The KKE platform for the Euroelections 2009

A. Papariga presented to the press during a conference on 06/07/2008 the KKE platform for the upcoming Euroelections in 2009. Among other thinks she stressed that the ND and PASOK parties should suffer tough blows with parallel condemnation of SYRIZA double identity and LASO demagogy. The declaration characteristically says: "Euro-elections can and must condemn at nationwide level anti-popular policy and its sectors, the ND government and generally the parties of the euro-one-way street and the EU, all in one package!" and predicts: "Confrontation in Euro-elections is a battle which will certainly have a strong impact on domestic developments also extending to Europe".

Pointing out that "the KKE is the only Greek Party justified for its clear stand against the EU" the declaration says: the ND must suffer a tough blow as the Greek people have felt what "reforms" –widely advertised in its pre-election campaign- mean and has revealed its tough anti-popular policy, as expresser of the big capital interests".

In reference to PASOK, the platform stresses: "it neither wants nor is able to offer a real alternative solution because it has the same strategy with the ND party and the same policy in EU and domestic issues. Both parties serve the superordinate class and monopolios.

Criticizing SYRIZA, the declaration calls workers not to trust it stressing: "neither SYN-SYRIZA is an exit for popular vote but on the contrary an indirect support of anti-popular EU as it systematically hides the truth and cultivates illusions about the EU character.

About LAOS the declaration says: Most of the times LAOS launches demagogies against the EU in order to cover up its nationalism and its support to the big capital. It is trying to hide its old fashioned positions of racism, nationalism and the policy of substantial support to the system.

Finally KKE calls for the vote of the Greek people because "With a strong KKE, the battle of euro-elections can become the start for a strongly united popular movement, a strong coalition of workers, farmers and self-employed and the start for the hopeful road of rifts and reversals to serve the interests of the people”.
