A-Infos (en) Greece, Our grandparents refugees, migrants our fathers, we racists? [machine translation]

Text of the Trade Union Libertaria of Thessaloniki , published on the occasion of the 
racist decision of the Association of Parents of School Oreokastro , to close the village 
school, if they enroll in it the children of immigrants and refugees they live in the 
area. ---- On Tuesday 13 September the statement of the Association of Parents of School 
Oreokastro, in which there was talk of closing the school in the event that students are 
immigrants enroll, or if it was announced these students make use of the school building. 
This decision followed the city council of Oreokastro, and was strongly supported by both 
the mayor and councilors and by who witnessed the session of the council, who walk 
spreading their racist and far - right delusions. Since a municipal authority is not 
competent to indicate who can and who can not attend classes in a school, the purpose of 
such decisions is to generate hostility and conservative hysterics before any decision is 
made and any action is taken.

We live together, work together: Migration was and remains a constant need for the 
oppressed, the workers, to demand a better life. In the current situation many communities 
of people belonging to various ethnic groups uprooted they are forced to pile up in 
detention centers and waiting, located around cities.

It is not the first time living children of refugees and immigrants here. In the territory 
of the Greek State the children of immigrants from second and third generation are 
classmates and neighbors of ours for many years. Life with men whose national and 
religious identity is different is a problem only for supporters of fascist ideas.

"How are we going to save us from the" freedom "of our slavery and ideas" patriots "of 
traitors? And when (we'll save) of the gods of atheists and caníbalos? "

?ostas Varnalis

Fascist and racist threats, either by fear or by words of stupidity and shallow populism, 
nationalism reminiscent only, which we are reluctant and oppose taking a class approach. 
We will not leave unanswered such statements. We call teachers, parents, and students 
Oreokastro to condemn these racist statements.
