Η ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ ΣΤΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ
ΑΡΙΣΤΕΡΗ ΠΑΡΕΜΒΑΣΗ ΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ ΒΥΡΩΝΑ
Νεαπόλεως 25, arpa_vyrona@yahoo.gr, http://aristeriparemvasivyrona.blogspot.com, τηλ 6972 584 651
Φίλες και φίλοι μετανάστες του Βύρωνα,
Όλες και όλοι ζούμε αυτή την περίοδο την άγρια επίθεση της κυβέρνησης, της Ε.Ε., του Δ.Ν.Τ. και των κεφαλαιοκρατών στον κόσμο της εργασίας. Το κεφάλαιο δεν έπαψε ποτέ να εκμεταλλεύεται την εργατική τάξη και να ξεζουμίζει τα πιο ευάλωτα κομμάτια της, αλλά τώρα περισσότερο από ποτέ αυτή του η επίθεση ξεπερνά κάθε όριο. Περισσότερο από ποτέ πρέπει και εμείς σήμερα στον κοινό μας αγώνα να εκφράσουμε την αλληλεγγύη και τη στήριξή μας στους μετανάστες και τις μετανάστριες, που ανέκαθεν αποτελούσαν το πιο ευάλωτο κομμάτι της εργατικής τάξης, χωρίς συχνά να αναγνωρίζονται ως εργαζόμενοι και εργαζόμενες! Είτε με τη μορφή της χυδαίας εκμετάλλευσης της εργατικής τους δύναμης κάτω από τις χειρότερες συνθήκες, με χαμηλά μεροκάματα, απλήρωτη εργασία, χωρίς περίθαλψη και συνταξιοδοτικά δικαιώματα, χωρίς ένσημα, είτε με τη μορφή του απόλυτου ελέγχου του σώματος, όπως σε περιπτώσεις σωματεμπορίας και trafficking. Και όλα αυτά να συμβαίνουν σχεδόν πάντα για την πλειοψηφία των μεταναστών και μεταναστριών, υπό συνεχή ανασφάλεια και την τρομοκρατία της απέλασης,
Το νομοσχέδιο για την ιθαγένεια που ψηφίστηκε πρόσφατα, αφού μεταλλάχτηκε από την κυβέρνηση, που ενέδωσε στις ξενοφοβικές πιέσεις και απαιτήσεις του ΛΑΟΣ και της ΝΔ, καθιστά ακόμη μικρότερη τη μειοψηφία που θα έχει πρόσβαση στην ιθαγένεια. Βαθαίνει τις διαιρετικές πολιτικές τόσο μέσα στη δεύτερη γενιά μεταναστών όσο και συνολικά στο κόσμο της μετανάστευσης. Βασικά ορίζει τη διαδικασία νομιμοποίησης, ως ένα μακροχρόνιο Γολγοθά μαύρης εργασίας, εκμετάλλευσης και ρατσιστικής αντιμετώπισης! Από αυτόν τον Γολγοθά πρέπει να βγουν αλώβητοι και να αποδείξουν πως εργάζονταν νόμιμα, χωρίς όμως να προβλέπεται από τη πολιτεία κανένα δίκτυο προστασίας από την εκμετάλλευση των αφεντικών. Σήμερα, με την γενικότερη επίθεση στα δικαιώματα των εργαζομένων, είναι σχεδόν σίγουρο πως η εκμετάλλευση των μεταναστών και μεταναστριών θα ενταθεί. Σχεδόν σίγουρο είναι πως και η πτώση του βιοτικού επίπεδου των ντόπιων και η ανασφάλεια και ο φόβος για το μέλλον, θα αυξήσει τη ξενοφοβία και τις ρατσιστικές συμπεριφορές, με τη συνδρομή και των Μ.Μ.Ε.. Στην Ουγγαρία με την είσοδο του Δ.Ν.Τ. είχαμε φαινόμενα μεγάλης αύξησης των ποσοστών στις εκλογές ακροδεξιών-ρατσιστικών κομμάτων!
Επιπλέον η καθημερινότητα των μεταναστών ξέρουμε ότι δυσκολεύει αφάνταστα από τα εμπόδια που αντιμετωπίζει όποιος ξενιτεύεται. Οι κυρίαρχες αντιλήψεις θέλουν τους μετανάστες να αφομοιώνονται, ισοπεδώνοντας στοιχεία του πολιτισμού και της καταγωγής τους. Ενώ, άλλες αντιλήψεις τους θέλουν να γκετοποιούνται και να περιχαρακώνονται στις δικές τους εθνικές ομάδες, χωρίς επαφή και σύνδεση με τους άλλους ντόπιους ή ξένους.
