On Saturday 17 October, a KNE delegation led by Thodoris Kotsandis, Secretary of the Central Council of KNE, was in Paris and took part in the massive nationwide demonstrations of the youth and the people of France. They marched behind the banners of the KKE and KNE organizations in France, expressing internationalist solidarity with the just struggle of France’s high school and university students and workers for an education and a life in line with contemporary possibilities and needs.
Th. Kotsandis made the following statement during the demonstration:
“From the massive rally in Paris, we are also demonstrating today alongside hundreds of thousands of secondary school and university students, as well as workers, throughout France. We stand with them as we share the same problems: the EU’s policy of military preparation and of class barriers. We are picking up the torch of the great struggles and strengthening the fight in our own country. Together with the school and university students, and workers. Together with the dockworkers and their international strike. In the nationwide general strike in our country on November 25. In the rallies of strudents, teachers and parents on 21 October. For, when the people take to the streets, “cities of light” are born everywhere.”
