The outpour of international solidarity ahead
of VIOME's important legal battle on March 23 has been
overwhelming!
We are now translating the messages and signatures we got from dozens of different countries into Greek, in order to submit them in court on Monday.
You can see here the photos and read the -untranslated- messages we have received from workers of other recuperated enterprises, such as Kazova, Rimaflow, Bauen, Fabrique du Sud, and many more, as well as from trade unions, collectives, parties, organizations and individuals from all over the world. In a later post, you can read all the signatures of support categorised by country. The workers and solidarity members of the VIOME recuperated factory are deeply moved by the warmth of the international solidarity!
VIOME is not for sale!
It belongs to the workers and to society!

I lavoratori di VIO-ME a Salonicco occupano gli ultimi due anni la loro fabbrica, dopo che la produzione è stata abbandonata dai suoi proprietari, lasciando dietro di sé milioni di euro in salari non pagati, consegnando i dipendenti e le loro famiglie alla povertà.
I lavoratori si sono organizzati e hanno riavviato la produzione in autogestione riuscendo a sopravvivere con salari molto modesti. Durante questi due anni, i precedenti proprietari, la famiglia Fillippou ha fatto di tutto per impedire il lavoro ai dipendenti e cercando di chiudere lo stabilimento, moltiplicando i ricorsi giuridici. Essi stessi sono stati condannati per i salari non pagati, ma in secondo grado di giudizio, la condanna è stata ridotta a quasi niente, esonerandoli di fatto al pagamento dei salari dovuti.
Questa esperienza di autogestione lotta e di solidarietà è stato accolta e sostenuta in tutto il mondo.
Oggi, VIO-ME dei lavoratori sono di nuovo seriamente minacciati, il 23 un nuovo processo deve decidere o meno la liquidazione e la vendita delle macchine. Ciò implicherebbe la fine della autogestione del processo produttivo attraverso l'introduzione di interessi privati in azienda.
Il 20 marzo ci sarà una prima mobilitazione e una marcia a Salonicco per protestare contro lo svolgimento di questo processo, in quanto vi è poco da aspettarsi dato il funzionamento del sistema giudiziario in Grecia su questi temi.
Il 23 marzo, i lavoratori e le lavoratrici chiedono una manifestazione massiccia di solidarietà davanti al tribunale in cui il processo avrà luogo.

Dear Comrades and fellow workers of Vio.Me;
we hope that this
message will reach you in time.
It is an attempt to
send all the solidarity from the workers of Özgür Kazova. We have just
learned of your trial tomorrow and we wish you strength and luck at the same
time. As the last resisting workers of a 23 months long struggle against a
bankrupt owner who wanted to sell out the factory premises, we have been through
our final court case only two months ago. In our case the court confirmed what
we had repeated for two years: that the machines to produce belong to those who
produce. The only compensation for year of labour under bad pay can only be the
ability to control the means of production and ensure equality among workers,
without bosses nor injustices.
We wish the same
victory to you, and we look forward to finally meet you in person next
week.
This is only the
beginning, may the struggle continue!
Free
Kazova

Solidaritätserklärung des Netzwerks Arbeitskämpfe an die
Belegschaft von Vio.Me
Mit Wut und Empörung haben wir vernommen, dass die alten Besitzer
versuchen, mit juristischen Tricks den Betrieb zu liquidieren und damit ihr Werk
der Zerstörung zu vollenden. Was auch immer die Richter am 23. März entscheiden
werden, lasst Euch nicht vertreiben und verteidigt die Fabrik! Als praktisches
Zeichen unserer Solidarität werden wir hier in der Schweiz weiterhin die Seifen
von Vio.Me verkaufen. Jedes Stück Seife steht als Symbol für eine künftige Art
von Produktion und Austausch, die der ganzen Gesellschaft dient, ohne Ausbeutung
und ohne Chefs. Es ist diese Botschaft, die mit dem Vertrieb der Seifen von
Vio.Me verbreitet wird.
Das ist die Form der Unterstützung, die wir aus der Ferne leisten
können – nebst der Erklärung unserer uneingeschränkten Solidarität mit Eurem
Kampf. Wir bedauern, dass wir nicht vor Ort sein können, wenn es gilt, Vio.Me
auch mit unserer physischen Präsenz zu verteidigen. Doch wir sind überzeugt,
dass es Tausende aus ganz Griechenland sind, die herbeiströmen werden, um Vio.Me
zu schützen. Denn Vio.Me gehört der ganzen Gesellschaft. Und die Gesellschaft
wird Vio.Me gegen alle Angriffe verteidigen, weil die Menschen wissen, dass
Vio.Me für ein Leben in Würde steht.
Ihr habt bewiesen, dass es nicht zu Ende ist, wenn der Eigentümer
nicht mehr will und die Arbeiter_innen nach Hause schickt. Ihr habt gezeigt,
dass es eine Alternative zu Entlassungen, Betriebsschliessungen und
Arbeitslosigkeit gibt: Wenn die Arbeiter_innen ihr Leben in die eigenen Hände
nehmen, brauchen sie keine Chefs, um die Produktion zu organisieren. Das ist der
Ausweg aus der Krise der kapitalistischen Ausbeutung. Ihre Krise ist unsere
Chance! Schaffen wir zwei, drei, viele Vio.Me! Euer Kampf ist auch unser Kampf!
Hände weg von den Fabriken!

