“We are disgusted at the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank for throwing the burden on the shoulders of the poorest and weakest of society, putting exhausting taxes to the middle class, reducing pensions and wages and pushing society into uncertainty. We augur that, notwithstanding all this pressure and blackmail, the Greeks will vote NO to more austerity measures that are destroying their country,” a spokesperson for the movement said.

“We note with disappointment that the Maltese government has shown its support to the troika’s push for measures detrimental to Greek society and economy and has joined others in showing contempt for the Greek democratic process. In contrast to this, today we are here to show our stance in favour of a democratic Europe which values social justice.”

 A member of the Greek community in Malta said that he was forced to immigrate because of the devastating situation in his country. “The citizens do not deserve more lies. We demand the truth from the politicians we chose to represent us. Europe means solidarity, respect and democracy,” he said.
