Hunger

Image from the hunger strike of 300 worker immigrants more than a year ago in Greece. At that time, the far right tried to capitalise on the issue, blaming the immigrants for the high levels of unemployment in Greece.

 

Now, it is more evident than ever that the same reasons which "pushed" these 300 souls on such an extreme struggle, are those experienced by millions of Greeks.

 

We are losing our civil rights. We do not have our own government. We are becoming imprisoned. We are becoming refugees in our own country.

 

Now, it seems, there are but two choices left: either we become immigrants and we are treated as such, or we struggle. We struggle, like the 300 hunger strikers.
