The International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE issued a statement on the strike of thousands of miners in Georgia, which reads as follows:
“The KKE expresses its solidarity with the thousands of striking miners in Georgia.
For almost two weeks now, 3.5 thousand miners in the city of Chiatura in Georgia have been on strike against the inhuman working conditions they experience, while demanding an increase in their wages.
Their strike has been faced with the intransigence of the employers and the indifference of the bourgeois government.
30 years after the overthrow of socialism and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, workers in Georgia are also experiencing all the impasses of the capitalist mode of production, including the deterioration of their working conditions, ‘accidents’ at the workplace, and impoverishment.
The KKE expresses its full solidarity with the striking workers in Georgia and demands that their just demands be met!”
