We, national and provincial deputies, from the Partido de Trabajadores Socialistas (PTS), part of the FIT, Frente de Izquierda y de los Trabajadores (Left and Workers’ Front) from Argentina, demand the immediate release and dropping of all the charges against the protesters.

We express our solidarity with the thousands of demonstrators who gathered in Syntagma Square in Athens to oppose the austerity measures imposed on the people of Greece. We stand by those who joined the strike called by the civil servants federation (ADEDY) when the majority of Syriza deputies and the right-wing pro-austerity parties like New Democracy and To Potami, where inside the Parliament approving the agreement.

We condemn the brutal repression by riot police against young activists and workers, and we also demand the dropping of all the charges against the 50 demonstrators.

Against the Criminalization of Opinion and in Defense of Our Right to Support Palestine: We Must Stand Up!

In France, the repression of Palestine supporters is escalating. A conference by La France Insoumise (LFI) has been banned; a union leader has been arrested and charged for speaking out for Palestine; court cases have increased against those who “condone terrorism”; and the state has stepped up its “anti-terrorism” efforts. In the face of all this, we must stand together.
