Mr President,
These days we are witnessing a new escalation in the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza by the Israeli state, which has so far caused over 61,000 casualties, of whom more than 28,000 are women and girls.
The centre-right Democratic Alliance of Prime Minister Luis Montenegro won 91 seats in the 230-seat single-chamber parliament, including two from out-of-country voting. While it garnered more seats than in 2024, it again fell short of a majority needed to end a long period of instability.
1. The Imperialist system is not limited to the USA alone. Nor is it a nebulous enemy to blame at will. Imperialism is the name for the world system dominated by international monopolies. In this system, capitalist countries compete with each other to seize a larger share of the world’s wealth and to conquer new areas of investment and exploitation.

On Thursday 22 May, in light of the dramatic developments experienced by the Palestinian people due to the brutality of the Israeli state, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, the GS of the CC and President of the KKE Parliamentary Group, sent a letter to the leaders of the opposition parliamentary groups (excluding the fascists of the ‘Spartans’ party). Despite the different positions held by political parties, the letter was sent based on the unanimous decision of the Greek Parliament in 2015 to recognize the Palestinian state.
According to the brothers, they were walking to a hospital when a police car suddenly stopped near them. Officers jumped out, claiming the brothers were «wanted for evading military service,» and attempted to forcibly take them to a recruitment center (TCC).

This time, members and supporters of the KKE and KNE blocked a convoy of trucks transporting 155mm calibers produced at the Hellenic Defense Systems SA and utilized on the front lines of the Ukrainian war.
The incident took place in Lavrio, a town 40km south-east of Athens.
The letter proposes the creation of a joint draft text that will be addressed to the Greek government urging it to take - also in its capacity as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council - relevant initiatives on the following issues:
"The Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the encounter of 27 Maoists, including their General Secretary Nambala Kesavarao, in Chhattisgarh.
— Amid the annihilation war in Gaza, have there been changes in the Palestinian political arena?
The Communist and Workers’ Parties condemn the new crime against the Palestinian people, which is being carried out before the eyes of the whole world and has been brought about by the intensification of the barbaric military aggression and the criminal Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.
The statue carries a plaque that reads: "To the organizer and inspirer of the victory of the Soviet people over the Nazi invaders, Generalissimo of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin, from grateful descendants."
The joint statement, initiated by the KKE and addressed to the President of the European Commission and the College of Commissioners, condemns anti-communism and has been also sent to other MEPs for further signatures.

"They are there on behalf of an alliance (!)
An alliance whose members laugh and joke at each other in luxurious halls, at sumptuous tables, and shower each other with gifts.

The Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece made the following statement:
A new provocative attempt to equate communism with Nazism and take measures against communist symbols took place in the European Parliament, “Rizospastis” newspaper has reported. Five MEPs of the European People's Party (EPP) asked the Commission to ban the hammer and sickle - which they shamelessly equate with the Nazi swastika (!) - just a few days after the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Anti-Fascist Victory of the Peoples, led by the Soviet Union and the Red Army.
Statement by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) regarding the dissolution decision announced by the PKK militant group:
With today’s announcement by the PKK, a new chapter begins in Turkey’s political and social dynamics. Naturally, our party supports the aspect of the process referred to as the “silencing of arms.”
