Read below statements by various Communist and Workers' Parties:
A “Conference of Democratic Forces,” organized by the Popular Left Alliance (PLA) was held at the Karachi Press Club (KPC) on Monday amid heavy police presence, harassment and targeted arrests aimed at disrupting the event. The conference was convened to defend democratic political culture and oppose growing undemocratic interference in politics by the ruling military establishment, as well as anti-people policies and projects.
Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the CC of the KKE, speaking on 4 February 2026 in the plenary session of the Greek Parliament during the debate on the bill of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum for the “promotion of legal migration”, demanded that responsibility be assigned, those guilty be punished and a full investigation be carried out into the real circumstances of the tragedy in Chios.
The much-publicized Epstein scandal is persistently described as a “dark anomaly,” a moral rupture inside an otherwise functioning system. This description is false. What it conceals is more important than what it reveals. The affair did not expose a deviation from capitalism but one of its normal, if usually less visible, operations. By treating Epstein as an exception, bourgeois discourse shields the system that made him possible.
Thirty-five years after the counter-revolution, the overthrow of socialism, and the capitalist restoration in the Soviet Union and other socialist states, the KKE continues to struggle steadfastly under adverse conditions marked by an international unfavourable correlation of forces.
In the letter, the Tudeh Party refers to the current situation in Iran and expresses its categorical opposition to any foreign intervention in the internal affairs of the Iranian people, who alone are responsible and sovereign in deciding the future of their homeland:
"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." In this context, the US is considering imposing tariffs and sanctions on countries that supply Cuba with oil and other vital commodities, as well as a "naval blockade" of the Island of Revolution.
La reciente escalada de amenazas brutales y medidas coercitivas contra Cuba por parte de la administración Trump marca una nueva fase de una política que no es ni accidental ni episódica.
El endurecimiento de las sanciones, el ataque a los suministros de combustible, la intensificación de las restricciones financieras y la retórica abierta de intimidación constituyen en conjunto una agudización deliberada de la guerra económica contra el pueblo cubano.
The recent escalation of vicious threats and coercive measures against Cuba by the Trump administration marks a new phase in a policy that is neither accidental nor episodic.
The tightening of sanctions, the targeting of fuel supplies, the intensification of financial restrictions, and the open rhetoric of intimidation together constitute a deliberate sharpening of economic warfare against the Cuban people.
"From the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), we firmly denounce the new Executive Order issued by President Trump, which seeks to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to Cuba in order to create greater hardships for our people and to obstruct the construction of our socialist model.
