Communist Party of Greece: A Political Party-Business for a Political Party-State in a totalitarian regime

Liberal Alliance press release 17 July 08

Liberal Alliance (Greek Liberals) states, in the most emphatic terms, that the business activity of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE from its Greek Acronym), raises new issues for the way democratic institutions function in Greece.

According to KKE itself, this political party is involved in business activities, beyond its political functions. This is stated at article 45 of its Charter.
KKE has rejected any calls for openness and transparency of its business activities, and as Mrs Papariga, Secretary General of the KKE , only the 'the proletariat's worker's movement' can check on the profits of these business activities and the way the profits are spend.

Liberal Alliance considers business activities by political parties, inconsistent with their political role and raises questions about the way KKE's MPs legislate at Parliament, particularly in case where they called to approve or reject laws that may affect the profitability of its business.

For Liberal Alliance, KKE's business activities, in conjunction with their secrecy ('Typoekdotiki' the printing company being the only known one), are as scandalous as the bribing of senior officials of New Democrasy and PASOK, by Siemens.

KKE's scandal reveals that the parliamentary parties, act for their own benefit, helping friendly businesses like Siemens or companies run by Party Officials as in the case of the telecommunication company 'Germanos', instead of legislating (and when in power to govern) with only the public interest in mind.

KKE's reaction with threats and insults against anyone that questions its finances cannot distract from its repulsive reality.

Liberal Alliance, does not recognize any alibi at KKE, and does not hesitate to place it along with the Far Right and Nationalist circles to the forces of the 'grey-red' front, that aims to the abolition of Democracy in Greece and the imposition of a totalitarian regime, where the Party will control the Government, the economy and the life of its citizens. In this context, the support to KKE by former members the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE), currently, leaders of SYRIZA (Coalition of Radical Left), proves that SURIZA have not denounced completely the totalitarian ideological roots.

For Liberal Alliance it is obvious that the current political establishment from Left to Right, protects those that stand against progress and prosperity of the Greek Citizens. Liberal Alliance will be at the side of everyone, businesses, and employers, that will decide to right politically for the reversal of the current malign situation.
