Statement on the electoral success of the Progressive Students Movement (Proodeftiki) in the University of Cyprus
The Central Council of EDON expresses its warm congratulations and sends a militant greeting to the members and friends of the Progressive (Proodeftiki) Students Movement for the great success they have achieved in the Faculty Elections of the University of Cyprus. The elections were held for the election of student representatives on the councils of the departments and faculties of the university. In the total results of departments, Proodeftiki achieved 46.53% recording an increase of 8,5% and 43.89% in faculties with a rising of 5.82%.
The electoral success of the students of Proodeftiki did not come from nowhere. It is the result of the tireless action to solve small and big problems of the students. It is the result of a consistent struggle against imperialism and NATO, for the freedom and the reunification of our country. Students recognize Proodeftiki as the force that resists against the unpopular policies of the Government of the Democratic Rally - Anastasiadis, as well as the force that struggles for exemption from the memorandum one-way policies.
The result of the Faculty Elections of the University of Cyprus sends a message of hope and struggle to the people of Cyprus. Students, show us the way to step up the fight to defend the rights of workers, farmers, self-employed, youth and pensioners. Such success proves that the Left is the force that will pull ahead and our people will stand to the forefront fighting against the exploitation of human by human and to forward solidarity and social justice.
Central Council of EDON, calls the Cypriot youth to get organized in EDON in the difficult struggle for better days to come. Misery and scorn of everything do not fit to the young people. With massive militant struggle we can conquer the future we deserve.
