Below is the speech in English

On the 20th of June, World Refugee Day, we greet all participants.
Our world is made uninhabitable by the imperialist capitalist system. The recent coranavirus outbreak is not independent of the system's excessive profit ambition. While imperialism takes steps for its own interests, these policies cause millions of people to migrate, to seek asylum in other countries in order to avoid war conditions, hunger, unemployment, and poverty.
Those who are the reason why people migrate and become refugees and asylum seekers in other countries, now show migrants to their public as a problem. Migrants are the target of racist-fascist parties, moreover, states criminalize migrants with systematic police violence and their policies. Migration is not a crime.
The Greek state with the New Democracy government, introduced new sanctions and policies for migrants and asylum seekers. Migrants and asylum seekers are the target of official and civilian gangs in border areas. Their personal belongings and money are extorted, and they are pushed back by torture. Migrants on the islands are brought to the mainland and kept in camps by police violence. Attacks on migrants' accommodation rights continue. People are forcibly removed from their homes by police operations. They are prevented from healthcare system.
Let's stand against systematic police attacks against refugees and migrants.
Housing and health are the most basic human rights.
Let's stand against racism and fascism!
Let's raise solidarity!
