The spirit of international resistance ran through the meetings, with much discussion of the turmoil and fightback in Greece.

The sixth full one-day general strike this year was to rock Greece on Thursday of this week.

A general strike brought Greece to a halt on Tuesday.

Greece is in revolt over attempts to make the working class pay for the economic crisis with huge cuts to public spending.

The revolt against the IMF-EU austerity package in Greece escalated with two general strikes in May.

The price of the so-called "rescue" of Greece is massive austerity for working people. This is coming up against resistance from the most militant working class in Europe.

Greek workers are at the forefront of resistance to the world’s rulers’ plans to make ordinary people suffer for capitalism’s crisis. The country’s government is pushing through vicious austerity measures at the behest of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.

Two thousand people braved lashing rain to march to the Dail (parliament) in Dublin, southern Ireland, on Tuesday to protest at the Bank Bail-Out.

The mass resistance to the cuts being imposed by the Greek government and the International Monet­ary Fund (IMF) is shaking the international ruling class. But it needs to escalate rapidly if workers are to win.

‘We went to the ERT national TV channel because we heard the minister of education was going to be on a live programme to talk about the new education law.

The movement against the austerity measures being imposed on the Greek people is gaining momentum – despite the deaths of three bank workers during a protest last week.

The European Union (EU) and IMF are ready to hand another $1 trillion to the bankers while demanding an intensification of the assault on Greek workers.
