“The Polytechnic, 50 years later, is a source of inspiration, a support for current and future struggles. His messages are timely, they are timeless. Today the slogan “Bread-Education-Freedom” is met with the struggles of workers, self-employed professional traders, scientists, youth, against precision, against the government policy of overtaxing the weak, in the fight against auctions, for modern Education, for Health of modern popular needs.

At the same time, the slogan “Out with the USA” that the students and the people shouted in November ’73, “Out with NATO, Out with the bases”, is timely and gives the message against imperialist interventions and our country’s participation in wars . As is happening today, in the struggle, in the solidarity expressed by the Greek people and the youth towards the Palestinian people, against the murderous state of Israel, against this conqueror of the Palestinian territories, the murderer of civilians, whom the Greek government supports, gives “earth and water” to all these murderers of the peoples” declared the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoubas, during the march for the 50th anniversary of the Polytechnic uprising.

“We encounter these messages today, we shout them on the streets of the struggle, we will shout them forever,” said D. Koutsoubas, concluding his statement.
