KKE slams EU's Pontius Pilate stance on Turkey-Libya maritime agreement
Reports by international media on Thursday state that the EU Council had reached a draft of its statement that the agreement reached by Turkey and Libya on their maritime borders violates international law. From its side, the Greek government and more specifically Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis have tried to present the EU position as a diplomatic victory for Greece.
“Turkey is isolated,” Mitsotakis said after receiving the overwhelming support of his EU peers for Greece’s opposition to the memorandum of understanding Turkey signed with the Tripoli-based Libyan government last month. He also cited support for Greece’s positions from other countries, including the United States and Israel.

Political event by the KKE in Astoria, New York on December 14th
A political event, organized by the KKE Friends Club in New York, will take place on Saturday 14th December in Astoria.
The subject of the event is "Political developments- The struggle of the KKE against the imperialist plans- The KKE position for the voting rights of the Greeks abroad". A speech will be delivered by Elissaios Vagenas, member of the Central Committee and head of the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE.
Dimitris Koutsoumbas: "USA-NATO-EU do not protect Greece's sovereign rights"
“The
doctrine which says that if Greece is the good child of NATO, USA, EU
will, supposedly, protect its sovereign rights has been completely,
demonstrably and historically bankrupt” said the General Secretary
of the CC of the KKE Dimitris Koutsoumbas during his speech at the Greek Parliament on Wednesday.
Speaking
at the Parliament's Plenary regarding the voting rights of Greeks
abroad, Koutsoumbas accussed both the New Democracy government, as well as the
bourgeois parties of the opposition, that they are all committed to
the doctrine of Greece's participation in the imperialist alliances of
NATO and the EU. The KKE leader blamed the other political forces
that pose a fake dilemma to the Greek people which is “either
regression towards Turkey or conflict and military involvement”.
This dilemma has been highlighted once again these days due to the
“unacceptable agreement between Turkey and Libya”.

"The EU is the flag-bearer of anti-communism and history's distortion" — KKE MEPs
In a statement published in Rizospastis, the Communist Party of Greece group in the European Parliament denounces another anti-communist event organized at the EU Parliament's Plenary for the Berlin Wall fall anniversary, with the major speaker being the President of the German Parliament (Bundestag) Wolfgang Schäuble.
The statement reads: "The anti-communist fiesta organized for the Berlin Wall fall, with a speech by Schauble at the Plenary of the EU Parliament in Brussels, confirms the role of the EU as a "standard-bearer" of anti-communist and history's distortion. Once again, the imperialists distort history and the truth. The Wall was the result of the intervention and aggression of the imperialists, of the continuous subversion against the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
