[01] KKE main rally in Athens
Communist Party of Greece (KKE) Secretary General Aleka Papariga,
addressing her party's main rally in Athens on Wednesday evening ahead
of Sunday's general elections, called on working classes to back the
party and stressed that the great question raised in the election
struggle is who will pay for the crisis and for the recovery from the
crisis.
Papariga said that the wager in the elections is that those who caused
the crisis must pay economically and politically for it in the
elections "and not which of the two (mainstream) parties will get the
gold and which the silver medal."
She further said that the two mainstream parties have taken no position
on the demands of the industrialists and bankers, as well as on the
European Union's decisions, that concern new radical restructuring in
the labour market, social security and the state.
Papariga accused the New Democracy and PASOK parties of raising
extortionate and terrorising dilemmas for the working classes, "because
they want new sacrifices, they want subdued people with bowed heads."
Lastly, Papariga appealed to young people from working classes who will
vote for the first time to vote for KKE "to make a start against the
wave of discipline, consensus, subjection and submission to the
powerful."
