Resolution of the Communist Youth against the new anti-communist escalation of the European Union

We, the Communist Youth Organizations that are in Athens, in order to participate in the 45th KNE-Odigitis Festival, condemn the repugnant anti-communist common resolution of the European Parliament, which is being signed by the political groups of the People’s Party, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, the Greens and the European Conservatives and Reformists.

The common resolution of the European Parliament is unacceptable and unhistorical, since:

• It promotes the legalization of the prohibition of the Communist Parties and the communist symbols that has already been imposed in several member-states of the EU.

• It promotes the generalization of the criminalization and prosecutions of communists and their ideology, aiming at halting the popular struggles.

• It promotes the identification of communism with fascism, acquitting that way the fascists and their action.

• It even distorts History in such level characterizing the Soviet Union and Red Army, which had more than 20 million casualties in the struggle to crush Nazism, “as an ally and collaborator of the Nazi Germany”.

We, the Communist Youth Organizations signing this statement say clearly that:

• The future cannot be banned! The future of the youth is Socialism!
• No matter how many resolutions and decisions the European Union passes, we are determined to bring their nightmares to life.
• Anti-communism and the falsification of History will not pass! The historical truth will crush their lies and provocations.
