The PEO denounces the violence exercised against PAME trade unionists and demonstrators who were taking part in the demonstration to honor 17 November 1973 student uprising when large numbers of security forces used chemicals and violently struck protesting workers, students and pensioners without any provocation whatsoever.
We consider the use of any health protection measures against the pandemic as a pretext to undermine democratic freedoms and rights, is both unacceptable and reprehensible.
We express our solidarity with PAME and the working people in Greece and join our voice for the respect of democratic and trade union rights and freedoms.