DAF (Revolutionary Anarchist Action) Statement for Vio-Me
Workers (TURKEY)
While the capitalism exploited the oppressed more and more everywhere
in the world, what happened in Greece after the economic crisis was something a
lot of oppressed experienced in different parts of the world.
After the economic crisis, from strikes to resistances lots of
movements happened in the region of Greece.
The proccess that Vio-Me workers finished with a factory occupation
on February 12th of 2013, was the best answer not only to economic crisis but to
capitalism itself. We, the oppressed, can break free of this oppressing system
of capitalism with self-organisation and solidarity. We can achieve the social
revolution that we want by increasing these cracks in the capitalist
system.
With the directly democratical decision makings, with their desire to
expand their experience of self-organization to different parts of society,
Vio-Me workers introduced their struggle not only to Greece but to many
geographical regions including the one we live in, and we salute Vio-Me workers
today just as we did in the past.
Against the capitalist bosses and rich people, against the state's
attempts to destroy this solidarity, your strong-willed struggle is our
struggle.
The state attempts to undermine this self-organized process with
laws, attempts to destroy this anit-capitalist experience like in everywhere.
We, as Revolutionary Anarchist Action, want you to know that we are with you to
the end in your struggle. We need your self-organizing experience,
anti-capitalist stance and struggle against the state, now more than ever.
Long live occupation and resistance of Vio-Me
Workers!
Long live workers self-organisation!
Long live social revolution!

26A
Collective Statement
for Vio-Met Workers
We, as 26A Collective, have been showing that a collective production
without bosses and masters is possible by practicing it and following the
organised struggle and collective production of Vio-Me workers with
excitement.
We
have learned that factory Vio-Me workers have been running with self-organised
production for over 2 years, is being threatened to shut down by state-backed
capitalists.
Against the system of consumption culture and slavery imposed by
globally dominating corporations, a self-organized production process is a
realist destructive practice and the realization of anarchism's direct action
principle.
Exactly for this reason, its quite normal that capitalists and the
state are worried and trying to destory you.
But this should be remembered, we the oppressed have a normal as
well: Resistance and struggle
*************************************
Meydan
Newspaper Statement for Vio-Me
We
hear from this side of Aegean Sea that Vio-Me workers, about whom we published
articles in 13th and 21th issues of our newspaper, are facing threats of bosses
again these days. We know that our comrades have been continuing their struggle
since February 2013 despite the bosses exploiting their labor, and the unions
collaborating with these bosses; and we know they will keep on struggling no
matter what threat they face.
Your resistance has been a hope for us against the governments
forcing us into poverty with their economic crisis, against the laws that try to
prevent organising, against the capitalism stealing our lives. Your experience
woven with solidarity and direct democracy has shown us an inevitable episode of
a unified struggle against capitalism. Those who think they can discourage you
with threats and oppression are wrong! This struggle is all of ours!

