ANTARSIA: 'We will not allow threats against the minority and nationalist divisions!'
ANTARSİA Party reacted to the statements made by Dora Bakoyanni during her visit to the Rhodope province.
In a statement made by the party, "Dora Bakoyanni's speech in a village in (Western) Thrace, addressed to Minority citizens, said that if they do not vote for New Democracy (ND), 'things will be very difficult' for them. While clearly revealing the anti-democratic and nationalist character of the party, it also revealed the diachronic oppression of religious, linguistic and ethnic minorities by the Greek state.” statements were included.
Stating that the minority in Western Thrace should turn their backs on all political parties and their mediators who have been using and blackmailing them for years, the statement said, "ANTARSIA recognizes all minorities the right to define themselves religiously and ethnically and does not negotiate their equality and rights." it was said.
The following statements were included in the statement:
“Members of the Minority in (Western) Thrace, no matter how they define themselves religiously and ethnically, can live in fraternity with the citizens of the majority and can be a bridge between us and the Turkish people and other neighboring peoples against the bourgeois states and imperialists who want to use them for their own competition.
Let's fight together, together with the whole working class and youth, fraternally, against governments and the ruling class, against nationalism and discrimination, for the common rights of all workers, for peace and freedom.”
