At this year’s IMT World School, held in Greece, Socialist Appeal supporter and member of SYRIZA London, Stella Christou, spoke to Stamatis Karagiannopoulos, member of the Communist Tendency of SYRIZA, about the economic, social, and political situation facing workers and youth in Greece today. We publish here a transcipt of this interview.

On 29th July, Socialist Appeal supporters Lee McNeish and Gavin Jackson visited the occupied headquarters of the Greek public broadcaster ERT in Athens, which – at the time – had been operating for 45 days under workers’ control. We were granted an interview with the elected spokesperson of the journalists, Nikolas Tsimpidas, who spoke about the background to the occupation and the wider political struggle in Greece.

The Egyptian security forces have bloodily crushed and dismantled the protest camps of Muslim Brotherhood (MB) supporters, set up in Cairo as focal points to regroup and mobilise their forces after the overthrow of Morsi. This marks yet another dramatic change in the situation facing the Egyptian revolution. Marxists can support neither the army generals nor the MB in this struggle, but only the revolutionary masses.
