Greece: Syriza government lost
He 7 July national elections were held in Greece and had a change in government. Ya que el partido de derecha tradicional Nueva Democracia regresó al poder con casi el 40% of votes, forming a single-party government. SYRIZA came second with 32%, paying the political price of memorandums and the agreement on the name of Macedonia. We see the return of the two-party system, since SYRIZA will try to assume the role of social democracy, replacing the PASOK as the second pillar of the system.
The Movement for Change, led coalition received the PAOSK 8%, the Communist Party (KKE) It is kept stable with 5,3%. A new right-wing populist party, Greek solution, which it emerged in the European elections and resembles formations Salvini in Italy and Orban in Hungary, He entered the parliament with 3,7%. Varoufakis party also entered a 3,5%.
So the next parliament will be formed of 6 matches. For the first time after 2012, the government will form a party rather than a coalition, which means more stability for future attacks on workers' rights and democratic rights.
A positive aspect of this election is that the neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn could not enter parliament. Received a 2,9%, falling below the floor 3%. Definitely, This is important for your image, but it should not lead to lack of concern about the phenomenon.
The anti-capitalist left did not have a good performance. ANTARSYA received only 0,4% and other independent organizations even less. Although the revolutionaries can not be electioneering, elections may provide some lessons for the class struggle, through a distorted image. The government party only shows the need for having the system stability, for financial growth is accompanied by privatization and attacks on social rights.
We have experienced right-wing governments before, disappointment should not be absolute. The financial crisis looming conditions change again and depends on workers, Young, refugees, women and all the exploited repel attacks and take it one step further.
The anti-capitalist left is disorganized and many initiatives are emerging, a more reformist, other centrists and other revolutionary. The anti-capitalist left in Greece must be connected to the base of the movement, Workers, refugees, etc. and create permanent connections according to your needs if you really want to provide a revolutionary alternative and end the vicious cycle of changes of ruling party.
Revolutionaries must meet the demands of the historical period instead of fighting each other. There will be major fights in the coming period and only a strong anti-capitalist left can give the working class the precise compass.