We

Σε
περίοδο οικονομικής κρίσης και λιτότητας, εκατοντάδες ελληνικές επιχειρήσεις
αναγκάστηκαν να κλείσουν. Οι εντολές της τρόικα, με την υποστήριξη της
κυβέρνησης, προξένησε χρόνια ανεργία, από την οποία υποφέρει ως επί το πλείστον
ο κόσμος της εργασίας. Το 2011 οι εργάτες της ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ. εγκαταλελειμμένοι από τους
εργοδότες τους, αποτέλεσαν άλλο ένα θύμα του νεοφιλελεύθερου φασισμού, αλλά
κράτησαν το κεφάλι ψηλά. Υπό την απειλή να μείνουν χωρίς δουλειά, ακολούθησαν το
δρόμο της αυτοοργάνωσης. Το εργοστάσιο καταλήφθηκε και έγινε η πρώτη συλλογική
επιχείρηση της Ελλάδας. Το 2013, μετά από δύσκολους αγώνες, οι εργαζόμενοι
άρχισαν να παράγουν και πάλι, επιλέγοντας την οικολογικά καθαρή παραγωγή. Στο
πνεύμα της εργατικής αυτοδιαχείρισης και την άμεσοδημοκρατική λήψη των
αποφάσεων, ξεκίνησαν μια διαδικασία που φέρνει στη μνήμη μας την ισπανική
κοινωνική επανάσταση. Όλοι στο εργοστάσιο έχουν ισότιμες απολαβές, ο
συνεταιρισμός έχει οριζόντια οργάνωση και η δουλειά είναι συλλογική. Η ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ.
όπως και άλλοι συνεταιρισμοί εργαζομένων σε όλο τον κόσμο, απέδειξαν ότι η
απελευθέρωση των εργαζομένων βρίσκεται στα χέρια τους. Η ανυποχωρητικότητά τους
και η επιμονή τους, είναι πηγή έμπνευσης για τους εργαζόμενους στον αγώνα τους
για μια καλύτερη ζωή. Σήμερα, η ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ. είναι αντιμέτωπη με την δυσκολότερη
δοκιμασία της. Οι παλιοί ιδιοκτήτες έχουν ξεκινήσει δικαστική διαδικασία που
ξεκινά στις 23 Μαρτίου. Στόχος τους είναι να τους επιστραφεί το εργοστάσιο,
καθώς και η γη γύρω από αυτό. Οι εργαζόμενοι ανακήρυξαν ότι θα αγωνιστούν μέχρις
εσχάτων, με κάθε τρόπο. Σήμερα, περισσότερο από ποτέ, η ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ. έχει ανάγκη
στήριξης. Είναι σαφές ότι το κράτος και το κεφάλαιο θα προσπαθήσουν να
καταστρέψουν κάθε προσπάθεια αυτοοργάνωσης και αυτοδιαχείρισης των εργαζομένων.
Πρέπει να τους σταματήσουμε! Αλληλεγγύη με τους εργαζόμενους της ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ! Όχι στο
κράτος και το κεφάλαιο! Ναι στην αυτοδιαχείριση! Με συντροφικούς

Във времена на икономическа криза и строги икономии, стотици гръцки
предприятия бяха принудени да затворят врати. Диктатът на Тройката, с подкрепата
на правителството, създаде хронична безработица, от която пострада най-вече
трудовата част на обществото.
През 2011 година, изоставени от своя работодател, работниците от Вио. Ме бяха поредната жертва на неолибералния фашизъм, но не склониха глави. Пред заплаха да бъдат оставени без работа, те поеха по пътя на самоорганизацията. Фабриката беше окупирана и превърната в първото колективно предприятие в Гърция.
През 2013 година, след трудни борби, работниците започнаха да произвеждат, отново, като заложиха на екологично чистото производство. В духа на работническо самоуправление и взимане на решения чрез пряка демокрация, те стартираха един процес, който носи спомена на испанската социална революция. Всички във фабриката получават по равно, кооперативът е организиран хоризонтално, а работата е колективна. Вио.Ме, заедно с други работнически кооперативи по целия свят, доказаха, че освобождението на работниците, е само и единствено в собствените им ръце. Тяхната непримиримост и упоритост са вдъхновение за трудещите се в борбата им за по-добър живот.
Днес, Вио.Ме е изправена пред най-тежкото си изпитание. Старите собственици са започнали дело срещу фабриката, което ще започне на 23 март. Целта им е да си я възвърнат, както и земята около нея. Работниците заявиха, ще се борят до последно, по всякакъв начин.
Днес, повече от всякога, Вио.Ме има нужда от подкрепа. Трябва да ни е ясно, че държавата и капиталът ще се опитват да унищожат всеки опит за самоорганизация и самоуправление на трудещите се. Трябва да ги спрем!

Vuestra lucha es una muestra avanzada de la resistencia de la gente trabajadora de Europa y en particular en Grecia contra los planes de desmantelamiento social pactados por las élites económicas y políticas europea, pero también es una anticipación de que es posible vivir y producir los medios de vida de otra manera, una manera en la que los mecanismos de apropiación privativa por una minoría no desposean a la gran mayoría.

