In their question, they state:
"Having become emboldened after its imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration is now intensifying its aggression against Cuba, with the ridiculous argument that it is "facing aggressive actions." In this context, the US is considering imposing tariffs and sanctions on countries that supply Cuba with oil and other vital commodities, as well as a "naval blockade" of the Island of Revolution.
The alarming developments were raised in the European Parliament by Kostas Papadakis, MEP of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), who exposed the Czech authorities’ plan to equate communist ideas with so-called “totalitarianism” and to apply harsh criminal sanctions.
Backed by the EU, whose official ideology is anti-communism, the Fiala government in the Czech Republic has pushed through despicable changes to the penal code. These changes provocatively criminalize support for communist ideology, equating it with Nazism and making it punishable by up to five years in prison. This paves the way for dangerous developments, such as the banning of the Communist Party and communist activity in the Czech Republic.
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.
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.
More specifically, the KKE statement (here in Greek) reads:
"With the EU Commission being the initiator of a debate-parade of anti-communists in the plenary of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the EU is working on another anti-communist and unhistorical 'day of remembrance' under the name of 'European Day of Righteous'.
The statement (here in Greek) reads:
Recently, in a statement addressed to the EU Commission's VP Josep Borrell, the Europarliament Group of the KKE denounces the inclusion of Cuba in the list.
KKE rallies are taking place all over Greece. Its cadres are visiting workplaces, working-class and popular neighborhoods, and are calling on the people to vote for the Party in the upcoming elections.
"Workers, employees, toiling farmers, self-employed tradesmen, scientists, artists, pensioners, women, young people of working-class families
The KKE calls on you to join it in the struggle for the European elections on 9 June!
The European Parliament has never ceased being an endless source of anti-communist propaganda. Having adopted anti-communism as its official ideology, the EU and its institutions relentlessly continue the attempt to re-write history by promoting the deeply unscientific and unhistorical theory of "the two extremes".
More specifically, according to a recent statement by the Europarliament Group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), the EU Parliament published a report on “European historical consciousness”, in which it “acknowledges the crimes committed by Nazi, fascist and communist totalitarian regimes as well as under colonialism...”!
Through the resolution adopted by the European parliament on 12/7/23, it is once again demonstrated that the EU’s long-standing aim is to undermine the achievements of the Cuban people.
As 902 portal reports, among others, the KKE MEPs question stresses out:
The MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) took the floor during the debate on the “Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement between Cuba and the EU” at the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. In his speech, KKE MEP Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos stressed the following:
