  • [01] KKE leader speaks to ANA-MPA

    Communist Party of Greece (KKE) leader Aleka Papariga reiterated on Friday that "negative developments (in the region) will not be prevented even if Greece vetoes FYROM's NATO accession", speaking during an interview in Athens to the ANA-MPA.

    "A double name does not lead to a solution; it cannot work, but will merely regurgitate the problem. The US and EU know this, that's why, in fact, they are proposing it," she opined.

    Moreover, the communist leader called the unilateral recognition of Kosovo a "dangerous development", while pointing to a necessity for changes in Athens' foreign policy.

    "Our position on the 'name issue', to the degree that a commonly acceptable solution includes the term 'Macedonia' or a composite of that word, is that this should have an exclusively geographic definition, not an ethnic one ... The basic problem with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) today, one over which the other (Greek) parties remain silent, is that it is a state controlled by the US and EU..." she said.

    Turning away from foreign policy issues, Papariga dismissed an idea by the Coalition of the Left (Synaspismos) for the establishment of a "grand radical left coalition", saying the proposal would serve only as a centre-left disguise for the country's political system, one merely useful for "plutocracy, but dangerous for other popular forces".