The
Brooklyn Greens extends its solidarity
and pledges its support to the workers who have reclaimed the Viome factory in
Thessalonica.
We denounce the court proceedings brought by the former owners, who are attempting through legal sanction to steal the factory from the workers and liquidate it despite having already stolen and profited from the fruits of the Viome workers' labor for many years, while they ran it.
The Brooklyn Greens, which is an activist local of the Green Party of New York, calls on our sisters and brothers in Green parties throughout the world to support the Viome workers.
Furthermore, we encourage workers everywhere to follow the Viome workers' example, take back the equipment that we ourselves, as workers, produced.
We write the words "us" and "we" here because that factory (and all machinery) rightfully belongs to "us" -- the international working class, which we are part of and together created. We all collectively own what we've produced. The fact that we've allowed the bosses to "borrow" it for some time -- whether it's the ecological cleaning supplies produced by Viome workers, or any and all other equipment and means of production -- is simply a sign of the global working class' generosity. We want it back. All of it. And so we're taking back what's rightfully ours.
All power to the Viome workers!
-Ecological cleaning material workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your stains!-
This last slogan no doubt rhymes only in English, where in translation to the Greek it will make little sense. Still, here it is .....

Messaggio rivolto ai lavoratori e lavoratrici di
VIO-ME a Salonicco (Grecia)
Μήνυμα προς τους εργαζόμενους και τις εργαζόμενες
της ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ στη Θεσσαλονίκη (Ελλάδα)
I lavoratori di VIO-ME a Salonicco occupano gli ultimi due anni la loro fabbrica, dopo che la produzione è stata abbandonata dai suoi proprietari, lasciando dietro di sé milioni di euro in salari non pagati, consegnando i dipendenti e le loro famiglie alla povertà.
Οι εργαζόμενοι της
ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ στη Θεσσαλονίκη έχουν καταλάβει τα τελευταία δύο χρόνια το εργοστάσιό
τους, μετά την εγκατάλειψη της παραγωγής από τους ιδιοκτήτες της, αφήνοντας πίσω
τους εκατομμύρια ευρώ απλήρωτων μισθών, παραδίδοντας [εγκαταλείποντας] τους
εργαζόμενους και τις οικογένειές τους στην φτώχεια.
I lavoratori si sono organizzati e hanno riavviato la produzione in autogestione riuscendo a sopravvivere con salari molto modesti. Durante questi due anni, i precedenti proprietari, la famiglia Fillippou ha fatto di tutto per impedire il lavoro ai dipendenti e cercando di chiudere lo stabilimento, moltiplicando i ricorsi giuridici. Essi stessi sono stati condannati per i salari non pagati, ma in secondo grado di giudizio, la condanna è stata ridotta a quasi niente, esonerandoli di fatto al pagamento dei salari dovuti.
Οι εργαζόμενοι
οργανώθηκαν και επανεκκίνησαν την παραγωγή καταφέρνοντας να επιβιώσουν με πολύ
χαμηλούς μισθούς. Κατά τη διάρκεια αυτών των δύο ετών, οι προηγούμενοι
ιδιοκτήτες, η οικογένεια Φιλλίπου, έκανε τα πάντα για να εμποδίσει τη δουλειά
των εργαζομένων και προσπαθώντας να κλείσει το εργοστάσιο πολλαπλασιάζοντας τα
ένδικα μέσα. Οι
ίδιοι [ενν. οι πρωην ιδιοκτήτες] καταδικάστηκαν για τη μη καταβολή μισθών, αλλά
σε δεύτερη βαθμό, η ποινή μειώθηκε σε σχεδόν τίποτα, απαλλασσοντάς τους από την
καταβολή των μισθών που οφείλονται.
Questa esperienza di autogestione lotta e di solidarietà è stato accolta e sostenuta in tutto il mondo.
Αυτή η εμπειρία της
αυτοδιαχείρισης της πάλης και της αλληλεγγύης έχει επικροτηθεί και υποστηριχθεί
σε όλο τον κόσμο.
Oggi, VIO-ME dei lavoratori sono di nuovo seriamente minacciati, il 23 un nuovo processo deve decidere o meno la liquidazione e la vendita delle macchine. Ciò implicherebbe la fine della autogestione del processo produttivo attraverso l'introduzione di interessi privati in azienda.
Σήμερα, η ΒΙΟΜΕ των
εργαζομένων βρίσκεται ξανά υπό σοβαρή απειλή. Στις 23 [Μαρτίου] μια καινούργια
δίκη καλείται να αποφασίσει ή όχι] την εκκαθάριση και την πώληση των
μηχανημάτων. Αυτό θα σήμαινε το τέλος της αυτοδιαχείρισης της παραγωγικής
διαδικασίας μέσω της εισαγωγής ιδιωτικών συμφερόντων στην παραγωγή.
Il 20 marzo ci sarà una prima mobilitazione e una marcia a Salonicco per protestare contro lo svolgimento di questo processo, in quanto vi è poco da aspettarsi dato il funzionamento del sistema giudiziario in Grecia su questi temi.
Στις 20 Μάρτίου θα
πραγματοποιηθεί μια πρώτη κινητοποίηση και μια πορεία στην Θεσσαλονίκη για να
διαμαρτυρηθούν ενάντια στην πραγματοποίηση αυτής της διαδικασίας καθώς είναι λίγα αυτό
που αναμένονται δεδομένης της λειτουργίας του δικαστικού συστήματος στην Ελλάδα
για τα θέματα αυτά.
Il 23 marzo, i lavoratori e le lavoratrici chiedono una manifestazione massiccia di solidarietà davanti al tribunale in cui il processo avrà luogo.
Στις 23 Μαρτίου οι
εργαζόμενοι και οι εργαζόμενες καλούν σε μαζική κινητοποίηση αλληλεγγύης μπροστά
από το δικαστήριο στο οποίο θα πραγματοποιηθεί η διαδικασία.
I lavoratori e le lavoratrici di tutto il mondo saranno con voi, compagni di VIO-ME!

