The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) reports that workers' and pensioners’ unions, unions of small tradespeople, women’s associations and students’ unions demonstrated on Wednesday, December 11 in Syntagma square in Athens to express their opposition to a state budget “of excessive taxation and war spending”.


They put forward their demands for their work and their lives and against the plundering of the workers’ and people’s income through taxes, which will be increased by the state budget for 2025 in order to secure huge amounts of money, grants and other privileges for big business groups.


Following the mass general strike on November 20 and the demonstration on December 4 against the anti-labour bill on the minimum wage, "the trade unions continue to struggle for the increase of wages and pensions, collective labour agreements, measures to protect Greece from high prices and the disengagement of Greece from the imperialist killing machine of NATO and the EU, under the slogan “Give money for wages, health and education - Greece out of the slaughterhouses of war!”."
