"The EU is the flag-bearer of anti-communism and history's distortion" — Greek Communist Party MEPs
In a statement published in Rizospastis, the Communist Party of Greece group in the European Parliament denounces another anti-communist event organized at the EU Parliament's Plenary for the Berlin Wall fall anniversary, with the major speaker being the President of the German Parliament (Bundestag) Wolfgang Schäuble.
The statement reads: "The anti-communist fiesta organized for the Berlin Wall fall, with a speech by Schauble at the Plenary of the EU Parliament in Brussels, confirms the role of the EU as a "standard-bearer" of anti-communist and history's distortion. Once again, the imperialists distort history and the truth. The Wall was the result of the intervention and aggression of the imperialists, of the continuous subversion against the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
Behind the slogans for "freedom and democracy" they hide that the only ones who were actually "liberated" after the counterrevolutionary events of 1989-91 were the capitalists and their business groups which have gone wild to this day, imposing the slavery of capitalist exploitation, the jungle of elastic labour relations, a life without rights".
The statement continues:
"The EU and her governments, the supposedly being "defenders of freedom", cut off the right to strike, to demonstrate, seeking to impose "dead silence" in labour places under the boot of employer terrorism. They ban Communist Parties and their symbols. They talk about the methods of spying in the GDR while they themselves promote the mass electronic profiling, the generalized, even preemptive eavesdropping of everyone.
Their bourgeois democracy operates in favour of the minority of exploiters; it constitutes a dictatorship of capital.
