For the Mitsotakis government to proceed with the immediate recognition of the Palestinian state, the president of the KO of the New Left requests, Alexis Haritsis.

In a statement he states in particular that “a short time ago the governments of Spain, Ireland and Norway announced that they are proceeding with the recognition of the Palestinian state. Whereas, according to official information, other European governments intend to do the same.”

“This is the Europe of solidarity. She is the Europe standing on the right side of history. Against a genocide that is being carried out today at the expense of the Palestinian people against war crimes, as the attorney general calls for the International Criminal Court to characterize them”, he emphasizes.

Mr. Haritsis calls on Mr. Mitsotakis and his government “to stop being the most loyal allies of the far-right Netanyahu government. To proceed with his immediate recognition Palestinian stateas provided by the unanimous decision of the Parliament of December 2015. To stop involving our country in military operations and for the Hydra frigate to return from the Red Sea”.

He argues that “our country, Greece, must stand on the right side of history”. “And this side, is the side of solidarity, is the side of humanitarianism, is the side of international law” he adds and notes: “We, as the New Left, have chosen this side of history.”
