In response, a demonstration will take place on Saturday, May 16, in Helsingborg. The rally will assemble at 13:00 at Furutorpsplatsen.
The demonstration is organized by several organizations, including the Communist Party of Sweden (SKP). More information is available at stoppanato.nu.
During a press conference, Figuera stated that the current global landscape is marked by stark contrasts between countries resisting the pressures of big capital and those governments that, he said, “submit without resistance.”
In Nazareth, thousands of Jews and Arabs marched from Tawfiq Zayad Street to Mary’s Well Square in the city center, where a rally featuring political speeches was held.
In the late 19th century, industrial workers in the United States typically worked 12 to 14 hours a day under demanding and often dangerous conditions. The demand for an eight-hour day gradually became a central objective of organized labor.
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.”
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.
The European Communist Action calls on the working class across Europe and all the popular strata to participate in the working-class mobilizations on May Day —International Workers' Day— and flood the streets to show the organized strength of workers. We honour the heroes and the fallen of our movement, from those in Chicago to the present day. We continue defiantly along the same path!
In the years that followed, the international response was uneven. Assistance existed, but often moved slowly, tied to political decisions or limited resources. Cuba chose a different course, as Granma recently reminded us.
What is unfolding around Iran is not an isolated war, nor simply another episode of instability in the Middle East. It is part of the ongoing US–Israeli imperialist aggression in the region, which itself unfolds within a broader confrontation between rival imperialist centers.
Within this confrontation, China is not a distant observer or a neutral force. It is a rising capitalist power, deeply involved in the struggle for energy, routes and influence. And increasingly, it is a major strategic rival of the United States.
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.
Various bourgeois media outlets in our country did not conceal their satisfaction, tinged with a dose of irony, at the recent provocative statement by Gennady Zyuganov, Chairman of the Central Commitee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), who declared from the floor of the Russian parliament that a new 1917 —that is, a new revolution— must be avoided.
Read below the two statements:
Statement on Solidarity with the Peoples of Iran, Lebanon, Palestine
“If urgent financial and economic measures are not taken, by autumn we will face a repeat of what happened in 1917, We don't have the right to repeat that” (!!!). Zyuganov stated, raising the specter of revolutionary upheaval.

The forces of DAS rallied in PAME (All-Workers Militant Front), alongside other militant trade unionists, recorded a significant rise in votes, reaching around 27% of the delegates, the highest level in decades. This increase was the largest among all competing lists, reflecting a steady shift in the balance of forces within the labour movement.
Long live free Cuba! (Shouts of: “Long live!”)
Down with the blockade! (Shouts of: “Down with it!”)
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”.
The Working Group decided that the 24th IMCWP will take place in Havana from August 7 to 9, 2026, under the theme: “We defend and honor the legacy of the Cuban Revolution on the centenary of Fidel Castro; we deepen our solidarity with socialist Cuba; we strengthen our joint actions and unite our forces for peace and against imperialist aggression.”
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.
In conditions of intensified imperialist competition—characterized by wars, realignments, and shifts in the global balance of power—the need for theoretical clarity becomes more decisive than ever.
However, it is precisely under such conditions that ideological confusion often appears in the form of radicalism. One of the most characteristic expressions of this confusion today is what is commonly referred to as “Third Worldism”, a current that claims to defend anti-imperialism while deviating from the fundamental principles of Marxism–Leninism.

Six days later, a massive explosion was heard, followed by flames engulfing the fuel depots of the Bulgarian port city of Ruse.
The Republican embrace of Christian nationalism under Donald Trump was never about sincere faith or “traditional values.” It was (and remains) a calculated power play: religion deployed as a bourgeois ideological instrument to consolidate executive authority, divide the working class, and mask naked class war. And Trump has only sharpened this weapon.
