.Following the news of the multiple terrorist attacks in London, SYNASPISMOS issued the following statement:
SYN expresses its abhorrence of the bloody terrorist attacks in London, which targeted unsuspecting innocent civilians. We extend our unreserved solidarity to the victims’ families and the wounded as well as to the British people.
We unequivocally condemn such acts. They have nothing in common with the people’s vision for liberation and their struggles for independence and human rights. On the contrary, they reinforce the great powers’ options of violent suppression. They favor the plans to undermine and marginalize the broad and multiform movement against the war and neoliberal globalization, which reaffirmed its promising presence in Edinburgh in the last few days on the occasion of the G8 Summit.
We have to intensify our joint struggles, all the peoples of Europe and the world, in order to uproot the causes that nurture terrorism, which means: policies of peace instead of war, fighting to limit inequalities instead of broadening them, defending political and social rights instead of curbing them.
Political Secretariat member Panos Trigazis, responsible for Foreign Policy, made a statement on 8 July 2005, including the following proposal:
“We call on the Greek government, utilizing its current position as President of the UN Security Council, to take the initiative for an international conference on the Middle East, which would have at its core the just solution of the Palestinian issue and the scheduling of a process for the restoration of the independence of Iraq”.
