No to the EU and to the Euro Treaty
Presenting the party’s positions, in view of the informal EU Summit Meeting on 18 October, KKE Secretary General Aleka Papariga spoke of a double "NO" to the EU and the EU Treaty during a press conference on 15.10.2007.As she pointed out the new treaty offers preponderance over the EU’s Law, adopting the strategy of precautionary war, intensifies the EU’s militarization, abolishes veto and establishes a special majority in favour of the strongest member-states on all issues, touching on national independence and on EU member-states’ independence.
Al. Papariga has also exhibited her support to a referendum because as she said "a request for a referendum is valuable only when it is to the support of the peoples, enabling them to fight for their right through resistance and indiscipline. Moreover, the referendum should not be used to ratify any anti-popular policy as it had happened in neighbouring Italy on the issue of social insurance."