"Many people in Bulgaria are familiar with the struggle of the
Thesaloniki workers, who decided to fight for their jobs. This is a fight we
have been following through the years and we were sincerely happy for their
achievements. The struggle of the workers from VIO.ME started in 2011
when they decided they will not be another victim of unemployment, but they have
the courage and skills to run the factory and their own lives by themselves.
After long and difficult attempts, and thanks to the support from the Greek and
international society, the factory in Thesaloniki starts producing in the
beginning of 2013, under workers control entirely. Since then VIO.ME staff is managing their production
by themselves. They have decided to rely on direct-democratic self-governance
and ecologically clean production, starting an example of a modern manufacture
(like many other self-managed productions in Europe and South America), based on
ethical and social foundations, in spite of greed and fraudulency. They showed
us another way is possible, here and now. Today, the workers of VIO.ME are faced a big challenge. The
previous owners are attacking the factory in court, trying to sabotage the
production, to take hold of the possessions and try to sell them off. A trial is
scheduled in the Greek court for 23rd March. The VIO.ME workers
expressed readiness to defend the factory on every price and with every means.
The Greek society is also supporting them – in the coming days there will be
protests, actions and concerts in entire Greece in support of the self-managed
workers. We will not stay idly as well. If the Greek court decides to support
the previous owners, who abandoned the factory 4 years ago and now attempt to
rob it again, we are ready to organize protests and demonstrations of solidarity
in front of the Greek embassies and representative offices in
Bulgaria.

Πολλοί άνθρωποι στην Βουλγαρία γνωρίζουν για τον
αγώνα των εργατών της Θεσσαλονίκης, που αποφάσισαν να παλέψουν για τις δουλειές
τους. Είναι ένας αγώνας τον οποίον παρακολουθούμε από χρόνια όντες ειλικρινά
χαρούμενοι για τα επιτεύγματα τους. Ο αγώνας των εργατών της ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ. ξεκίνησε το
2011 όταν αποφάσισαν πως δεν θα γίνουν και αυτοί θύματα της ανεργίας, αλλά ότι
έχουν το κουράγιο και τις ικανότητες να διαχειριστούν το εργοστάσιο και τις ζωές
τους μόνοι τους. Μετά από μακρές και δύσκολες απόπειρες, και χάρη στην
υποστήριξη της Ελληνικής και διεθνούς κοινωνίας, το εργοστάσιο στη Θεσσαλονίκη
ξεκίνησε να παράγει στις αρχές του 2013, ολοκληρωτικά κάτω από εργατικό έλεγχο.
Από τότε οι εργαζόμενοι της ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ διαχειρίζονται την παραγωγή μόνοι τους.
Αποφάσισαν να βασιστούν στην αμεσοδημοκρατική αυτοδιεύθυνση και στην οικολογικά
καθαρή παραγωγή, ξεκινώντας το παράδειγμα ενός μοντέρνου εργοστασίου (όπως και
πολλές άλλες αυτό-διαχειριζόμενες παραγωγικές μονάδες σε Ευρώπη και Ν. Αμερική),
θεμελιωμένο πάνω σε ηθικές και κοινωνικές βάσεις, αντί για την απληστία και την
απάτη. Μας έδειξαν πως ένας άλλος τρόπος είναι εφικτός, εδώ και τώρα. Σήμερα, οι
εργάτες της ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ. αντιμετωπίζουν μια μεγάλη πρόκληση. Οι προηγούμενοι
ιδιοκτήτες επιτίθενται δικαστικά στο εργοστάσιο, προσπαθώντας να σαμποτάρουν την
παραγωγή, να πάρουν στα χέρια τους τα υπάρχοντα του και να τα ξεπουλήσουν. Έχει
προγραμματιστεί δίκη σε Ελληνικό δικαστήριο για τις 23 Μάρτη. Οι εργάτες της
ΒΙΟ.ΜΕ. επέδειξαν ετοιμότητα στην υπεράσπιση του εργοστασίου με κάθε τίμημα και
με κάθε μέσο. Η Ελληνική κοινωνία επίσης τους υποστηρίζει – στις επόμενες ημέρες
θα πραγματοποιηθούν διαμαρτυρίες, δραστηριότητες και συναυλίες σε όλη την Ελλάδα
σε υποστήριξη των αυτοδιευθυνόμενων εργατών. Ούτε εμείς θα μείνουμε αδρανείς. Αν
το ελληνικό δικαστήριο αποφασίσει να στηρίξει τους προηγούμενους ιδιοκτήτες, που
εγκατέλειψαν το εργοστάσιο 4 χρόνια πριν και τώρα επιχειρούν ξανά να το κλέψουν,
είμαστε έτοιμοι να οργανώσουμε διαμαρτυρίες και διαδηλώσεις αλληλεγγύης μπροστά
στην Ελληνική πρεσβεία και προξενεία στη Βουλγαρία.

