KKE calls for popular mobilization to disengage Greece from the US–Israeli war in the Middle East

The Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) issued the following statement (here in Greek) regarding developments in the Middle East war and the deployment of military forces to Cyprus:

“The latest dramatic developments in Cyprus, as well as in other countries of the region, in themselves demand that Greece disengage here and now from the flames of war ignited by the United States and Israel with their military attack on Iran.

 

Four Years Under Death’s Ravenous Gaze

The conflict in Eastern Ukraine did not come as a surprise to the KKE. It marked the ignition of a confrontation that had long been in the making — methodically prepared in the pressure cooker of clashing powerful interests — and it is a direct consequence of the capitalist restoration that led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It is worth recalling that at the time, the entire spectrum of Greece’s political establishment, from the far right to the so-called “renewed Left” — except the KKE — was proclaiming that “the avenues of peace and prosperity” were opening up for the peoples.

Report of the CC of the KKE to the 22nd Congress: On the International Communist Movement

The International Communist Movement is facing a chronic and profound ideological, political, and organizational crisis. A significant number of Communist Parties that resisted ideological mutation and remained steadfast during the counter-revolution and faithful to Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism, have been unable to draw conclusions regarding the programmatic causes of the counter-revolutionary overthrows, to study both their history and the history of the communist movement, or to formulate their strategy accordingly — a strategy that reflects the contemporary needs of the class struggle, the struggle for socialist revolution, the overthrow of capitalism, and the construction of socialism–communism.

In a statement regarding the new provocative threats of the U.S administration against Cuba, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stress out:

"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."
