Communist and workers’ parties against imperialist wars: The workers’-people’s struggle will grow stronger with an independent line, away from all bourgeois and imperialist plans.
With this Resolution, on the occasion of the 24th International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties in Havana from 7 to 9 August 2026, we express our solidarity with Cuba and its people, we honour the memory and historic contribution of Comandante Fidel Castro Ruz, leader of the Communist Party of Cuba and of the Cuban Revolution, on the centenary of his birth commemorated this year.
"We thank the organizers for the invitation to participate in the 1st International Symposium “Fidel: Legacy and Future.” From this platform as well, we wish to express the profound solidarity of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), and of all communists in Greece, with the heroic people of Cuba, who for decades have been in the crosshairs of U.S. imperialism.
Addressing the event, Khaled Bakdash, member of the Central Committee and son of Ammar Bakdash, stated among other things: "To me, he was a father. But before and beyond that, he was a comrade who taught me—through his actions before his words—that communism is not merely a political affiliation, but a moral and human commitment to the workers, the peasants and all working people, to everyone who suffers injustice and exploitation."

The delegation had been invited by the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions to participate in a solidarity visit with the Palestinian labor movement.

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.
KKE MEP Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos stressed the following:
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.
