THE Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece Dimitris Koutsoumbasin his speech in Parliament on the Greece-US Agreement, said that today is the day of voting for an Agreement “in the name of defense only but in fact very, very aggressive”, will be mentioned as a negative milestone for everything that will follow next years”.
He noted that with the exception of the KKE, all other parties either conceal or obscure the true content of the Agreement.
He described the agreement as “historically dangerous for the people and historically damaging to the sovereign rights of the country. which was inaugurated by the SYRIZA government and culminates in today’s agreement-abortion that the prime minister is preparing to present as a gift in view of his meeting with US President Biden “.
He said that with her Agreement US military bases in Greece are expanded and consolidated and “almost the entire Greek territory is transformed into a vast military base through which military missions are carried out, military forces are sent to Eastern Europe, large-scale exercises are carried out on a large scale, with of all kinds “while” even the possibility of hosting nuclear weapons is provided “.
“These are infrastructures that are already playing and will play in the future an even more active role in the war conflicts that today focus on Ukraine, tomorrow may be further generalizedHe said.
He said the agreement still contained “greater US control over the country’s military and political infrastructure” and that “virtually the whole country is becoming a base and bridgehead for NATO, US, EU offensive plans and all that. “At a time when the Russian conflict in Ukraine is escalating and the risk of war escalating is more than real.”
“You are dragging the people and the country into a massacre of unforeseen proportions to support only the Euro-Atlantic camp of robbers, a camp that has the same responsibilities as capitalist Russia for the drama that the people of Ukraine are living today and that with the wars and surgeries has bloodied other peoples in recent years “ reported.
Addressing the government, D. Koutsoubas again asked the questions: “Are the Greek armed forces and units preparing to take part in NATO missions in Eastern Europe? Are you preparing or not to send other military equipment to Ukraine, such as missiles and armor, according to reports? “Do you know, yes or no, that in the context of Russian exercises, there are plans with blows to NATO bases in Greece, including the port of Alexandroupolis?”
“Even simulation video games now exist in the West, where Russia’s targets include Alexandroupoli, Larissa and Souda,” he said, adding that the government was justifying these choices by using the “weak argument that they’s the right side of the story.” because the assistance to the “defender” -you say- “will work positively for the country, if at some point it finds itself in a similar position”.
“There is nothing more false, nothing more pretentious, nothing more unhistorical and nothing more ridiculous than this claim,” he said, noting that “the assistance that Greek governments have been giving to the US, NATO and the EU for years to carry out wars and interventions against countries and peoples “is not assistance to a” defender “, but to an attacker.
He noted that the argument that “in this way the country is shielded against Turkish aggression and Turkish revisionism” is “historically completely bankrupt” and referred to specific events, at least in the last 30 years, of escalating Turkish aggression.
As he explained, “what NATO, particularly the US, is interested in is ensuring cohesion in NATO’s SE wing, which goes through the role of Turkey, which is promoted through exchanges and bargains that pave the way for co-operation solutions, which but it will prepare the cycle of new conflicts and problems and will not pave the way for a proper solution of the problem “.
He blamed the government “for a conscious political choice to drag the people and the country – even more – to the murderous Euro-NATO chariot, because this is imposed by the interests of the Greek ruling class, for businesses, markets and new untold profits “.
“The winners of the war are parts of capital on both sides. Lost are the peoples themselves who pay with their blood, with their lives, with their sweat, the cost of war, among them the Greek people, who in addition risk paying even more expensively the strategy of involvement in war plans and the current agreements you bring to Parliament. “That is why the KKE will receive a huge ‘No’ to the Greek-American agreement,” he underlined.
He made it clear that the “No” of the KKE is “without asterisks, footnotes and” yes but … “, and accused SYRIZA that now it is mainly trying to hide from the Greek people, that this agreement has its own seal, he prepared it “.
He added that SYRIZA agrees with the government on the main and strategic issues, trying to draw the people’s attention to secondary and almost non-existent issues, such as the exchange, while “there has never been a case of such aggressive agreements in exchange for the people ».
“The patriotic for the Greek people and at the same time international for all the peoples of the world and especially of the” No “region of the KKE, has in the society and the people, in the youth, a much greater impact than the electoral influence of our party” he said, adding that the Euro-Atlantic narrative of the other parties that turns the country into “a cheap shooting range practiced by cursing foreign soldiers” is not convincing, “it does not pass to the people”.
“Anyone who really wants to be on the right side of history, on the side of our working people and not on the side of its exploiters, their imperialist alliances, their governments, is now taking his place in the struggle that is unfolding throughout Greece with KKE ahead, against the participation of our country in unjust wars.
Today, as the imperialist war escalates and the danger of its escalation increases, even with the use of the most advanced and destructive weapons, it is a matter of “life and death” to form and strengthen a popular front:
– To abolish these shameful Aggressive Agreements.
– To close now all NATO and US military bases in our country, which are used as bases for war.
“To stop using the military infrastructure of our country for NATO and other exercises that are real” war rehearsals “, he stressed.
The banner of the KKE this morning on the Acropolis, “no to war, no to participation, no to the bases”, illuminated and honored the militancy and pride of the Greek people.
Like tonight’s rally in Propylaia and here outside Parliament, the Committee against the Greek-American Agreement and dozens of unions, peace committees, mass organizations, all send the hopeful message as reflected in the poetry of G. Ritsos, who made it a song Mikis Theodorakis:
“Small people and fight without swords and bullets,
for the whole world bread, light and song “” concluded in his speech the secretary general of the KKE Central Committee.
