A joint appeal from European Communist and Workers' Parties for the upcoming EP elections.
ICP, 30 January 2019
- Essential raises in salaries and pensions.
- Public and free of charge Health-Care, Education.
- The support of the struggle of the workers and of the unemployed for full-time and stable jobs.
- Democratic rights in the workplaces, working- and social-rights, social-security.
- The rights of the immigrant workers and the struggle against the causes that force the peoples to abandon their countries.
- Support of the small and medium-sized farmers.
- The essential protection of the environment that is sacrificed for the profits of the big capital.
- To multiply their struggles against the European Union, against this union of capital, that hurts the peoples’ rights.
- To strengthen their resistance to the capital’s attack, to the attacks of the parties that serve the capital’s interests, to strengthen their struggle for every popular problem.
- To support with any suitable way the Communist and Workers’ Parties that condemn the EU in the battle of the European Elections, in May 2019, to weaken the parties that support the EU and its politics, that defend the “EU’s one-way road” of the capital and the supposed “democratization” of the EU
- Underscore that the capital’s offensive is unitary and has to do with all the member-states of the EU, as well as with the rest of the states that are situated in the European continent and on these grounds it is necessary to strengthen the common struggle of the CP’s and of the peoples, to develop solidarity with the struggle of the workers across the whole Europe and worldwide.
- Stress that there is another way of development for the peoples. The alternative of a different Europe emerges out of the workers’ struggle; a Europe of the prosperity of the peoples, of social progress, of democratic rights, of equal cooperation, of peace, of socialism.
- Believe in the right of each people to sovereignly choose its way of development, including the right to disengage itself from the EU, NATO and every other imperialist organization; to struggle for the socialist path of development.
The declaration ends as follows:
We call on the peoples to weaken the forces that support the EU, in any way, and cultivate illusions that the EU can be fixed.
-NO to the EU of the monopolies, of capital and wars!
-Onward for a Europe of the prosperity of the peoples, of peace, social justice and democratic rights, of socialism!
