Dear miners and relatives of Larco, you have our fullest solidarity in your struggle for every job and loss of affordable housing. I myself worked as an electrician underground in the German coal industry for 35 years. It is impressive how great the solidarity with you and your families is among the Greek population; we have had similar experiences in Germany and it shows that it is not true how politicians and companies want to make us believe that we are alone.
Against these international mining monopolies and their governments we can only become a superior force in the long run if we, together with our families, cooperate internationally and coordinate our struggles. That is why we have joined together in the International Miners' Coordination. We promote the common international struggle of the miners. For this purpose, we have decided to hold our 3rd International Miners' Conference from 31.8.2023 to 3.9.2023. It will take place in Thuringia/Germany and we would be very happy about your participation to learn from each other and to strengthen the mutual trust so that we can better support each other in the disputes and struggles. We are united with you in demanding that we miners oppose the imperialist war in Ukraine and stop the Russian bombing and troop invasion. The miners worldwide do not want an imperialist war, in this regard our international struggle programme says: "We fight for the unity of the miners. We oppose and fight against imperialist wars. We are against wars of aggression of the imperialists to secure their influence over natural resources and to exert influence over numerous countries and regions. Against the sell-out of national wealth to the imperialist monopolies. We fight for world peace." We report about your struggle on our homepage www.minersconference.org and call for solidarity with you and your unions. If you send us reports and maybe photos, we will publish them too. Write to us and tell us how we can support you in your struggle. We wish you much strength and success in your struggle and stand side by side with you!