Pronunciamiento
Saludamos
calurosamente, desde Argentina, la marcha que ustedes están
protagonizando.
Los trabajadores
argentinos seguimos con atención la batalla que están librando en defensa de la
gestión obrera y de los puestos de trabajo. A la par de la lucha de Viome, se
está desarrollando la lucha por la reapertura de la emisora estatal. Ambas
luchas constituyen un capítulo relevante del enfrentamiento con la UE y el FMI.
Lo que está en
disputa en Grecia y en el mundo es quien va a pagar la actual crisis : el
capital o los que vivimos de nuestro trabajo. El rescate de la banca se viene
haciendo a costa de sacrificios y privaciones sin precedentes del pueblo griego.
Lo mismo viene ocurriendo en la Argentina.Los recursos van a
parar al pago de la deuda externa y a cuantiosos subsidios al capital. El estado
argentino ha llegado el extremo de suprimir subsidios que venían otorgando a
los trabajadores de las empresas recuperadas.
Denunciamos la
pretensión de la ex patronal de Viome de retomar el control de la fábrica y
desalojar a los compañeros que la han reabierto y puesto a funcionar .Frente a
cualquier tentativa de extorsión ,venga de donde venga, llamamos a oponerle
una salida que privilegie el interés y las necesidades de los trabajadores Por
la expropiación sin pago de la empresa, y su transferencia a los trabajadores,
la unión de las empresas en la misma situación y la obligación del estado de
asistir con el crédito a los emprendimientos de los trabajadores.Que la crisis
la paguen los capitalistas.

Dear Friends
Left Unity Scotland offers solidarity and support to the workers of
VioMe in their fight against the disgusting attempt by the former owners to use
their courts to pillage even the assets they abandoned after failing to pay
wages. We know that Greece is a test bed for the kind of social and economic
destruction the ruling class is desperate to inflict on workers throughout
Europe. Therefore for us any victory by workers in Greece has many times the
significance of a similar victory elsewhere. Please keep us informed of
developments.

Thessaloniki who are an inspiration to workers throughout the world.
Alex Steiner
*************************************
The Thessaloniki Chalk Circle should be
resolved in favour of the workers of VioMe!
The DIP, the Revolutionary Workers’ Party of Turkey,
extends its deepest sympathy and solidarity to the workers’ collective of VioMe,
fighting to sustain the work they have been so honourably doing for the last two
years, i.e. running a factory on the basis of self-management with equality of
rights for all workers involved and workers’ democracy embodied in the
sovereignty of the general assembly of the workers of VioMe.
The claim by the previous owners of the factory, the
Fillipou family, coming as it does after having abandoned the factory for so
long, creates a 21st century replica of Bertolt Brecht’s play The
Caucasian Chalk Circle. The workers of VioMe have kept the factory alive and
running for all these years while this capitalist family was nowhere to be seen.
The workers are like the maid in Brecht’s play, who looks after the child of the
Governor’s wife while she is trying to save her own skin without any regard for
the child she has given birth to. The Governor’s wife eventually comes back to
sue the maid in order to get the child back. The judge draws a circle of chalk
and asks both the Governor’s wife and the maid to pull the child. Whoever
manages to snatch the child will get to take him away. As the maid cannot bring
herself to hurt the child, she lets go. Seeing this manifestation of affection,
the court decides in favour of the maid.
Whoever nurtures the child deserves to be the mother
and whoever nurtures the means of production deserves to own it! Let the VioMe
workers carry on with their exemplary practice of self-management!
Of course, the case in the Greek bourgeois court is
no Brecht play and there is a threat hanging over the fate of the workers of the
self-managed VioMe factory. We are totally against the formalistic bourgeois
right to private property possibly to be re-imposed by the court on the workers
of VioMe. They are the ones who have given life to the factory. Let them be its
rightful owners!
Long live the self-managed VioMe
factory!
Long live proletarian internationalist
solidarity!
Long live the fraternity of Greek and Turkish
workers!
Comradely greetings.
Revolutionary Workers' Party of Turkey

