Dimitris Koutsoumpas calls for labor mobilization in Greece

Dimitris Koutsoumpas, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), has called for organized labor and youth mobilization in Greece, drawing parallels to recent protests in France, Spain, Belgium, and Italy.

Speaking at a presentation for the sketches of the artist ‘Aeropezonautis’, Koutsoumpas criticized European Union policies and domestic political parties, including New Democracy and PASOK. He argued that current political directions favor capital and military preparation, which he claims causes social suffocation. He asserted that the KKE should lead the movement to address the underlying causes of social unrest.
