Aleka Papariga Raises Anti-Communist Motion In Meeting With President of The Republic
Speaking to the press Aleka Papariga labelled “fascist delirium” the anticommunist motion to PACE and said that she explained in detail to the President of the Republic the views of KKE on the issue.
She stated that the position of KKE is that all MPs from Greece, but also from the other European countries, should vote against this motion which does not aim only against the communist parties but also against any idea of resistance and struggle.
“All the big crimes against humanity have been committed in the name of the “communist threat” she said, and noted that should be also considered recent statements of George Bush speaking of conducting a war on the “extremist ideologies”.
Aleka Papariga stressed that with this motion the Council of Europe falls in line with the sayings of president Bush, and by equating communism with Nazism it seeks to confine and silence the popular movements. She added that she is confident that the motion will be condemned in the minds of the people and expressed the hope that it will be rejected at the plenary session of PACE. The motion, concluded, confesses itself that there is a rising “nostalgia” and sympathy for socialism among the people.
At the same time reactions and opposition to the Anti-Communist motion are being intensified. Day by day more trade unions and figures of the political and social life of Greece join the protest and call for the rejection of the anti-communist motion:
