[01] KKE on social dialogue
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stressed in an announcement on
Friday that the beginning of social dialogue "signals the passing to a
new phase of the attack by the plutocracy and the European Union on the
social security and pensioning rights of working people."
"The New Democracy (ND) party government, in cooperation with the
representatives of capital, is setting up the "social dialogue" aiming
at securing the consent of working people for a previously-decided
antipopular policy that includes: the implementation of the previous
antilabour laws of the ND and PASOK governments, supplemented with new
measures, that is demanded by the plutocracy and promoted by the EU,
with the first target being young people and women in the direction of:
increasing pensioning age limits and working people's contributions.
Their separation according to age. The decrease in pensions and new
exemptions for plutocracy even from its minimum contributions. This
direction is being implemented all over the EU."
KKE added that the participation in the beginning of the "social
dialogue" of the leaderships of the General Confederation of Workers of
Greece (GSEE) and the Civil Servants Supreme Administrative Council
(ADEDY) contrasts with the interests of the working class. "Their
steadfast position in favour of class consensus and the support they
provided for previous anti-social security laws reveals their role."
