PRESS STATEMENT
While new mass demonstrations are taking place in the USA against
Bush’s decision to intensify the war and occupation of Iraq through
dispatching of a new contingent of 22.000 US soldiers,
While the bloodshed gets worse in all the countries “liberated” by the
USA, as well as in other countries that are in the sight of Bush
regime, from Iraq and Af-ghanistan to Somalia,
While the US and EU imperialists are increasing the pressure on the
Greek bourgeoisie in order to oblige her to accept the sell-out of
Cyprus and the Ae-gean Sea, and continuously instigate minorities’ issues,
an effort starts to exploit today’s blast at the US Embassy in Athens
in order to advance the fascistization, to “outlaw” the legitimate
anti-US sentiments of the Greek people and to serve the aims of the so
called “war on terror”, which pro-vokes a continuous carnage in many
countries and violates any notion of jus-tice, fundamental rights and
international law.
On this occasion, the Communist Organization of Greece (KOE) repeats
the le-gitimate demands, the only ones that serve the interests of our
people:
All US military bases on Greek soil, and especially the Souda Bay
base, which is used by the USA to aggress the peoples of our region,
must immediately close.
We do not need the wasps’ nest of USA in Athens, which is a den of
espionage and intrigues.
Solidarity with the Resistance in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and the
whole world against the Nr 1 global terrorist, the USA.
Solidarity with the mobilizations of millions all over the world,
including the USA, asking for the end of bloodshed and the immediate
withdrawal of all occupation forces.
Athens, 12 January 2007
