[01] Papariga urges workers to fight pension reforms
Greek Communist Party (KKE) General Secretary Aleka Papariga called on
workers to join forces and avert the tabling of the draft law for
pension system reform to Parliament speaking during her one-day visit
to Larisa, central Greece on Thursday. The general strike called for
December 12 can only be the beginning in the workers' struggle against
the government's proposed reforms, stressed Papariga, adding that the
much-advertised measures in support of working mothers in essence
undermine motherhood. Papariga accused the government of leading
social insurance funds to bankruptcy and favoring the further
privatization of the healthcare sector. She also expressed opposition
to public administration reforms and an election law promoted by the
government.
