In his statement to the mass media, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) noted the following regarding the results for the elections for the European Parliament and local administration:
“First of all we would like to thank all of those who responded to KKE's call to join forces with it. All of those who honored us, participating in the Party ballot, but also all those who under difficult conditions came to the ballot box and voted for the KKE in the European Parliament elections and for “People's Rally” in the municipal and regional elections. We would especially like to thank all those who took that step for the first time, for the young men and women who gave their very first vote to our Party.
