Mikis is the composer of of our hearts, the composer who signified the resistance, the struggle of the peoples and the youth. These efforts, the initiatives taken by Mr Atalanti Choir Cultural Association, such as dedicating this concert to Mikis today, but also the support of the Conservatory of the Holy Diocese of Fthiotida. We think that the youth learns, is taught music through them, is taught History, is taught competitive promotion for the competitions to come”.

Also D. Koutsoubas answering a journalist’s question about its founding meeting of Communist European Action which took place on Saturday morning, he emphasized: “The initiative we took to create the Communist European Action, with the participation of many communist and labor parties from the countries of Europe, aims to coordinate the struggles of our peoples, because they are common the problems of the peoples in all EU countries, but also more widely in all of Europe, in the whole region, such as the imperialist war in the Middle East, in Ukraine, in other regions of the world, but also the major economic popular problems that we face in our countries. This is how we give this trigger, to move forward and give Greece and other countries the battle of the European elections, in June 2024, with a much stronger KKE. From now on, we are calling for the cooperation of wider forces, people who followed other parties but today look forward to what the KKE stands for and consider it a force, really, which can resist this EU and anti-popular policies”.
