Events in Europe are moving at breakneck speed. A Greek default is now a question not of if but when. Working people in Greece are growing increasingly disaffected at being told repeatedly that they have to pay a price for protecting the banks.

They have already suffered wage cuts and attacks on conditions. But every time the IMF, the European Bank and the EU demands more. Politicians are talking in cataclysmic terms. A default would lead to a slump in living standards not seen in Europe for generations.

This austerity is being imposed right across Europe, and the rest of the world. Everywhere we are told there is not enough money to fund welfare states, education and health systems. The public sector everywhere is threatened with privatisation and cost cutting, to the detriment of us all.

At the same time, the wealthy, the bankers, the businessmen and their friends in government refuse to make any sacrifices. They squeal at the suggestion of paying even a penny more in tax. They always justify spending on weapons and war.

Their answer to the recession is to cut deficits in every country, forcing the economy into stagnation, raising unemployment, cutting wages and living standards. That’s what they have been doing in Greece for more than a year, with predictably disastrous results.

Around Europe, people are demonstrating, protesting and striking against austerity. Here in Britain 3 million workers will be striking on November 30. They will have the support of millions more.

But these attacks cannot just be fought in Britain. They are an international attack to make working people pay for a crisis that is not of their making. We have to show solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Greece, Italy, Portugal and anywhere else we are under attack.

The European Conference against Austerity could not be coming at a better time. Hundreds of delegates from across Europe will be meeting to discuss how we fight these latest attacks and build a different world. Speakers include representatives from some of the major left parties and trade unions in Europe, experts and academics on the crisis, and activists and campaigners fighting against the cuts.

We will be planning how we join together to organise to roll back this attack that we all face. Come and join us, and get your union branch/group/campaign to send delegates.
