A-Infos (en) Greece, Landand & Freedom:[Larissa]The November 17th Uprising Remains Alive (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

In November 1973, perhaps the most important uprising in the country's 
recent post-democratic history took place. 52 years ago, society emerged 
from the dictatorship through the struggle for a life with dignity and 
freedom. The Polytechnic University uprising was the trigger for the 
beginning of social and class struggles, for the building of student 
movements, for their radicalization and organization from below. A 
trigger that was to pave the way for the uprising in December 2008.
Today, half a century later, it seems that nothing has changed from the 
era before that day. Today, the regime of terrorism and fear from the 
state and power plays a leading role in the lives of the plebeians every 
day. Their effort to drain any trace of freedom, to suppress the 
anxieties of the people and to degrade the value of life to the maximum 
has been magnified by inhumane policies in all fields. The placement of 
police inside universities and the criminalization of free spaces within 
them, the constant targeting of students, -three because of their ideas, 
the devaluation of the National Health System, the selling off of public 
goods to their big business friends, the establishment of the 13-hour 
workday are just a few of the suffering they generously offer us.

We live in an era where professors are prosecuted with disciplinary 
measures because they dare to bring to light and openly and publicly 
unfold the shabby educational system that the state and capital have 
built, doctors are punished in their attempt to make known the 
destruction of the public health system, a student is sentenced to 14 
months in prison for writing a slogan of solidarity with Palestine on 
the university wall.

We live in an era where in one of the country's greatest crimes, that of 
the Tempi, the responsible rulers remain unpunished with the decision 
not to prosecute them coming from themselves.

We live in an era where even the slightest movement to assert their 
rights from below finds before it the cruel and non-negotiable face of 
the state and power.

In the face of their war, the impoverishment of our lives, their thirst 
for the subjugation of the fighters, their mania to disorient the social 
body from any sensitivity, freedom and the need for a life with dignity, 
we respond with organization and struggle. From the Polytechnic 
Uprising, the student protests of '95, the uprising of '08, the events 
of the rectorate of '22 and all the struggles that have been and will be 
given in the future, we too stand in our turn on the street and with the 
thought that this world can change.