Εμείς πιστεύουμε ότι οι μετανάστες είναι κομμάτι της κοινωνίας μας και πρέπει να γίνει σεβαστός ο δικός τους τρόπος ζωής, τα έθιμά τους, η κουλτούρα τους, η θρησκεία τους, η γλώσσα τους. Πάλι το νομοσχέδιο, δεν προβλέπει τίποτα για να βοηθηθούν να διατηρήσουν όλα αυτά τα στοιχεία. Αντίθετα, οι αιτούντες υποχρεώνονται σε ειδικά τεστ ελληνικής γλώσσας, ιστορίας και πολιτεύματος από την επιτροπή πολιτογράφησης. Για την υποβολή υποψηφιότητας στα δημοτικά συμβούλια προστέθηκε ως προϋπόθεση «η επαρκής γνώση της ελληνικής γλώσσας». Η κυβέρνηση προσπαθεί να μας πείσει ότι χρειάζεται πλήρης αφομοίωση των «αλλοεθνών», παραμερίζοντας την εμπειρία Ελλήνων μεταναστών στη Γερμανία για το δικαίωμα εκμάθησης της μητρικής τους γλώσσας.
Όσο για την κατάσταση στο Βύρωνα, πιστεύουμε ότι η τοπική κοινωνία θα μπορούσε να συμβάλλει στην αντιμετώπιση των προβλημάτων των μεταναστών και όχι να μένει μόνο σε ένα φεστιβάλ μια φορά το χρόνο. Σίγουρα ο διάλογος βοηθά, αλλά ήρθε επιτέλους η ώρα να γίνουν πράξη όλα αυτά που συζητάμε στα φεστιβάλ. Οι μετανάστες και οι μετανάστριες εξακολουθούν να αντιμετωπίζουν μακροχρόνια προβλήματα στο δήμο μας όπως ότι:
- Πληρώνουν στο δήμο μεγάλα ποσά σε παράβολα για την έκδοση των χαρτιών, το χαράτσι των 1.000 ευρώ από το νέο νομοσχέδιο είναι το ακριβότερο παράβολο στην Ε.Ε.
- Επιβαρύνονται με τα υπέρογκα δημ. Τέλη, όπως και οι υπόλοιποι κάτοικοι, χωρίς να τους παρέχονται ισότιμα οι αντίστοιχες κοινωνικές υποδομές ή υπηρεσίες.
- Λόγω του πλήθους των εγγράφων που απαιτούνται για τους μετανάστες στους δημ. παιδικούς σταθμούς γίνεται απαγορευτική η αποδοχή των παιδιών πολλών εργαζόμενων μεταναστών.
- Δεν βοηθιέται η ένταξη των παιδιών των μεταναστών στην εκπαίδευση, λόγω έλλειψης τμημάτων ένταξης στα περισσότερα σχολεία.
- Η δημοτική Αστυνομία επιδίδεται συστηματικά στη δίωξη των ξένων μικροπωλητών.
- Ενώ, η λειτουργία κέντρου φιλοξενίας νέων μεταναστών στο Βύρωνα αποδείχτηκε ότι ήταν προσωρινή, χωρίς υποδομές και ουσιαστική στήριξη όσων φιλοξένησε. Βασίστηκε στην απλήρωτη εργασία εργαζόμενων του Βύρωνα και δεν συνέβαλε στην μακροπρόθεσμη ένταξη των παιδιών που φιλοξένησε. Φάνηκε ότι κινήθηκε με βάση τις απαγορευτικές κατευθύνσεις του προγράμματος χρηματοδότησης από την κυβέρνηση και την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση.
Η Αριστερή Παρέμβαση είναι στο πλευρό των μεταναστών και των μεταναστριών συμπολιτών μας, για να δημοσιοποιήσουμε και να πιέσουμε όλοι μαζί για τη λύση των προβλημάτων που σας απασχολούν.
Ελάτε σε επαφή μαζί μας και όλοι μαζί θα προσπαθήσουμε να παλέψουμε τόσο τα ζητήματα που απασχολούν τη γειτονιά μας όσο και τα ιδιαίτερα προβλήματα που απασχολούν κάθε κατηγορία των κατοίκων της.
