ---- Five months ago, the 
waters from the floods in the area of Thessaly entered the basements of 
the Domokos station, rendering useless the electromechanical equipment 
that regulated signaling and remote control not only on the flooded 
section of the line (Domokos-Larissa), but also on the "dry" one. 
Lianokladi-Domokos section. This means that those points continue to 
operate WITHOUT signaling and remote control, while at the parliamentary 
inquiry committee (1/2/24) the president of OSE, P. Terezakis, stated 
that everything is working "normally" except for the section from Domoko 
to Larissa which was destroyed by the bad weather Daniel - from Menidi 
to Thessaloniki and from Thessaloniki to Strymonas and Promahonas.

The workers were constantly warning. With the only weapon they have in 
their hands, the strike, they tried to highlight the problems that have 
existed for a long time in the railway network, while in its 
announcements the train drivers' union talked about the criminal 
conditions that prevail on the railway lines, clearly stating that it is 
only a matter of time before something fatal happens. The daily small 
accidents, the constant delays, the stops at dead spots were events that 
happened on many train routes and especially on long routes like the 
Athens-Thessaloniki one. These constant danger signs were seen by all, 
but the indifference of governments under the guise of consolidating 
transport services and saving instead of improving transport, constantly 
degraded them by reducing staff, not maintaining the machines and not 
strengthening the infrastructure with modern media, which led to this 
tragic end.

In recent years, the attack of the state and capital on the poor social 
strata has manifested itself with particular intensity, especially in 
the Greek area. The worsening of social inequalities, the attack on 
labor rights, the devaluing of human life, the intensification of work, 
the expansion of social control by the State and governance through 
repression are indicative of some of the dominant aspects of today's 
capitalist system, a of "modern totalitarianism" that forms a new 
context in the relations between capital and labor, between the State 
and the social base.

The management and destructive policies implemented in recent years as 
in other cases have led to the death of innocent people. As in the 
pandemic with the loss of thousands of our fellow human beings and the 
non-hiring of permanent staff of doctors, E.K.A.B. nurses, paramedics, 
cleaners, etc. which forces the dissolution of the E.S.Y. through its 
systematic and intensifying understaffing and underfunding to this day, 
the catastrophic floods in Thessaly and the fires every summer, as well 
as the thousands of dead who die daily on the borders, as well as the 
hundreds of labor accidents and the daily femicides. A system and a 
State that operates on the basis of profit and the interests of the 
elite, constantly commits crimes against the social base, workers.

For us, solidarity, collective struggles from below and class 
organization are our weapons against the encroachment of the State and 
capitalism that attack all social fields. Therefore, against the extreme 
underestimation of human life, let us promote solidarity and mutual aid, 
the universal collective values of freedom and equality. We stand by the 
families of the victims who, one year later, are demanding justice. We 
are fighting for meaningful measures to prevent and protect life. In the 
face of the usurpation of our labor rights and the deterioration of 
working and living conditions, let us propose grassroots organization 
and the struggle to win what is taken from us every day with so much 
violence and repression. To organize side by side in all fields, to 
fight, to respond.

Solidarity to:

- Hospital doctors fighting against the dismantling of the public health 
system

- Educators and students who are fighting against the privatization of 
the educational system & the dismissed employee of the EKPA due to his 
participation in a symbolic action by blocking tele-examinations for 2 
hours in response to the violation of article 16 but also to the 
decision of EKPA to conduct remote examinations, in order to curb the 
student protests

- Dismissed male and female workers at TaskUs Thessaloniki

- Dismissed workers at EKETA Thessaloniki

- Farmers and breeders who are escalating their mobilizations against 
the unbearable increase in the cost of production which results in the 
abandonment of their lands and units and their massive impoverishment

We call for a strike mobilization on Wednesday 28/2/24 at 10.30 in Kamara

DON'T FORGET THE STATE - CAPITALIST CRIMES.

  THEY ARE NOT ACCIDENTS - WE HAVE NO DECEPTIVES
