KKE analyses the last political developments
The announcement said that recent events have confirmed the KKE positions that "machinations of the ruling class to reform the political system are underway".
Based on a discussion held by the Central Committee on January 26, the announcement said that the situation after the elections confirmed the predictions and warnings made by KKE before the elections took place, adding that worse measures targeting working classes would come whether New Democracy or PASOK were in power.
Stressing that the two main parties "express and serve the interests of capital" and could not change, it repeated a call for voters to back KKE's "proposal for another way of growth that served the interests of the majority of the people and not the profits of capitalists".
The CC statement underlines that an attempt was underway to "create bipolar formations, if the two-party system stopped being the most suitable means for manipulating popular forces, in order to stem radical workings developing in the working class and the masses". At another point it suggested that the smaller opposition parties like SYN-SYRIZA and LAOS formed part of these ‘bipolar formations’.
Regarding SYRIZA the statement notes that the Leftist alliances "hypocritically" promoted by SYN-SYRIZA had been proved to lead to the incorporation and submission of the popular movement, to a "cosmetic improvement" of the barbarity of capital.
"For some time now, SYN has bowed to the 'one-way road' of European capital and the centre-left. It is cooperating with PASOK in municipalities, in prefectures in the trade union movement. Now it is using Leftist phraseology to conceal the essence of its choices. It is cultivating illusions that the balance of power can change top-down in favour of the people"
