| Billboard celebrating the KSS's 100th anniversary in 2021 |
The case dates back to 2021, when the KSS marked the centenary of its foundation with a nationwide campaign featuring commemorative posters bearing the hammer and sickle and the slogan "Without socialism, it will not work."
Authorities in Germany, as well as in the Baltic states, banned the “display” and posting of Soviet and anti-fascist symbols during the celebrations on May 9, the Day of the Great Anti-Fascist Victory of the Peoples.
Among other things, the GS of the CC of the KKE noted in his speech that “today, all developments make it clear that the gap is widening between the potential that exists to radically improve our lives and the way we actually live under the current exploitative system.
The delegation had been invited by the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions to participate in a solidarity visit with the Palestinian labor movement. However, despite the official invitation, Israeli authorities prevented the delegation from entering Palestine and ultimately deported its members.
No Greek armed forces mission to the Strait of Hormuz
Before the fragile agreement between the US and Iran has even been signed, the government is already rushing to assert its presence by deploying naval vessels to the Strait of Hormuz. Whatever pretext may be used to justify this new overseas mission, and regardless of the timeframe envisaged, one fact cannot be denied: this is a mission into the lion’s den, serving interests that are alien to those of the Greek people.
KKE MEP Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos stressed the following:
The event, organized by the KKE's Attica Party Organization under the slogan "100 Years Since the Birth of Fidel Castro – We Strengthen Solidarity with Cuba for a World Without Wars and Exploitation, for Socialism", gathered large numbers of workers, youth and supporters who filled the square in front of Peristeri City Hall.
"Alongside the foreign media’s focus on political developments in Greece, public interventions by leading local business figures have also become more frequent, reflecting their concern over “stability” and their calls on the Greek parties competing for power to “roll up their sleeves” in order to safeguard it.
The discovery of a Ukrainian naval drone carrying hundreds of kilograms of explosives off the coast of the Greek island of Lefkada has sparked political controversy in Greece and renewed concerns over the country's growing involvement in the NATO-backed imperialist war in Ukraine.
According to revelations published by Rizospastis, Organ of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), the drone had reportedly been assigned to strike a Russian Navy vessel escorting a commercial ship linked to Russia's so-called "shadow fleet."

Delegates from across Italy reviewed the party's experience in political and organizational work, discussing efforts to strengthen communist organization in a country where the communist movement continues to face the heavy consequences of opportunism and Eurocommunism.
The new party, officially presented on Tuesday, May 26, in Athens under the name Hellenic Left Alignment (ELAS), is being promoted as a “progressive” force capable of reshaping the Greek center-left.
In a statement issued by the International Relations Section of the KKE Central Committee, the party denounced the arrests and police violence targeting cadres of the CPI(M), stressing that such measures are aimed at intimidating the workers’ and popular movement in India and suppressing political struggle against anti-people policies.
Following a large demonstration on Saturday (23/5) afternoon, hundreds of demonstrators marched toward the U.S. embassy chanting: “Hands off Cuba!”, “Cuba is not alone!” and the historic anti-imperialist slogan “Neither land nor water to the murderers of the peoples!”.
“We condemn the provocative issuance by the United States of an arrest warrant against the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raúl Castro —a move through which US imperialism once again bares its teeth against the heroic Cuban people, whom it has long sought to strangle economically through the criminal blockade imposed upon the country.
The letter by the Party’s MEPs, Kostas Papadakis and Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos, reads as follows:
The debate, which began with High Representative Kaja Kallas remaining silent on the US embargo, soon descended into an outpouring of anti-communism, attacks, and threats directed against Cuba. These, however, were firmly answered by both the KKE MEP and other MEPs.
On the Plundering of the Soviet Legacy
At present, two main tactics are being employed by the bourgeois classes in the territories of the former Soviet Union against the communist movement:
