Former U.S President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt on Saturday 13 July 2024 at a Pennsylvania rally, days before he was to accept the Republican nomination for a third time. A barrage of gunfire set off panic, and a bloodied Trump, who was shot in the ear, was surrounded by Secret Service and hurried to his SUV as he pumped his fist in a show of defiance.
In a comment issued on Monday, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses out the following:
"When the aggravation of contradictions in today's capitalist world
reaches the point of taking on such characteristics, as with the
assassination attempt against the former President of the USA, Donald
Trump, it is certain that new troubles are in store for the peoples.
They are the ones who will be asked to 'foot the bill' of the fierce
competition, which is why it is necessary to strengthen the vigilance
and the popular struggle".
