The governor called for an even greater strengthening of the KKE. of the Central Committee of the party, Dimitris Koutsoubasin his speech tonight at a meeting of the Central Committee on Too much.

He noted that in the May 21 elections “a positive step was taken with the significant strengthening of the KKE” adding “in the June elections, with an unfair electoral law, which steals seats to give them as a bonus to the first party, the next positive step, a real struggle, it will be for the KKE to keep and increase the 26 seats that the people gave us, with a larger electoral percentage”.

D. Koutsoubas invited “those who trusted KKE the first time to do it again” and “those who thought of voting for KKE, but hesitated at the last moment, to do it now”.

“They don’t need to give so much power to ND, to SYRIZA, to PASOK. They don’t need to scatter their votes to other smaller schemes. Because on June 25, what will count is how strong the KKE will be, the only party that with consistency, stability and militancy can form an opposition to the ND government and the strategy it will implement,” he underlined.

D. Koutsoubas said that for the KKE the “extortionate dilemma of ‘stability or lack of governance’ never existed because we knew and we know that there is no way that the parties that have a common anti-popular program will not form a government”.

“They could do it in this Parliament that is being dissolved today. However, they want to plunder the votes of the working-class people who did not ‘sting’ in their dilemmas and turned their backs on them” he added.

“What the KKE used to say before the elections, that the next government will be unpopular, is today understood and accepted by many. Today the extortionate dilemma of ‘Mitsotakis or Tsipras’, ‘ND government or progressive governance’, has collapsed together with the percentages of SYRIZA which, as a political party, with its attitude both as a government and as an opposition, ‘washed away’ the politics of the ND and finally fueled it with tens of thousands of votes” said D. Koutsoubas, noting that “even if the infamous progressive ‘muff’ government, as we characterized it, were to emerge, it would also be outright anti-popular, it would move with the same goals, it would had the same commitments as the ND government”.

“The only question that exists today is who can be a militant, strategic opposition to the ND government. In an anti-popular government that will not only continue, but escalate the attack on workers and the people on behalf of business groups,” he said, noting that the KKE “has already revealed to the people that difficult times are ahead.”

He pointed out that “the “stability” that the next ND government promises to ensure is for capital, which, however, means greater instability and insecurity for the people” while “in the goal of this stability for capital, ND also meets , and SYRIZA and PASOK, regardless of what they say, or rather what they don’t say.”

“As much as capital needs a government that will implement its goals, it also needs a ‘consensual’, ‘systemic’ opposition, an opposition that will ‘put its back’ on the difficult, the important and critical, will seek to ensure worker-popular consent to increase the profits of the few. And such ‘opposition’ had and still has: SYRIZA and PASOK” he added.

“SYRIZA and PASOK will in fact occupy the ‘opposition ministries’ in the next anti-popular ND government,” D. Koutsoubas said.

He said that SYRIZA and PASOK are “asking for the support of the people so that the ND government is not omnipotent” emphasizing then: “We answer them: No bourgeois government, no matter how many MPs it has, is not omnipotent, when there is a labor-popular movement, when there is a strong KKE”.

“They rolled out red carpets for ND and Mitsotakis and now they whine about his alleged omnipotence. Of course, when they are not whining about the rates of the ND, they are whining about the low rates of the ‘Left’. We tell them what the left-wing, progressive people who turned their backs on them and supported the KKE also tell them. The KKE fought in practice the policy of the Mitsotakis government and its forces do not add up with those who voted for dozens of its anti-popular laws”, emphasized D. Koutsoubas.

“Those who fought fascism and the AXA cannot be added together with those who in 2023 discovered misled voters to justify fishing for votes in the dirty waters of fascism, such as Tsipras, Konstantopoulou and Varoufakis. And many more” he pointed out, among other things.

Referring to the “disposable parties” he said that they “are recruited to be used in various games within the bourgeois political system, and then as easily as they appeared they are withdrawn”.

“No vote should go to waste, scattered ‘right’ and ‘left’, but should fall, with even greater determination, only to the KKE” he said.

“What counts on June 25 is how strong the KKE will come out, the only party that with consistency, stability and militancy can make a real militant opposition to the ND government and the strategy it will implement,” he said. “He has proven it all the previous years from his action in the parliament and above all he has proven it together with the people and the youth in the streets of the struggle” he added.

D. Koutsoubas emphasized, among other things, that the KKE “is the only party that has no commitments from the system and is therefore the only anti-systemic option” as well as that “it is the only party that fights to change the negative associations , which has a Power-Governance Program which provides for the people to take their destinies into their own hands, not to place their hopes in would-be ‘saviours'”.

He said that the KKE and its MPs will be at the forefront of all the workers’-people’s struggles, “they will be at the front to pave the way for the people themselves to become the protagonists of the developments, to take power themselves with a pure worker-pro-people’s program, central scientific planning of the economy, services, with direct participation and worker – popular control, in a new society of overturning the current rot and brutality”.

“We are not complacent with what we have achieved. We know that many more are now turning their eyes and their hopes to the KKE. We have to meet their expectations. Let’s fight this battle with realism and optimism. For the KKE to be even stronger on June 26. For the people to be stronger. KKE strong, hope is here!” concluded D. Koutsoubas in his speech.
