SOLIDARITY WITH THE CP OF EGYPT AND THE EGYPTIAN WORKING CLASS
The Communist Party of the Peoples of Spain (PCPE) after being informed of the developments happened in the last days in several cities of Egypt, especially in Almahalla Alkobra, wants to express its firmest solidarity with the Egyptian workers and with the Communist Party of Egypt.
We have been informed of a high degree of repression against demonstrators and workers on strike, who demanded fair and basic labour rights. The Egyptian police, interested in silencing the workers’ and popular mobilization, has even provoked the death of, at least, two youngsters, and hundreds of demonstrators have been wounded and arrested.
We know that the capitalist forces, in Egypt and elsewhere in the world, tremble when the working class and the popular strata are able to organize in order to raise their demands, so they use every repressive mean at hand, even murder. The Communist Party of Egypt, as the vanguard organization of the Egyptian workers, is especially suffering the attacks from the Egyptian state.
Therefore, we demand respect to the right of the Egyptian workers to exert the necessary pressure and mobilization measures for the conquest of their legitimate social, economic and political rights, without the manipulation, criminalization or repression of those actions.
LONG LIVE THE STRUGGLE OF THE EGYPTIAN WORKING CLASS!
LONG LIVE THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF EGYPT!