Marxist Workers' League of Finland expresses our

the ex-owners to return and get back BIOME, which workers has been administrated
for long time.
In BIOME workers have planed the production, divided
the working time, shelled the commodities and shared the profit. The factory
of BIOME belongs to its workers.
Greek new government has been forgotten most of the
elections' promises one after another in a very short term. Together with the
workers of ERT, the BIOME's workers have to fight in a national wide and
international level for their rights against the capitalists and the
government.
Prevent the efforts of the government and

To
the workers of the VIOME factory in Greece
Revolutionary Socialist Media sent a message of solidarity and
support. Your struggle against your bosses proof why a socialist society is
needed. The Greek struggle against the European Troika is also a struggle
against Greek capitalism ( supported by New Democracy and the traitorous PASOK
). As workers you have experienced the hardness of living in a country with
falling living-standards. You rejected European austerity, but the struggle is
only beginning. Because your elected government is too moderate and not willing
to build socialism. SYRIZA's weakness lies in its reformism and its reformist
leader Alexis Tsipras ( who used to be a communist back in 1990 )!
I
know the fight against the former owners of VIOME will be difficult. Because by
capitalist law, they own the factory. Greece is still a capitalist nation that
serves the owners of the economy, not the people who work. SYRIZA needs to
change these capitalist laws and replace them by socialist ones. A Hellenic
Socialist Republic is needed to give full economic control to you. The working
class can elect its own people to run enterprises, you don't need capitalists or
state-bureaucrats!
Therefore
ALL POWER TO THE WORKERS
In
full solidarity and support,

Your experience demonstrates once more high efficiency of workers

It is important also in historical perspective with which we link the hope on

intention and that is to say thank you for fighting a struggle that concerns all
working people.
Now the infamous “owners” want to liquidate the company and make even
more money at your expense. Don’t let the capital and its assistant (also known
as state) convince you that there is no reason to fight, that you cannot win
this struggle, that it is easier to go with the flow…because it’s not. It is the
flow that has brought so many people to poverty and deprivation and you have
witnessed it.
Don’t let them hide behind legal formalities and exhaust you. Don’t
stop fighting! You are not alone! We follow your struggle and support it in all
possible ways. Comrades, do not forget, you are not alone! An international

mi apoyo completo e incondicional a los trabajadores y mi desacuerdo con el
intento judicial de liquidar la fábrica, así como la repulsa, desde Madrid, a
la no condena de los empresarios a indemnizar debidamente a los trabajadores.
Ánimo y fuerza, compañeros: vuestra lucha contra el patrón es la de tod@s los

Dear VIOME Workers,
We here by send a solidarity message to VIOME
workers to support your fight to manage your work and your lives yourselves from
Tokyo.
In 2013, we had occupied a gas station,
E-Revolutionary, which the ex-owner had claimed a pretense bankruptcy, for 106
days. At the end of struggle of the workers, we luckily found a business
supporter to buy the property temporary to rent them to workers, and we managed
to establish a joint company of workers themselves.
Today, the business is gradually getting better, and
in near future, the workers are planning to buy the property back
themselves.
Let VIOME workers to gain the victory by solidarity
of workers!
In solidarity,

Volle Solidarität mit
Vio.Me - aus Oberösterreich!
Wir waren im Juli
2014 mit einer Gruppe von jungen Sozialisten und Sozialistinnen in Thessaloniki
und haben Vio.Me besucht – bei einer Gerichtsverhandlung und auf dem
Firmengelände. Wir waren damals sehr beeindruckt von eurem Kampf und eurer
Widerstandsfähigkeit und sind es heute noch. Wir stehen voll und ganz hinter der
Idee von selbstverwalteten Betrieben, wo die Arbeiter und Arbeiterinnen ihre
Fabrik selbst verwalten und in die Hand nehmen. Wir wünschen euch alles gute und
viel Kraft für die weiteren Kämpfe – wir stehen hinter euch! Der Kampf dreht das
Rad!
Solidarische Grüße
aus Oberösterreich,

