On
Saturday 20th May the PCPE (Partido Comunista de los
Pueblos de Espana) organised in Madrid an internationalist
anti-imperialist political event under the title “No water, no
soil, no air to the imperialists”. The major speaker was the
Secretary General of the CC of PCPE Astor Garcia, while a greeting
message was also delivered by Marina Gómez, Sec. General of the
Collectives of Young Communists.
Representatives
of the Communist Parties of Italy (Partito Comunista) and Turkey
(TKP) attended the event while the Secretary General of the Communist
Party of Mexico Pavel Cabrera sent a recorded greeting message. The
KKE was represented by the member of the Political Bureau of the CC
Giorgos Marinos and Lefteris Nikolaou.
In
his speech, Giorgos Marinos reiterated the KKE's solidarity and
fraternal relations with the PCPE under the leadership of Astor
Garcia. More specifically he said:
“Our
Party corresponds with responsibility to your invitation and with its
participation stresses that the KKE continues the close,
internationalist relations with the Communist Party of the Peoples of
Spain that we knew and fought together all these years, the PCPE with
its new leadership, the General Secretary and comrade Astor Garcia,
while as it is known, the Communist Youth of Greece continues to have
fraternal relations with the Collectives of Youth Communists and the
General Secretary of the CC comrade Marina Gómez.
The
KKE, steadily, based on principles, corresponded many times to the
invitations and visited Spain, developed common actions with your
Party Organisations and the events of the Collectives, participated
in activities within the labor movement, in labor places (and) helped
in electoral battles".
Giorgos Marinos referred also to the slanderous attack against the KKE by the Carmelo Suarez-Julio Diaz group, which emerged after the split in the PCPE. More specifically, the KKE Politburo member said among other things: "The facts themselves prove that the slanderous attacks organised by the Carmelo Suarez-Julio Diaz group against the KKE and the CP of Mexico, which struggle alongside PCPE for many years, have no trace of truth, they are intentional attacks that show this group's mutation".
Furthermore, cde. Marinos stressed the danger that positions which promote the so-called ideologies of "21st century Socialism" or "Market Socialism" pose for the international communist movement. He pointed out that "We fight against the difficulties from a position of principles, based on the communist ideology and politics, with a line of rupture and overthrow and not with incorporation in the system and search for managment choices".
In his intervention, Giorgos Marinos also talked about the need for struggle against imperialist wars, for the disengagement of the countries from the imperialist alliances with the people in power.
