KKE Protests Ban of KSM
Government of Czech Republic, Mr Mirek Topolanek
Athens, 21.03.2008
The Communist Party of Greece vehemently condemns the decision of Prague Court of Czech Republic setting out of law the Communist Youth Union, Czech Republic upon the accusation that “they support a collective ownership of means of production”. This new provocative decision is added to a plethora/ range of measures and violent actions against the communist, labour and youth anti-imperialist movement.
Both the initial governmental decision in October 2006 banning the action of the Communist Youth Union, Czech Republic (KSM) and the new Court decision aim at preventing the avant-guard fight of the communist and labour movement for the rights of the working people and the youth, for the basic democratic liberties against the establishment of the US “anti-missile shield”.
This deplorable decision is a part of a wider EU anticommunist campaign which is now in progress, criminalizing the communist ideology and the anti-imperialist action, as well as the fight for the socialist transformation of society. It clearly turns against the democratic rights and peoples’ liberties. It proves that the populist declarations of the EU and the bourgeois state included in the “Euro- constitution” – Treaty of Lisbon- are of no value. It constitutes a provocation against the movement of internationalist solidarity expressed to the Communist Youth Union, Czech Republic (KSM).
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) clearly expresses its unconditional support and solidarity with the Communist Youth Union, Czech Republic (KSM).
The Communist Party of Greece calls for the immediate repeal of the decision of the Court of Prague setting the Communist Youth Union, Czech Republic (KSM) out of law, as well as the cancellation of any kind of actions against the communist and labour movement.
The peoples’ right to decide on a social and political system is non-negotiable!
