During the last days we experienced unbelievable
developments, operated behind the curtain and on the backs of the Greek people.
Their aim is to prevent the expression of popular verdict.
Mr Papandreou is forced, by popular mobilization, to leave the Maximou House*.
Nevertheless, he surely must feel relieved by the result of the background
negotiations.
The Prime Minister who secretly submitted us under the powers of the IMF and
agreed on loan agreements of subordination, without bringing them to the
Parliament, will finally not put his choices under popular judgement. He will
just carry them to the next PM.
Mr Samaras started retreating from his earlier positions even sooner than what
we expected. He accepted the new loan agreement, which he previously
criticized. He now accepts the plights of the new hard measures that this
agreement brings. In 24 hours he truned from “the masks have dropped” to “I'm
determined to help”.
The parties which lead the country to bankruptcy through their single-party
majoritarian governments, now join their failures, to save us. Actually, they
take co-responsibility of subordination, social dissolution and giving away of
sovereignty.>> read the entire statement

Today the people speak. And when the people speak, not many
words are necessary. We are 11 million and they are 154 - if they are 154. The
popular anger has now become a river that is not turning back.
Today two kinds of Greece are confronting each other: Greece of subordination
and misery, Greece of corruption cartels and backstage consultations, and Greece
ofpride, dignity, social cohesion and solidarity. This new Greece, a Greece of
dignity will win over the oligarchs and send Papandreou's government to the
dustbin of history.
We deserve a better Greece. We deserve a better perspective, a better future for
us andour children.
We are confident that the Greek people are able to take things into their own
hands and give a perspective of hope.
The aim of the visit was
for the left wing parties of the Mediterranean to coordinate the struggles of
the working people of the European South in order to exit the present crisis.
