The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has launched a sharp attack against the newly announced political party of former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, denouncing it as an attempt to recycle bankrupt social-democratic illusions and construct a new pillar for the stabilization of the bourgeois political system in Greece.

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.

The European Parliamentary Group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has sent a new letter to the Vice-President of the European Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, condemning the latest Israeli pirate attack against the solidarity flotilla heading to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid.

The letter by the Party’s MEPs, Kostas Papadakis and Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos, reads as follows:

KKE MEP: Any attempt at US military intervention in Cuba must be condemned and prevented

During the hypocritical debate on human rights in Cuba held at the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE’s) MEPs intervened through a statement delivered by the Party's Eurodeputy Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos.

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:

War against Iran: Trump's whim or a link in the strategy of US imperialism?

By Eliseos Vagenas 

The critical developments in the Persian Gulf region, marked by the US and Israeli military attack against Iran , which began on February 28, cast their shadow over global developments.

Every bourgeois media outlet and analyst has grabbed a “daisy”, trying to guess “will Trump strike again, or will he not strike again”. Such an approach, however, leaves important aspects of imperialist plans far from our attention and cultivates the mistaken perception that the peoples are hostages of a personality (Trump), who may not stand firm in his logic. 

KKE General Secretary: The government must not dare send Greek officers and conscripts to the Persian Gulf

The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), Dimitris Koutsoumbas, addressed the mass political rally organized on Wednesday 6 May by the Central Macedonia Organization of the KKE in Thessaloniki, commemorating the workers’ uprising of May 1936.

At that time, the working class of Thessaloniki, led by tobacco workers and guided by the KKE, launched major strikes and demonstrations demanding better living conditions, effectively taking control of the city for two days.

The joint session of the European Parliament’s Committees on Foreign Affairs (AFET) and Human Rights (DROI), convened under the pretext of discussing “the human rights situation in Cuba,” was intended to become yet another parade of opponents and subversive elements hostile to the Cuban people, including the notorious provocateur José Daniel Ferrer, thus providing further justification for imperialist aggression against Cuba.

 

KKE condemns Israeli assault on Gaza solidarity flotilla

In a statement issued today, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) condemns “the new piratical attack by the terrorist state of Israel against the international solidarity flotilla for Gaza, which placed the lives of hundreds of people in grave danger.”

The KKE notes that “the Greek government must provide specific answers, as the Israeli assault took place off Crete, in international waters and within Greece’s area of responsibility for search and rescue operations.” 

KKE MEPs denounce provocation by EU Commission

It demands the withdrawal of the persistent questions of historical truth raised by the sacrifice of the 200 communist heroes of Kaisariani 

The Commission is provocatively demanding the withdrawal of the Question submitted by the KKE’s MEPs. Based on the striking photographic evidence of the 200 communists who stood up face to face with the Nazi monster, the Question exposes the unhistorical nature of the EU’s ideology, which equates communism with the monster of fascism, as well as its undermining and deliberate stance towards the still-unfulfilled demand that German war reparations be paid for the Nazi atrocities in Greece.

KKE honors the 200 executed communist heroes of Kaisariani with mass political rally

At the historic site of the Kaisariani Shooting Range, where 200 communists were executed by Nazi occupation forces on May Day 1944, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, delivered a political speech during a mass political-cultural event organized by the Party Organization of Attica on Saturday evening.

The event, held under the theme “Reading the history of the world through small names,” was marked by the recent publication of photographic documents from the execution—images that, as Koutsoumbas stressed, have deeply moved and shaken society.

KKE: On the attempt to whitewash Spanish social democracy in order to mislead the people

The path to peace or the deception of the people?

Comment by the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE on the attempt to whitewash Spanish social democracy in order to mislead the people:

Once again, both internationally and in our country, social democratic forces —such as PASOK, SYRIZA, the New Left, as well as other opportunist forces in Greece— are rushing, with no small degree of exaggeration, to celebrate, publishing headlines such as “Do it like Sánchez” and claiming that Spain “is choosing the path of peace”.

How the European Parliament promotes anti-Cuban propaganda by applying double standards

A revealing case of “double standards” by the European Parliament has come to light regarding its stance toward socialist Cuba.

On 13 January 2026, the parliamentary group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) scheduled an exhibition dedicated to the internationalist contribution of Cuban doctors, focusing on the Henry Reeve medical brigades and their role in supporting peoples affected by pandemics and natural disasters. The exhibition was rejected by the Parliament’s authorities.

KKE: 65 years since the heroic victory of the Cuban Revolution at the Bay of Pigs

On the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the heroic victory of the Cuban Revolution at the Bay of Pigs, the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses out: 

"In April 1961, the armed people of Cuba, under the leadership of Fidel Castro, crushed the attempted landing of US mercenary forces, inflicting a humiliating defeat on  North American imperialism.

The revolutionaries, led by the communists, delivered a decisive response to imperialist plans, halting the United States’ counter-revolutionary schemes, shattering the myth of the omnipotence of the imperialist superpower, and inspiring hope among the peoples of the world.

KKE: U.S and Israel exploit fragile ceasefire as deadly strikes hit Lebanon

The Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) issued a statement regarding Israel’s deadly attacks on Lebanon and the statements made by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:

“Israel’s deadly attacks on Lebanon—among the most lethal in recent weeks—demonstrate that the United States and Israel are exploiting the fragile ceasefire, which also included Lebanon, in order to recalibrate their attack tactics, at a time when none of the originally declared objectives of their imperialist intervention in Iran have been achieved.
