The mass murder of infants and women by the Greek state outside the island Farmakonisi is not an individual incident and absolutely not a tragedy, since ignorance is required for a tragedy to happen. It is one more result of the conscious murderous policy of Greece concerning the borders. Favored and motivated by the European Union policy of “Fortress Europe”, Dublin II Treaty, the formation of FRONTEX, Greece has installed a murderous mechanism in land and sea, whose stated target is in the best case the torture and in the worst the death of immigrants travelling towards Europe.
In this framework the Nazi statements of the Greek Prime Minister on “reclamation of the cities” by the immigrants are being recorded as well as the proclamation that the war against immigration is top priority of the Greek presidency in the EU. In this framework the statements of the Chief of the Greek police and many ministers who invite others to make “immigrants lives unbearable” are being recorded. In this framework the humanoid consultant of the Minister of Health shouts that “we need dead people in the borders” is being recorded. In this framework the detention centers and the cooperation of police and the Golden Dawn Nazi murderers are being recorded.
In this framework the Greek state has installed barbaric hordes of uniformed paid killers in the borders, like the men of the Coast Guard who threw infants and women in the sea near Farmakonisi, an action that has to be brought in front of Justice.
We must end with the fairy tale of “small Greece” that is being “forced” or “abandoned” by the “big ones”. Greece is a country-murderer, a state-bouncer, which plays leading part in Europe’s murderous racist and anti-migration politics. Greece is one country in the western world that has taken part and continues to take part in all the wars and military interventions during the previous years, keeps occupying military forces in different parts of the world and contributes in poverty and misery of the people that are being murdered when they seek for a better life.
The Greek state has to be stigmatized and isolated in a global scale and also the international unions and organizations that support and invest on the murders of the Greek state, such as the European Union, have to be denounced.
The Greek society owe to their selves to erase this shame by taking direct, massive and effective action in order to stop this barbaric and inhuman strategy.
We make a call out to all workers’ unions and all organizations of the anticapitalistic and antiracist movement for immediate coordination in order to move fast for actions against the fascist, murderous politics of the Greek state and one central demonstration on the same issue.
We make an appeal for wide spread of the word on an international level in order to denounce the strategies of the Greek state and the European Union who supports and finances Greece.
