Formal protest to the Greek Consulate in Melbourne
A formal protest was carried out in the Greek General Consulate in Melbourne, Australia yesterday morning by a delegation of trade unionists which gave a complaint resolution of the Federation of Greek Progressive Labour Associations of Australia. Moreover solidarity messages to the struggle of the steelworkers have been expressed by a number of bodies of the trade union movement of Australia.
On Monday a formal protest took place in the Greek embassy in London, organised by Greek immigrants, the organisations of KKE and KNE (Communist Party of Greece and Communist Youth of Greece). A delegation from the trade union RMT (Workers in transportations, railroads, ships) participated and delivered a letter of complaint signed by the General Secretary of the trade union Bob Crow, to the Greek ambassador.
Among the attendants were friends and members of Tunteh of Iran (Illegal Communist Party), from the “Etachind” movement in Tunisia, the co-ordinator of the Communist Parties in Britain and the Women's Committee, members of the Union of Communist Youth of Cyprus. In the end the protesters posted on the door complaints their resolutions and letters of complaint as the embassy refused to receive them, with the pretense of being closed, though they had time to call the British police to supposedly … restore order.
