All solidarity with the Communist Party of Greece

The Brazilian Communist Party expresses its unrestricted solidarity with the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and repudiates the aggressions suffered by its militants who demonstrated in the streets in celebration of the 47th anniversary of the uprising of students and workers in Athens, against the military junta that then ruled the country. The police used gas bombs and attacked the demonstrators with batons and water jets. Many peolple got injured and there were dozens of arrests.

The anti-imperialist demonstration was banned by the government, which claimed to be taking “precautions against the Covid-19 pandemic”. The real reasons for the repression were the need for the government to hide its responsibility for the bankruptcy of the public health system, while continuing to adopt measures against workers, and to prevent the denunciation of imperialism.

Greek comrades, count on the support of the PCB!

Long live proletarian internationalism!

Long live Socialism!

Long live KKE!