Η ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ ΣΤΑ ΑΛΒΑΝΙΚΑ
Shoqe dhe shokë emigrantë të Vironas
Që të gjithë ne përjetuam në këtë periudhë sulmin e egër të qeverisë, të BE, dhe të kapitalistëve kundrejt punëtorëve. Kapitali vazhdimisht shfrytëzon klasën punëtore dhe për më tepër atë pjesë të saj që gjendet në një pozicion shoqëror më të ulët. Tashmë në këtë periudhë më shumë se kurrë ky sulm i ka kaluar kufijtë. Më tepër se kurrë duhet që edhe ne të zhvillojmë luftën tonë të përbashkët, të tregojmë solidaritetin dhe mbështetjen tonë për emigrantët -tet, të cilët kurdoherë përbënin një pjesë të pandarë të klasës punëtore, pa u konsideruar shpesh herë si punëtorë dhe punëtore. Ky sulm zhvillohej si nëpërmjet shfrytëzimit të egër të krahut të lirë të punëw në kushte çnjerëzore, me rroga të ulta, pa të drejta sociale, ashtu edhe nëpërmjet shfrytëzimit dhe kontrollit të trupit siç janë rastet e trafficking. Të gjitha këto zhvillohen nën kërcënimin e vazhdueshëm të ekstradimeve, të pasigurisë në pjesën më të madhe të emigrantëve- eve.
Ligji i ri për nënshtetësinë që u aprovua kohët e fundit, i cili u ndryshua nga qeveria nën presionin dhe kërkesat e partisë ekstremiste të djathtë dhe partisë së demokracisë së re, tregon qartë se një pjesë shumë e vogël e emigrantëve mund të marrin statusin e qytetarit. Thellëson politikat dalluese ndërmjet brezit të dytë të emigrantëve dhe të emigrantëve në përgjithësi. Konkretisht përcakton një proçes më të gjatë të legalizimit që sjell si pasojë punën e zezë, shfrytëzimin dhe racizmin. Sot, me sulmin e përgjithshëm që po bëhet kundrejt të drejtave të punëtorëve është mëse e qartë se shfrytëzimi kundrejt emigrantëve-eve do të jetë më intensiv. Është mëse e qartë se rënia e nivelit jetësor të banorëve vendas dhe pasiguria për të ardhmen e tyre do të rrisë ksenofobinë dhe racismin shoqëror me mbështetjen e mas medias.
Gjithashtu jeta e përditshme e emigrantëve bëhet më e vështirë për arsye të pengesave që përballon çdonjëri që ka marrë rrugën e mërgimit. Konceptet sunduese kërkojnë që emigrantët të asimilohen duke i rrafshuar kështu elementet kulturore dhe të prejardhjes së tyre. Ndërsa koncepte të tjera kërkojnë izolimin e tyre nëpër geto pa marrëdhënie me vendasit apo emigrantët e tjerë të komuniteteve të ndryshme.
Ne besojmë se emigrantët janë pjesë e shoqërisë sonë dhe duhet të jenë të respektueshëm mënyrat, parimet dhe vlerat e kulturave të tyre. Edhe në këtë drejtim ligji nuk parashikon asgjë për mirëmbajtjen e këtyre vlerave. Përkundrazi i nënshtron emigrantët në praktikat e testeve dhe provimeve për njohjen e gjuhës, historisë dhe kulturës greke. Qeveria mundohet të na bindë se është i nevojshëm asimilimi i plotë i emigrantëve, duke “harruar” se emigrantët grekë një Gjermani kishin të drejtën e mësimit të gjuhës së tyre.
Përsa i përket gjendjes në Virona, besojmë se shoqëria vendase mund të ndikojë për përballimin e problemeve të emigrantëve dhe të mos mjaftohet me një festival në vit. Sigurisht që dialogu ndihmon por erdhi më në fund ora të bëhen realitet të gjitha ato që thuhen në festival. Emigrantët-tet vazhdojnë të përballojnë probleme shumëvjeçare në bashkinë tonë siç janë:
-paguajnë në bashki tatime dhe parabola për lëshimin e lejeve të qëndrimit, haraçin e 1000 euro në bazë të ligjit të ri e cila është më e shtrenjta në evropë.
-rëndohen nga tatimet bashkiake ashtu si edhe banorët e tjerë pa iu siguruar integrim i barabartë në strukturat dhe shërbimet sociale.
-për arsye të dokumenteve të shumta të u kërkohen emigrantëve nga kopshtet bashkiake bëhet e pamundur dhe ndalues rregjistrimi i fëmijëve të emigrantëve.
