ANTARSYA (Anticapitalist Left Cooperation for the Overthrow, the anti-capitalist front of the Greek Left) expresses its unreserved support and solidarity to the working class of South-Africa. The working class will always remember and honor the miners who were assassinated during their strike.
On the 10th of August, in the city of Marikana, over 3,000 miners went on strike demanding pay raises. The multinational company «Lonmin», the third greatest metal-mining company in the world, with immense profits, assures that the strike is declared illegal. The company threatens to fire the strikers, sets up a strikebreaking mechanism and asks for police intervention. The police, following the company's appeals, assassinated 36 workers and wounds more than 80.
