KKE airs opposition to constitutional treaty

[Ellinas]

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) again aired its categorical rejection of any future European Constitutional Treaty, while criticising the other political parties for their stance, according to KKE General Secretary Aleka Papariga, who gave a press conference in view of an informal EU Summit meeting on October 18.

Papariga commented that the two major parties, ruling New Democracy and main opposition PASOK, are in favor of the treaty and support the "anti-popular view" that its adoption will safeguard the unity of Europe.

Referring to the Coalition of the Radical Left, SYRIZA, she said it exercises sharp but superficial criticism on the treaty.

KKE rejects the new treaty because it adopts the American imperialism strategy on preemptive war, backs the further militarization of the EU, relinquishes more sovereign rights of EU member states to EU bodies, abolishes the veto power and establishes a special majority benefiting the stronger states while hurting the national independence of the EU states.

Papariga also stated that the new treaty guarantees the superiority of the EU law over state legislation adding that her party rejects any form of European Constitution and is in favor of a referendum on the issue.

I would have to agree with the commie's on this issue even though I do not like them.
