The Communist Party of Greece KKE, the Communist Party of Italy CPI, the Communist Party of Malta PKM, and the Communist Party of the People of Spain PCPE wish to stress the following
regarding the unspeakable tragedy unfolding in our countries’ seas in relation
to the refugees and immigrants:
The ongoing tragedy has a “name”: it is the political line
of the EU and other countries, like the USA, that is responsible for the wars
in the Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa. This tragedy is rooted
in the capitalist system itself, on this terrain we have the manifestation of
poverty, the class exploitation and oppression of the working class and peoples
by reactionary regimes, the sharpening of the imperialist contradictions, which
cause the imperialist wars and interventions.The imperialist interventions
and wars developed in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Mali and other countries of the
Middle East and Africa have a deep impact in the people of those countries who
are forced to risk their lives by displacing themselves to other areas. .
The problem of the waves of immigration cannot be solved
without dealing with the causes that create them. The “fences”, Frontex, and
the other repressive measures merely increase the number of the dead and the
slave traders’ prices.
The governments of the so-called European “South”, “right”
and “left”, bear enormous responsibilities because they participate in this
crime, they participate in the imperialist plans of NATO and the EU.
We are struggling for relief measures, so that the
governments immediately ensure humane temporary reception centres for the
refugees as well as the provision of travel documents so that these people can
reach the countries that are their real destinations. We must defy the Dublin
Regulations and the Schengen Treaty.
In addition, we stress that this issue cannot be dealt with
in separation from its causes. Our peoples’ struggle against the imperialist
interventions of the EU and NATO, against the rotten capitalist system itself
must be strengthened.
