CPG (m-l) statement on anti-missile shield

CPG (m-l) statement

Criminal Bush: persona non grata!
Oust the USA from the Balkans!
No to the pro-war anti-missile shield!

The global criminal Bush’ tour in the Balkans after his visit to Poland and Czekia, these days, is part of a clearly war move and it forebodes new sufferings for the peoples of the Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Bush is coming to declare the official re-mapping out of the Balkan borders through the secession plan of Kosovo; to support the US-subordinated forces in Albania, FYROM and Bulgaria; to launch a new period of strong US intervention in the Balkan affairs and to incite the local chauvinisms. The intervening US policy in the Balkans, the establishment of military bases and the plans for Balkan countries to join NATO, are part of their aspiration for the consolidation of the US hegemony in Europe; the control of the energy roads and in the plans for a cold and in case it would be necessary fir a hot period of confrontation with the Russian influence and policy.
This dangerous policy for the peace and the common future of the Balkan peoples is part of Washington’s broader aggressive projects which recently have escalated with the decision to locate missiles and radar systems in Poland and Czekia using the ridiculous pretext of facing the dangers of the North Korea’s and Iran’s … missile projects. In fact this decision aims to Russia and the peace in Europe.
The Greek government has undertaken serious responsibilities with the political alignment with the pro-war US plans because it exposes our country and people to grave danger. It consents with the dangerous policy of re-mapping out the Balkan borders, it submits to the plans for NATO expansion in the Balkans and it is ready to succumb to the US extortions for the so called anti-missile shield.
CPG (m-l) calls all the anti-imperialist and pro-peace popular forces to stay in militant alert and mobilization to foil the way to the new pro-war US plans. To strengthen the struggle against the presence of the US military bases in the country and against its participation in NATO and imperialist wars. It calls for the formation of a common anti-war, anti-imperialist front pf the Balkan peoples against this intervening policy. It points out the necessity for the peoples of Europe to rise against the plans for location of the anti-missile shield and to organize an independent, militant and mass movement against the European governments and the EU which actually follow the same pro-war and imperialist policy.
