The people must organize their struggle together with the KKE
The MPs of the KKE on the 7th of October voted against the government during the discussion of the government’s programmatic statements. In the end, the government received the votes of 155 MPs (out of the 300 that sit in the Greek Parliament).
Earlier, Dimitris Koutsoumpas, the GS of the CC of the KKE, in his speech in Parliament stressed that the people must not show any more tolerance to the government’s political line. They must fight for their rights in an organized way. The government has no right to interpret the election results as approval for its anti-people policies and the harsh measures it is bringing.
The GS of the CC of the KKE underlined that development with capitalist profit as its criterion runs counter to the people’s prosperity, stressing that for as long as we follow this path, the people will suffer new losses in service of the interests of the business groups both in the crisis phase and in the phase of any form of recovery. It is not the only way, despite what all the other political forces say. There can and must be a radical change of course, there is a development path that can satisfy the needs of society.
D. Koutsoumpas noted that the KKE today is the only guarantee that there will be a genuine people’s opposition inside and outside Parliament with a line of confrontation against the real enemy of the workers, the EU, capital and their power. It will use every means at its disposal to fight for measures to relieve the people.
It advances forwards and calls on the people to organize their struggle, to prepare their counterattack, in a line of rupture with exploitation and capitalist power.
When the people decide to truly take matters into their own hands, nothing can stop them.