Liebe Genossinnen und Genossen,
der Verein „Aktive Arbeitslose Österreich“ erklärt als noch
kleine aber unabhängige Arbeitslosengewerkschaft seine volle Solidarität mit dem
Kampf von VIO.ME. Auch wenn wir in einem noch reichen Land
leben, wo die offizielle Arbeitslosigkeit „nur“ 10 % beträgt, so wissen wir sehr
wohl, was die Herrschaft des Geldes in Europa bedeutet. Selbst in reichen
Staaten wie Österreich werden zur weiteren Steigerung der Gewinne der
Unternehmer immer mehr Menschen entweder ganz arbeitslos gemacht oder in prekäre
und immer schlechter bezahlte Arbeit gedrängt. Eine unglaubliche Bürokratie
bedroht Arbeitslose in Österreich. Wenn wir uns nicht als „willig“ zeigen droht
man uns mit Bezugssperren, die unsere Existenz bedrohen. Das selbe passiert,
wenn wir, wenn wir uns nicht in sinnlose Kurs oder in schlecht bezahlte
Zwangsarbeit zwingen lassen. Mitten im reichen Österreich leben daher immer mehr
Menschen in Angst und Vereinsamung, ohne eigene Stimme in der Öffentlichkeit
oder der Politik.
Daher ist es für uns wichtig, dass konkrete, solidarische
Alternativen zum Kapitalismus vorgelebt und erkämpfte Freiräume verteidigt
werden. Nur eine grundlegende Demokratisierung der Wirtschaft kann unsere
Gesellschaft retten und die Menschenwürde wieder herstellen. Projekte
solidarischer Ökonomie in Griechenland wie VIO.ME sind auch für uns eine
wertvolle Motivation, unseren Kampf weiter zu führen und zu versuchen, die noch
vereinzelten Kämpfe miteinander zu verbinden.
Wir vom Verein Aktive Arbeitslose wünschen Euren Kämpfen gutes
Gelingen und werden diese im Rahmen unserer noch bescheidenen Möglichkeiten
gerne weiter unterstützen.
Nur gemeinsam können wir stärker werden!
Mit solidarischen Grüßen
Martin Mair und Karin Rausch

Solidaritätserklärung
an die Generalversammlung von VIOME
Entsetzt haben wir
erfahren, dass es den Ex- Besitzern mit Hilfestaatlicher Administratoren nun
endlich gelungen ist, den Prozess zurLiquidierung VIOMEs durchzusetzen. Jetzt
wollen sie noch Profit ausder Spekulation mit dem Firmengelände schlagen,
nachdem sie zuerst denBetrieb zerstört, euch jahrelang die Löhne vorenthalten
und von Beginnan eure Bestrebungen nach einem selbstorganisierten Leben in Würde
undeurem Kampf gegen Arbeitslosigkeit und Verelendung boykottiert haben.
Eure
Entschlossenheit, euer Durchhaltevermögen, eure demokratischenGrundsätze und
eure Vorstellung einer gerechten Gesellschaft ist weitüber Griechenland hinaus
für viele von uns ein Vorbild. Durch denVertrieb eurer wunderbaren Seifen als
Symbol von Selbstermächtigungund demokratischer Produktionsweise wollen wir
weiterhin euren Kampf,so gut wir können, praktisch unterstützen.Lasst euch nicht
vertreiben!Haltet den kapitalistischen Dieb!Hände weg von VIOME!In
uneingeschränkter Solidarität mit eurem Kampf

Sehr geehrte neue Besitzer eines verlassenen,
heruntergekommenen, abgewirtschafteten, völlig bankrotten Betriebs, dessen Wert
tief minus ist. Die Firma war NICHTS wert, als ihr sie übernommen habt. NICHTS
und ihr habt euren Job verloren. Ich finde es klasse, was ihr daraus macht und
erkläre hiermit eine Solidarität aus Deutschland. Als Solidaritätsbekundung
wird am 23. März bei mir als Deutscher eine griechische Flagge aus meinem
Fenster wehen mit einem Gruß an den Richter und seinen Schwur auf die Verfassung
des Landes seiner Bürger. Vielleicht 0,01% aller Deutschen wissen um euren
Kampf, viele sehen die Armut und nur wenige sehen den
Mut.
Den Mut, den ihr habt, euch gegen die Armut und für
die Solidarität zu stellen und den Mut, den der Richter braucht, das Recht zu
sprechen. Wem gehört der Betrieb? Für mich als unabhängiger Deutscher und für
jeden Richter mit juristischem Eid, gibt es nur eine Antwort. Nur euch, frei von
jeder Diskussion.
Helden in Griechenland, Zeus in Athen und das Recht
in Thessaloniki für VIOME.
Ich wünsche euch das Beste, was man sich wünschen
kann und viel Mut auf eurem Weg.
Mit Grüßen aus Mülheim an der
Ruhr.
Jens Müller