-nuk mbështetet integrimi i fëmijëve të emigrantëve në sistemin arsimor për arsye të mungesës së klasave në të shumtat e shkollave.
-policia bashkiake ndërhyn sistematikisht për dëbimin e emigrantëve ambulantë.
Aristeri Paremvasi gjendet në krah të emigrantëve-eve, bashkëqytetarëve tanë për të ushtruar të gjithë se bashku presion për zgjidhjen e problemeve që na shqetësojnë. Ejani të komunikoni me ne dhe të gjithë se bashku të mundohemi dhe të luftojmë si për çështjet që i përkasin lagjes tonë ashtu edhe problemet specifike që ka çdo kategori qytetarësh.

Η ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ ΣΤΑ ΑΓΓΛΙΚΑFellow immigrants of Byron,
We are all living in a period of fierce attack of the government, the E.U., the IMF and the Capitalists on the working people. The Capital never stopped exploiting the working class, particularly, the most vulnerable parts of it. Now, more than ever, the exploitation has reached unprecedented levels. It is now, more than ever, that we must show our solidarity and support to all immigrants, the most vulnerable part of the working class, most of the times not even recognized as such at all. This happens in many forms, by crude exploitation of their working force under the worst conditions, low wages, unpaid work, by lack of medical care and a right to pension benefits, or by the form of total control of the person such as human trafficking and sex slavery. All this applies to the majority of the immigrants, moreover, in a state of constant insecurity, and fear because of the threat of deportation.
The law on citizenship that recently passed, heavily altered by the government who gave in to the xenophobic pressure and demands of LAOS and New Democracy, reduces even further the minority with access to citizenship. It is politics that deepens the division within the second generation immigrants but also in the whole population of immigrants. Basically, it defines the way to legality as a Long Road of black labor, exploitation in a racist environment! A road which must be traveled while the people must remain intact and always working legally. All this, without protection from the state against the bosses’ appetites. Today, in a general intensification of the attack on workers’ rights, it is beyond doubt that exploitation of immigrants will worsen. It is certain the drop in the standard of living of the locals, the insecurity and fear for the future, will increase xenophobia and racist behavior not without the help of the media. In Hungary, under the IMF, we witnessed a high increase in the percentage of far-right and racist parties!
We all know that daily life of immigrants worsens further by obstacles common to the person who emigrates. The dominant belief demands the immigrant to be absorbed, his or hers cultural and origin elements to be bulldozed – eradicated. Other beliefs demand they live in ghettos, entrenched with their own ethnic group, with no contact with either locals or other foreigners.
We believe that immigrants are part of our society. Their way of life, the customs, the culture, the religion, their language must all be respected. Again, the recent law does nothing to help them preserve these elements. On the contrary, the applicants must pass special tests of the greek language, history and political regime, under the control of the commission of Naturalization. To be a candidate for the town’s council you must now have a “sufficient knowledge of the greek language”. The government tries to persuade us that “foreign peoples” need to be wholly and completely absorbed, disregarding the fact that the Greek immigrants to Germany had the right to being taught their native language.
As far as Byron is concerned, we believe the local community could do much more in relieving part of the immigrants’ problems than a festival once a year. While talks during the festival help, it is finally time to put words into action. Immigrants in our town continue to face chronic problems and obstacles such as:
- They pay the town big amounts in stamps to get papers, the absurd amount of 1000 euros of the new law is common theft and the highest amount in the EU.
- They are burdened with excessive municipal dues – local taxes like the rest of the citizens but do not have an equal share and access to public services and infrastructure.
- Because of the huge amount of documents required from immigrants for the municipal day nurseries, it is virtually impossible for the children of the working people to gain access to them.
- The integration of the immigrants’ children in education is hindered and opposed by the lack of integration classes in most schools.
- Municipal Police systematically oppresses and goes after foreign petty salesmen.
- All these, while the function of the centre of hospitality of new immigrants proved to be temporary, with no infrastructure and real support to the people it housed. It was based on the unpaid work of the workers of Byron and did not help or contribute to the long-term integration of the children. It functioned along the prohibiting guidelines of the financing program of the greek government and the EU.
Aristeri Paremvasi stands together with our fellow immigrants. We stand together in publicizing the problems and finding a solution to them.
Come in contact and together we will try and struggle against the matters concerning our neighbourhood and the particular problems of its citizens.
