Unveiling of monuments to the Democratic Army of Greece

On Sunday 27 October, in the village of Kottas in the prefecture of Florina, the CC of the KKE organised an event and unveiled a monument on the site where, a few years ago, the mass grave of 311 partisans of the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) was discovered. The struggle of the DSE (1946–1949) was the climax of the class struggle in Greece in the 20th century, when the armed people under the leadership of the KKE clashed with the local bourgeoisie and its imperialist allies, Great Britain and the USA.

 

The GS of the CC of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, unveiled the monument and stated to the media the following:

“This event is in honour of the heroic fighters, the 311 dead of the DSE, who gave their lives here on the heights around the village of Kottas, for the freedom and honour of the people in the most climactic moment of the class struggle in Greece in those years. We honour their memory. We continue their fight, we continue the struggle.”

Later the same day, a similar event took place in the village of Kallithea. in the area of the Prespes lakes, where a monument was unveiled with the names of 1,600 DSE fighters who fell in the battles and who came from the 48 villages of the Prespes region and around Florina.
