“Convergence with the EU of the lobbies of corruption, monopolies and wars we have never had and neither do we want to have”, notes in an interview, the Secretary General of the Central Committee of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoubas.

Speaking to “Journal of the Editors”, he emphasizes that “beyond its stinking history, the policy of the EU, implemented today by the ND government with the consent of everyone else, is behind every small and big problem facing our people today” he adds.

“Convergences”, he points out, “we have with the Europe of the peoples, who have taken to the streets en masse in all member states in recent years against key choices of the EU and governments”, stressing “consequently, the vote for the KKE in the European elections , it will also be a message of hope and struggle to all the peoples of Europe, it will be a vote in favor of the Europe of the peoples”.

He explains that the slogan “Stronger KKE” means that “on the day after the elections, the people themselves will be and feel stronger, in the battles that are ahead of us and that we must fight together.

Because on June 10, the EU’s “bloody” surpluses, “frozen” wages, the supposedly “green” transition with “green” taxes, imperialist wars and our country’s involvement in them will be here.”

“This is the “stability” Mr. Mitsotakis is talking about and which no other party disputes. Therefore, the people have the possibility with their vote and their struggle to shake this “stability”” says D. Koutsoubas.

Responding to “in which seats of the European Parliament do the MEPs of the KKE sit” and to the question “if he considers it impossible, even in the European Parliament, to have some kind of “cooperation” with the rest of the Left” he said that “it is well known that all these years the MEPs of the KKE, not only sit on the left side, but above all with their overall attitude they are the only ones who have saved the honor and reputation of all those who feel left-wing”.

“Other MEPs who sit on the left benches, such as those of SYRIZA and the “New Left”, voted and aligned themselves with the right, the extreme right, the liberals, the social democrats and the “greens”, to co-shape directives-“extremes” at the expense of the peoples. They voted in favor of the resolutions supporting the murderers of the “Holy Defense Alliance” of NATO, as Mr. Kasselakis calls it, the deeper involvement of our country in the massacre of the imperialists in Ukraine, the shameless support of Israel’s alleged “right of self-defense”, which commits genocide at the expense of the Palestinian people, the “washing” of the EU” he said and added:

“What kind of ‘collaboration’ can there be with all of them?” Against the “sea” of applauders of the EU, NATO, capitalist exploitation and wars, the attitude, position and vote of the KKE MEPs stand out. Because they defend popular interests both where anti-popular decisions are made, in the European Parliament, and where they are overturned, on the road to struggle.

D. Koutsoubas notes, among other things, in his interview that “the ND government now needs to “cut back”, not get a blank check for the continuation it is preparing”.

He points out that “however, the policy of the ND government cannot be condemned without simultaneously condemning the policy of the EU, which it implements to the letter. ND is not penalized by voting for the other EU parties, namely SYRIZA, PASOK, the New Left, the parties of Velopoulos and Konstantopoulos”.

He adds that “the 50% recorded in the opinion polls as being dissatisfied with the EU, can express their dissatisfaction by voting for the KKE which will, at the same time, be the most positive vote in favor of the rights of the many, in favor of a better tomorrow for the Greek people”.

Asked “what will the Greek people gain in practice” if the KKE increases its percentage in relation to the parliamentary elections, he first referred with specific examples to what “the Greek people have gained in practice, with the strengthening of the current of questioning of the dominant policy that was captured in the increased percentages of the KKE in the last election contests and, of course, with his struggle. After all, these two go together, one strengthens the other.”

“The KKE devotes all its strength to these struggles, and on the other hand, we see hope and perspective there. After all, the strengthening of the KKE mainly offers this: The indisputable proof that, against the current of the times, in Greece the vision remains alive, the flame of the demand for a just society, without exploitation of man by man, remains lit. The real and realistic way out for the benefit of the people exists and is found in the policy and subversive program of the KKE. With the people owning the wealth they produce, with the keys to development and the economy in their own hands, in a society freed from the commitments of the EU and NATO”, emphasizes D. Koutsoubas, concluding his interview.
