[01] SYRIZA leader meets working youth
Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alekos Alavanos on Thursday met
with part-time young workers in banks and with contract workers.
In statements after the meeting, Alavanos made an opening towards the
new voters but also to the undecided voters.
?The prime minister (Costas Karamanlis) directs himself towards the
youth and calls on them to participate in the movement for the �new
patriotism�. This is not a motherland for youth, which gives forest
fire-fighters pharmaceutical masks which cost one euro, This not a
motherland for youth which gives newly appointed professors a salary
which is below the poverty line of the European Union. This is not a
country for youth which puts them to work in the public sector in the
stage programs without social insurance with 400 euros and with the
prospect of dismissal in a few months. This is not a country for youth
which for years now has created and holds hostage thousands of contract
workers. This is not a country for youth which compels them, instead of
doing post-graduate studies and of going to university, to hand out
leaflets in the streets for three euros an hour,? Alavanos said.
