The announcement of the workers of AUGIS
“Sudden demise
Right now, Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at 4 pm on the workplaces of Avgi on Deligiorgi avenue, out of the blue and with none session, we had been knowledgeable that the day by day sheet of the newspaper of the Left, which has been revealed since 1952, will now not be held on the newsstands. The one different time this occurred once more was one recognized in historical past: the junta.
A fictional headline of a day by day DAWN that may by no means be revealed once more would write of a “sudden demise primarily based on the doctrine of SHOCK”
A consultant of the Administration cited the intense monetary issues of the highly effective shareholder of SYRIZA as the rationale for the closure of the day by day version, informing on the similar time that in the interim each effort shall be made to soak up as many staff as potential on the newspaper’s web site and the Sunday paper. No monetary assertion, no knowledge presentation, no planning or sustainability plan.
As if the 20 minutes it took to tell the consultant of the administration had been equal to the 72 years of the heavy historical past of AUGIS
The choice to shut, i.e. the choice to not intervene day by day journalistically the voice of the left, is political. AVGI at all times had monetary issues and at all times survived. The political management of the center social gathering of the Govt Bureau, a physique of questionable legitimacy as a way to make this determination, carved the letters on the tombstone.
Confronted with the historic and political deadlock with a heavy consciousness of our historical past, the employees have determined to announce 24-hour repeated strikes beginning tomorrow, Wednesday 26/06, with a central request to droop the choice to shut the day by day version. On the similar time, we ask for the safeguarding of all jobs, the cost of our accruals, which over time attain 300,000 euros, in addition to a direct assembly with the president of the social gathering, Stefanos Kasselakis.
We name on the readers and buddies of the newspaper, the world of the left, the unions and social organizations, the employees and the unemployed, to face in solidarity and assist the struggle we’re beginning to revoke the choice to shut AUGIS.
