No Greek armed forces mission to the Strait of Hormuz
Before the fragile agreement between the US and Iran has even been signed, the government is already rushing to assert its presence by deploying naval vessels to the Strait of Hormuz. Whatever pretext may be used to justify this new overseas mission, and regardless of the timeframe envisaged, one fact cannot be denied: this is a mission into the lion’s den, serving interests that are alien to those of the Greek people.
KKE MEP Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos stressed the following:
In an article published in its central organ Nameh Mardom ("People's Letter"), the Iranian communist party argues that the country remains trapped in a state of political uncertainty despite the reported framework agreement. According to the article, Iran today finds itself "neither at war nor at peace," facing a complex combination of external threats and deep internal crises.
In a statement, the PCTE argues that the agreement combines anti-worker labor policies, privatization measures, attacks on social rights and reactionary ideological initiatives under the banners of "freedom" and "rural development."
The event, organized by the KKE's Attica Party Organization under the slogan "100 Years Since the Birth of Fidel Castro – We Strengthen Solidarity with Cuba for a World Without Wars and Exploitation, for Socialism", gathered large numbers of workers, youth and supporters who filled the square in front of Peristeri City Hall.
A new controversy in Germany has once again exposed the increasingly problematic stance adopted by the so-called "Left" (Die Linke) on questions of historical memory and the legacy of the Soviet Union.
At the center of the debate is a proposal submitted by the Greens in the Berlin state parliament concerning the Soviet war memorials that commemorate the Red Army's decisive role in the defeat of Nazi Germany. The proposal calls for additional measures and forms of "contextualization" regarding the memorials, under the pretext of preventing their alleged political "misuse" in the context of current geopolitical tensions.
The main leaders of the Euro-Atlantic capitalist bloc will meet at the G7 Summit, to be held in Évian, France, from 15 to 17 June 2026, to update capitalist arrangements regarding energy, which is highly costly for the peoples, the so-called security and anti-people governance.
"If a man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?'"
The old remark by Don Marquis has never been more relevant.
Elon Musk has officially become the world's first trillionaire. Predictably, the newspapers, television networks and business magazines are treating it as a historic achievement. A monument to innovation. A triumph of genius. Proof that capitalism rewards talent.
But a trillion dollars is not a measure of talent. It is rather a measure of power.
"Alongside the foreign media’s focus on political developments in Greece, public interventions by leading local business figures have also become more frequent, reflecting their concern over “stability” and their calls on the Greek parties competing for power to “roll up their sleeves” in order to safeguard it.
In April of 2026, the government of Rodrigo Paz Pereira —inaugurated on November 8, 2025— promulgated Law 1720, which sought to dismantle the constitutional protection of small peasant property in order to favor extractivist large landholdings (latifundio). That law was the spark of an insurrectionary process that, since then, has triggered the deployment of road blockades, an indigenous march from Pando to La Paz, a massive cabildo (popular assembly) in El Alto that shattered any pretense of dialogue with the Executive, and a women's hunger strike picket.

"The recent knife attack in Belfast has shocked communities across Ireland. Our thoughts are with the victim and their family, and those responsible must face the full consequences of the law. However, what followed has been deeply disturbing.
Organised loyalist elements and far-right agitators have sought to exploit this incident to spread fear and division. Homes have been attacked, businesses targeted, vehicles burned, and migrant families subjected to intimidation and violence.

In Moscow, the so-called new international socialist network, Sovintern, has been launched under the leadership of the Russian capital's own “left patriots.”
The initiative is presented with grand rhetoric about socialism, anti-imperialism, anti-colonial struggle, and international solidarity. Yet behind the red symbols, a different reality emerges: not proletarian internationalism, but bourgeois campism.
The discovery of a Ukrainian naval drone carrying hundreds of kilograms of explosives off the coast of the Greek island of Lefkada has sparked political controversy in Greece and renewed concerns over the country's growing involvement in the NATO-backed imperialist war in Ukraine.
According to revelations published by Rizospastis, Organ of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), the drone had reportedly been assigned to strike a Russian Navy vessel escorting a commercial ship linked to Russia's so-called "shadow fleet."
The development comes after months of attempts by the Polish authorities to eliminate the KPP from legal political life. Last December, the Constitutional Tribunal ruled that the party's activities were allegedly incompatible with the country's constitution, providing the legal pretext for its removal from the register.
"Today’s (3 May) General Strike is a powerful action to defeat the Labour Package [of labour laws] which was presented by the PSD/CDS Government and supported by Chega, IL [parties] and the bosses’ confederations. It is a clear rejection of social regression and of the heightened exploitation that they wish to impose upon the workers.
Communism has supposedly been reduced to a relic of the past for more than three decades. Bourgeois politicians, media commentators and professional anti-communists have spent years assuring us that Marxism-Leninism belongs to the past, that socialism was decisively defeated, and that history has already delivered its final verdict. Yet a simple question remains unanswered:
If communism is truly dead, as they claim, why do so many governments continue to fight it so fiercely?
According to TKP’s announcement, the rally will be held on 5 July under the slogan: “NATO means death and dishonor; long live peace, independence and socialism!” The party called on the people to gather before the summit and deliver a strong warning to the imperialists.
Roun succeeds Kateřina Konečná, who had led the party since 2021. The leadership transition comes after a difficult period for the Czech communists, marked by disappointing electoral results and the party's continued struggle to regain parliamentary representation.
