Austerity in Europe and Greece- is there a way out?   Speakers Hillel Ticktin

all welcome !


Kostas Vlachopoulos

(Hillel Ticktin has written many articles on  Political Economy over a thirty five year period and is the editor of the journal Critique).

Syriza's election victory on an explicitly anti-austerity platform has the potential to transform not just Greek politics but the political situation throughout Europe. The meeting will look at how the post-2008 capitalist crisis has impacted on Greece, and at the challenges facing Syriza in attempting to implement its anti-austerity policies. We will also be discussing ideas about how to build support for the anti-austerity struggle in Greece.

 
Unite, FBU, UCATT, ASLEF, ATL, CSP, NUT, TSSA, Labour Representation Committee, Searchlight magazine are affiliates of the UK Greek solidarity Campaign.

Aims

The aims of the Glasgow Greek Solidarity Campaign are to demonstrate practical International Solidarity with the working class of Greece at a time when protracted savage cuts have forced many into absolute poverty and destitution. We believe International Solidarity can play a key role in raising awareness of the dire situation the Greek working class has been forced into and help raise the morale of the Greek working class to fight-back and resist the on-going onslaught by the Troika .We welcome the election of a radical Syriza Government but our main focus will be on providing practical solidarity with the working class of Greece.

The Glasgow campaign has started to have organising meetings and is planning two public meetings - one at the end of February and another in April. We hope to have speakers from Greece for both these meetings.

Future plans include a Solidarity Appeal to the press in Glasgow and support for  Medical Aid for Greece. We are supportive of the UK Greek Solidarity Campaign and like them wish to encourage the support of trade union organisations including branches and Trades Union Councils.
