A call for “decisive strengthening of the ballots of the People’s Rally in all Regions and municipalities” was addressed by the mayor. of the Central Committee of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoubas, in his speech this evening at a large gathering for the local elections in Nice, “in the red of popular struggles, sacrifices and memory”.

“In Sunday’s ballot box, there may be a surprise with the nomination of more municipal and regional councilors throughout Greece. By electing communist mayors who will defend the right of the people, like Kostas Peletidis in Patras. And Kokkinia, Nikaia and Rentis, can really make a surprise and elect a communist mayor, Panagiotis Katifes, and raise even higher the percentages of the ‘Popular Rally’ in the Region led by Yiannis Protoulis” he said.

D. Koutsoumbas said that the strengthening of the ballots supported by the KKE “expresses the discontent of the working people, towards the ND government, which in the first 100 days of the second term – 1000 seemed to be Mitsotakis – writes non-stop the anti-popular her counter”.

Pointing out that “a lot has been collected, which testify that the life, the needs of the people, are sacrificed for the profits of the few, the robbers – capitalists” he emphasized “that’s why now it’s time to say ‘enough is enough, no more’!” We are casting the ‘People’s Rally’ ballot in all the polls on Sunday.”

D. Koutsoumbas said that the ND government “with Mr. Mitsotakis first and foremost, confesses that it wants to run its anti-people program more decisively with new supports in the municipalities and regions that it will have in its hands”.

“Regional governors and mayors with whom – they say – they can get along and who will share their pro-monopoly development program.

Regional governors and mayors who will share and serve the priorities of the Recovery Fund. A Fund, which fills business groups with hot money. With bloody surpluses for the coveted investment tier, which the people themselves will pay for with new taxes and levies, with new cuts in social spending, with greater exploitation.

All of them will share and serve without delay the ‘green businesses’ and how they are progressing in each region. They will share and serve as one the policy that considers the protection of human life as a cost and suffocates, burns, flattens entire regions, human lives and brings new crime after another. They will share and serve in the most vulgar way the transformation of our country into a military base of the USA and NATO. The ND government wants such mayors and regional governors,” he added.

He noted that the government had such “not only its own, but also where both SYRIZA and PASOK backed the implementation of the ‘central policies of the government’, as Mr. Mitsotakis himself admits.”

“They will continue to do the same now. Big businessmen need such people for their plans and they find them on all the ballots: And of ND and SYRIZA and PASOK” he added

He emphasized that what the workers and people living in slums need to live humanely “stable work, with a decent salary, free recreational areas for the people, modern schools and daycare centers for their children, public health services, culture , sports for themselves and their families and a bunch of others, they will find them only in the positions and claims of the combinations of the ‘People’s Rally’ that supports the KKE. Because we have for our positions the needs of the many and not the profits of the few”.

D. Koutsoubas reminded, among other things, that “both the old and the new know that the communists here in Kokkinia held high the fighting legacy left to them by the older ones. How fighters who felt progressive, leftist, did not take a step back, held up the flag of truth and justice, well protected the values ​​and ideals of the struggle and did not dry up”.

“Those who feel left-wing should do the same now. All those who see with their own eyes, that SYRIZA, has now severed all ties with anything reminiscent of the left, labor-popular movement. Another proof, the election of Kasselakis, that this party has now completed its course of full integration into this rotten and corrupt system. A course that was supported and tolerated by some of those who today appear as alleged guardians of his ‘leftist’ character” he said and added:

“That’s why we say to all those who are concerned about whether or not they will be part of this process, the municipal and regional elections next Sunday are another opportunity to follow the example of many who came before, who left SYRIZA, chose association with the KKE and they did not regret it. They did not feel betrayed even for a moment and today several of them are on the ballots of the ‘People’s Rally'”.

He called to join “on the road the honor and the struggle” because “in the face of all kinds of Messiahs – defeating stars of Euro-Atlanticism, we persist and put into practice ‘only the people save the people’, with organization, collective action, solidarity and with more stronger the KKE”.

“So that no Mitsotakis can celebrate on Sunday that the map was painted blue, we say it clearly! We want and seek to make him laugh. And this here in Kokkinia and Renti can be done in one way: By electing a militant mayor.

Because the KKE is today the only real opponent of the ND government and we certainly did not expect Adonis Georgiadis to tell us this, after the anti-labor monstrosity he brought to Parliament.

So, just as the ND government wants to elect its supporters in the municipalities and regions, so the people must have their own strong supporters. And these are the candidates of the KKE” said D. Koutsoubas.

“Everywhere in Greece, the combinations supported by the KKE have the same name: It is the ‘Popular Rally’, with the well-known red carnation of struggle, justice and hope as its symbol,” said the mayor. of the Central Committee of the KKE and expressed his belief that “our people will with their struggle impose their right and create beautiful cities that will prioritize the interests of the great popular majority and not the interests of the exploiters of the people’s toil” .
