2 Feb, 10.45am: welcome Greek finance minister at Downing St

Greece’s new finance minister Yanis Varoufakis will get a warm welcome from Left Unity outside Downing Street tomorrow (Monday) from 10.45am.

Left Unity members will be holding a banner reading “Greece, we support you” at the gates to the street.

Yanis is in London to hold talks with George Osborne at 11 Downing St from 11am.

Andrew Burgin of Left Unity said:

“We’ve come to welcome Yanis Varoufakis to London – and to see him wipe that smile off George Osborne’s face.

“The burden of austerity must be lifted from the Greek people. We stand with them: they are fighting for us all.

“After so many years of Osborne’s austerity Britain and across Europe, finally a government has taken power who will tell him ‘no more’.”

As part of the European Left, Left Unity in Britain is the sister party of Greece’s Syriza.
