  • [01] Papariga rejects rival's request for talks on univ. reforms

    Communist Party of Greece (KKE) General Secretary Aleka Papariga on Tuesday rejected a request for a meeting by Coalition of the Left (Synaspismos) President Alekos Alavanos to discuss the latest developments in the education sector, in the wake of particularly violent incidents during last week's protests in central Athens against the government reforms.

    In a letter addressed to Alavanos, Papariga said a meeting of political party leaders on the subject has nothing more to offer than "maybe a suspicion that an effort is being made to exploit the situation for their own benefit."

    Papariga also added that every political force can support the students' movement (against the reforms) by guarding it against hooded individuals, literally or not, who wish to infiltrate its ranks.

    The KKE leader also referred to her party's actions against EU directives and regulations regarding anti-terror laws, which she charged target "popular mass movements and peoples in general."

    Papariga praised the fact, as she added, that the movement against higher education reforms has not been identified, "to the degree the government would have liked, with the activities of a hooded group of people."

    She added characteristically that such trouble-makers use tactics that undermine the movement, "and support both the plans of the government and of those who wish to adopt anti-popular measures to silence the people's movement by imposing an atmosphere of fatalism and defeatism."

    Alavanos requested and was granted a meeting with President of the Republic Karolos Papoulias last week to air his party's views on education reform. He said similar meetings with party leaders will be requested.
