Message of Solidarity with 20 February 2013 General Strike
Dear Colleagues of the Greek Trade Union Organisations,
On behalf of CGTP-IN and the Portuguese workers we represent, we extend a message of strong solidarity to your organisations and workers in your 24 hours strike taking place today in defence of the right to collective bargaining and against the brutal attack of big business, the Greek government and the Troika, through their economic and social policies, putting the burden of the crisis on the workers and peoples’ shoulders.
We are fully behind your struggle, since we know from our own situation in Portugal how necessary it is to fight back and defeat these violent ultraliberal measures and policies.
We need to enhance workers’ class-based struggles in our respective countries, in Europe and globally, to secure a change of course that paves the way for the end of exploitation, for justice and social progress.
Fraternal Solidarity

International Relations Secretary
