Brazil's communist parties have responded to the re-election of social-democrat Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the subsequent flight of defeated far-right presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro to the United States, warning that the electoral defeat of Bolsonarism does not eliminate the threat of reactionary forces, coup attempts and imperialist interference. 

In separate statements, the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) and the Brazilian Revolutionary Communist Party (PCBR) stressed the necessity of mass mobilization and independent working-class struggle, while offering distinct assessments of the post-election political situation.

KKE Europarliament Group calls member-states to support Cuba's resolution at the UN General Assembly

Call by the KKE’s European Parliamentary Group to EU member states to vote in favor of Cuba’s resolution at the UN General Assembly to lift the U.S. embargo. 

In light of yet another Cuban resolution at the UN General Assembly calling for the lifting of the criminal U.S. embargo, the Cuban people are currently facing great difficulties, under the threat of a U.S. military invasion and the CIA’s openly declared plans to undermine and overthrow the Cuban government. Since early 2026, they have been facing an energy blockade that amounts to an act of genocide.

The following is an English translation of an interview with Aramís Fuente Hernández, Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to Greece, originally published in Rizospastis, Organ of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), on October 24, 2026. 

For 34 years, the overwhelming majority of UN member states have supported lifting the brutal blockade, which has become even more suffocating this year with the imposition of an energy embargo. At the same time, pressure from the United States and its Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who comes from Miami's anti-Cuban political establishment, has intensified as Washington seeks to persuade various countries to change their votes.

Commenting on the dismissal of US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle by the Trump administration, amid mounting allegations of corruption and misconduct, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stated:

“The dismissal of US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle by the Trump administration, for reasons of its own, thoroughly exposes, first and foremost, the New Democracy government, which had been singing her praises even before she took office, and all the more so afterwards, while concealing her role and interventions.

 

The Astonishing Costs for US Working People of the Endless War on Cuba

By Chris Townsend 

Few in the United States would know the true history of relations between our country and the Caribbean nation of Cuba. The United States seized Cuba during the Spanish-American War of 1898. A brief, opportunist war triggered by the U.S. on flimsy pretexts to grab several valuable pieces of the decaying Spanish Empire. In addition to Cuba and the Philippines, the islands Puerto Rico and Guam were quickly subjugated by the U.S. military in the conflict.

Rubio in Athens: Imperialist Hubris in the Shadow of the Parthenon

By Nikos Mottas

Marco Rubio’s speech at the historic Pnyx in Athens on October 7 was a textbook exercise in imperialist propaganda. Invoking ancient Greek democracy, philosophy and civilization, the US Secretary of State attempted to give Washington’s pursuit of global supremacy the appearance of a noble historical mission. Behind the grandiose rhetoric, however, stood the familiar doctrine of US imperial power, military superiority and capitalist domination.

KKE slams Rubio's visit: Greece must stop serving as a launchpad for US imperialist wars

During US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Athens, the Greek government agreed to deepen the country’s involvement in US-NATO military plans, expand arms purchases and strengthen energy cooperation serving US and Greek business interests. The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) fiercely condemned these agreements, warning of the growing dangers for the Greek people.

In a statement, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE stresses:

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is due to visit Greece on Tuesday, October 6, amid growing opposition to his visit and to Greece’s involvement in US-NATO military plans. KKE organizations have already held rallies and pickets in neighborhoods across Attica, while the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) is campaigning under the slogan “Rubio Go Home”; the KKE is also calling for mass participation in Tuesday’s demonstrations organized by trade unions and the anti-war movement, including the rally at Syntagma Square in Athens at 7:30 p.m.

The Greek Committee for International Détente and Peace (EEDYE) has issued a similar call, declaring Rubio “unwelcome” in Greece.

The mobilization stands in sharp contrast to the policy of the New Democracy government, which has deepened Greece’s strategic alignment with Washington and facilitating US-NATO military operations. 

Delcy Rodríguez at the UN: The speech of capitulation

Editorial published in Tribuna Popular, Organ of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV):

Delcy Rodríguez’s speech before the 81st United Nations General Assembly deserves to be examined closely, not only for what she said, but for everything she left unsaid. 

Rodríguez avoided any direct reference to the US military intervention of January 3, which culminated in the abduction of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, presenting those events instead as “a painful ordeal” for Venezuela.

The other September 11: Chile, Allende and the myth of the “peaceful road” to Socialism

By Nikos Mottas

There is another September 11, one that communists, socialists and progressive people around the world remember for very different reasons from the date that dominates mainstream Western political memory. On 11 September 1973, in Santiago de Chile, a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet, with the active support of the United States, overthrew the Popular Unity government of Salvador Allende.

Mecca Agreement: The new tool of imperialism in the Middle East design

By Ayhan Keser* 

Many news articles and commentaries have been written about the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement (Mecca Agreement), signed on August 7, 2026, between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. 

To prevent the exaggerations and contradictions in these comments from obscuring the significance of the development, they need to be examined more closely.

Gusanos and traitors: The Cuban-American servants of U.S. Imperialism

For more than six decades, U.S. imperialism has tried to crush the Cuban Revolution through blockade, sanctions, sabotage, subversion and economic strangulation. Washington has never forgiven Cuba for breaking with U.S. domination and choosing socialism.

A particularly reactionary layer of Cuban-American politicians — the political descendants of Miami’s gusano counterrevolution — has made this aggression a career.
