Announcement of Perissos on the occasion of the 58th anniversary of the April 21 coup
The KKE in a statement “For the” Black “Anniversary of the Dictatorship of April 21, 1967” states, among other things, that “the protagonists of the dictatorship of the colonels were persons who served the mechanisms of the bourgeois state, the army and the CYP, the 195, were voted on by all bourgeoisie. Arsenal. “
“The colonels integrated into this capitalist building had developed multifaceted ties with the palace, domestic capitalists, publishers, politicians, diplomats and representatives of foreign capitalist states and secret services, especially those US.” The announcement then points out that “the dictatorship of April 21 was the result of unresolved intra -resolution contradictions and competitions in the functioning of the bourgeois political system, as it had been formed during the struggle and after the defeat of the TSE, the next decade”, stressing that “the intra -struggling contradictions were complicated by the rivalry. They shaped their own distinct imperialist center (EEC) and Southeast Europe was a field of world confrontation of capitalism-socialism, as well as conflict of rival capitalist interests. “
“The dictatorship of the Colonels has been in its general direction on the internal and external policy of post -war bourgeois governments,” the statement added, noting that the foreign policy of the dictatorship “served the interests of the US, NATO and European capitalist states, and the European capitalist states.”
“The dictatorship of April 21st continued and intensified the legislative measures against the KKE, imposed mass persecution, disrupted trade unions and other mass organizations and proceeded with imprisonment and exile, torture and murder. Although taking some repressive measures and at the expense of the functioning of the bourgeois parties, it maintained channels of communication and consultation with them, having a look at the future restoration of the bourgeois parliamentary democracy, “the statement said and stresses:
“The coup of April 21 is proof that capitalist power does not hesitate to alternate its political forms, from bourgeois parliamentary democracy to political or military dictatorship, and vice versa, always in the light of the capitalist interests, to remain the capitalist interests. “From the first moment, against the plans of the bourgeois military dictatorship, the Communists and other radical militants stood, paying a heavy price for their struggle in favor of labor -popular interests.”
“Despite the conditions of long and deep illegality, the KKE was able to separate from the opportunist forces inside the 12th Plenary (1968), to fight for the formation of illegal party organizations, to establish the KNE, to pioneer in the first day. He proclaimed the need to overthrow the dictatorship by mass labor-populic action and in all forms of struggle. It had a special contribution to the development of the labor -popular struggles, from the first mobilizations with trade unions to the student occupation of Law and the Youth and Labor – Popular uprising of the Technical University (November 1973). Against bourgeois and opportunist political forces, it rejected the so -called “liberalization” Marquezine, that is, the political mask of dictatorship, “the party’s statement notes, adding:
“The fall of the dictatorship in July 1974 was the result of its” crimes “, in particular Cyprus, exhaustion of its role and because of the struggle against her by the Technical University. The process of passing on the so -called “Transition” was a product of compromise between representatives of the dictatorship, domestic bourgeois political forces and their NATO and EEC allies. Following the restoration of the bourgeois parliamentary democracy, the capitalist state, with any government, continued to serve the profitability of business groups, suppress labor-populations, participate in transnational capitalist alliances and engage in imperialist competitions.
“And today the character of the state remains the same, capitalist and anti -populist,” the KKE stresses, stating, inter alia, that “in the same context and with the agreement often of all bourgeois parties, its involvement in intra -imperialist competitions, as it is at this time with the war in the war in people. At the same time, the intravenous bazaars in the Aegean and in the wider area of the southeastern Mediterranean are escalating, which are dangerous to the Greek people and the other peoples of the region. “
“The capitalist state and its international allies leading the anti-communist attack, highlights the unmistakable ideology of fascism-communism and the revision of World War II history and every struggle of the labor-labor movement,” notes the KKE and the KKE. Today’s anti-populist reality is the construction of the social alliance of the working class, the biomass of farmers, the self-employed, the increasingly massive and decisive strike and the workers’ struggles, the student and student mobilizations, the diversity.
The Coalition with the KKE is a guarantee of the necessary labor-backed counterattack against any version of anti-populist government. Each step of strengthening the party is a step of strengthening the labor-labor action, the only one capable of halting the plans of the class of capitalists, state and international allies, in order to unleash the country from imperialist plans, to open the way for the new organization.
