The exhibition and the accompanying Vietnam Culture Day in Greece were co-organized by the Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site at the Presidential Palace, the Embassy of Vietnam in Greece and the New Star Art Cinema, marking the 115th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh's departure in search of a path to national liberation and the 51st anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Greece.
Among other things, the GS of the CC of the KKE noted in his speech that “today, all developments make it clear that the gap is widening between the potential that exists to radically improve our lives and the way we actually live under the current exploitative system.
No Greek armed forces mission to the Strait of Hormuz
Before the fragile agreement between the US and Iran has even been signed, the government is already rushing to assert its presence by deploying naval vessels to the Strait of Hormuz. Whatever pretext may be used to justify this new overseas mission, and regardless of the timeframe envisaged, one fact cannot be denied: this is a mission into the lion’s den, serving interests that are alien to those of the Greek people.
The event, organized by the KKE's Attica Party Organization under the slogan "100 Years Since the Birth of Fidel Castro – We Strengthen Solidarity with Cuba for a World Without Wars and Exploitation, for Socialism", gathered large numbers of workers, youth and supporters who filled the square in front of Peristeri City Hall.

The discovery of a Ukrainian naval drone carrying hundreds of kilograms of explosives off the coast of the Greek island of Lefkada has sparked political controversy in Greece and renewed concerns over the country's growing involvement in the NATO-backed imperialist war in Ukraine.
According to revelations published by Rizospastis, Organ of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), the drone had reportedly been assigned to strike a Russian Navy vessel escorting a commercial ship linked to Russia's so-called "shadow fleet."
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.
Following a large demonstration on Saturday (23/5) afternoon, hundreds of demonstrators marched toward the U.S. embassy chanting: “Hands off Cuba!”, “Cuba is not alone!” and the historic anti-imperialist slogan “Neither land nor water to the murderers of the peoples!”.
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.

Thousands of students across Greece voted for “Panspoudastiki”, strengthening the militant student movement and delivering a clear message against the anti-education policy of the New Democracy government, the commercialization of higher education and the reactionary plans for private universities.
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 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.

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.
“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.
No sacrifices for the imperialists’ wars – Greece out of the war
1. The KKE calls on the working class, the people and the youth to remain vigilant and to take militant action. Let the alarm be sounded everywhere. Let opposition to the imperialist war and to our country’s dangerous involvement in it be expressed and strengthened. Our country must not become a target for reprisals. The people and their children must not be made to bear the consequences of war.
The rally sent a strong political message against the decades-long U.S. blockade and imperialist threats, with demonstrators chanting and proclaiming that “Cuba is not alone.”
