Communist Party statement regarding the presence of the riot police in Lefkimmi

The arrival of the riot police (MAT) in Lefkimmi today, Tuesday 26th June, gives yet another indication of what the SYRIZA-ANEL government means when it talks about 'normality'!

The 'post-memorandum' period that is coming, the 'development' which will supposedly benefit us all is taking shape in the MAT vans that have been on our island since early this morning to confront the 'enemy' and the rights of Lefkimmi residents!

It is taking shape with the truncheons of repression getting ready in order to 'license' the Lefkimmi landfill and provide a 'solution' to the problem created by the politics of competition and entrepreneurship championed by this government and all the others before it!

The opening of the Lefkimmi landfill by force - which has been judged UNSUITABLE for the last 10 years - shows the SYRIZA-ANEL government's determination along with that of the Regional Administration and the Municipality
to continue unimpeded with the politics of big business, capital and the EU which are crushing the lives of the workers and their families.

The continued use of the oversaturated Temploni landfill is also a crime against the people!

THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE!

THE RIOT POLICE BEAT THE WORKERS WITH THEIR TRUNCHEONS AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE BOSSES!

The riot police and any other form of repression must leave Lefkimmi now!
