Une discussion dans le dos des peuples

Le texte discuté par le Conseil européen a été tenu secret et a été élaboré dans le dos des citoyens et des parlementaires par des « sherpas » travaillant dans l’ombre.

Le retour à une méthode intergouvernementale antidémocratique et inefficace

Le projet de texte que discute le Conseil européen n’est pas du tout le traité simplifié qui nous est annoncé. C’est en fait un mandat donné à une Conférence Intergouvernementale pour rédiger un nouveau traité.

Resolution on the US threats against Iran

Peace

The Participants of the Euro-Mediterranean meeting of Left Parties, meeting in Nicosia, Cyprus on 17th-18th March 2007, express their grave concern over the heightening tensions in the Persian Gulf region emanating from the US militaristic and hegemonic stance in its conflict with Iran.

The US led pressures against Iran on the question of that country’s expressed wish to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, is only a cover for the US attempts to secure US control over an area of the Middle East that is best situated to control the production and export of energy resources from this part of the world.

We also express our concern over the provocative and unacceptable statements from the Iranian president. These statements have provided the US and its allies, in particular the Israeli government, with the excuse to continue their provocations against Iran. The Iranian regime is exploiting the current situation to extend its suppression of progressive forces, trade unions, youth and student movements as well as women’s movements. Read more »

Common appeal of Communist and Progressist Parties of Europe on the foundation of the European Economic Community (EEC)

Communist and Workers’ Parties

The Rome Treaty for the foundation of the EEC was an option of the main powers and West European monopolist capital. Today, 50 years later, the developments in the EU vindicate the forces that struggled against its policies, that had said and still say NO to the Maastricht Treaty, that voice their opposition to the “Constitutional Treaty”. They vindicate all those who today continue to fight against the European Union of big capital a directorate of the big, neo-liberal and militaristic powers.

The goals trumpeted by the EU’s dominant forces, the social democrat, conservative and various right wing forces namely, the convergence of national economies, employment and improvement of the workers’ conditions, more democracy, peace and cooperation on an equal footing - have proved false. The EU mission is to strengthen the European-based transnational capital and big business in the main European powers, by taking away rights and gains of the workers, expanding its economic power and influence upon policies at the European and State levels, and exploiting new markets and natural resources. This course leads to an increase in social inequality and regional asymmetries, the spreading of poverty and marginalization. Read more »
