Estonian ex-president re-writes history: "The Nazis did not invade the Soviet Union"!

During the last years the anti-communist distortion of history in the Baltic countries has become an official policy. The EU and the USA support the attempt to historically rehabilitate and vindicate the fascists in the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), as well as in Ukraine, who during the 2^nd World War aligned with the Nazis.

Koutsoumbas: Tsipras surpassed all limits of adventurism in order to deceive the people

Commenting on yesterday's governmental show at Zappion Hall in Athens- where Prime Minister Tsipras wore a tie in order to “celebrate” the debt deal with the creditors- the General Secretary of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece Dimitris Koutsoumbas said:

“The ridiculous fiestas of Tsipras and Kammenos can only be characterized as a provocation towards the people who continue to be challenged with old as well as new measures agreed by the SYRIZA-ANEL government. Mr Tsipras may wore and took off the tie, but the noose he put around our people's neck remains and tightens even more, with the “post-memorandum” austerity memorandum he has put on their shoulders […] and if there is something with which we agree with the Prime Minister is that he actually managed to do the dirty job, on behalf of the big capital, of the EU and NATO, thus being the “best student”!” said the KKE General Secretary.

Greek debt deal: KKE slams government's celebrations, warns of new harsh policies

“The government's celebrations can not hide that yesterday's Eurogroup agreement is essentially a post-memorandum Memorandum [of austerity]. The so-called "post-memorandum" period, not only will not be accompanied by substantial relief for the working-class strata but will involve new burdens. The huge budget surpluses, the rigid surveillance and approval of the process of "reforms" by the "institutions", the privatizations, the preservation of all antipeople measures in the Memorandums, and the completion of all those “remaining issues” reveal the true outcome of the agreement" points out the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) in a statement on the Eurogroup decision on Greek debt.
