The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) can provide a response to "the real, the substantive dilemma that is: submission or emancipation of our people from the policy of the European Union, of the monopolies," Secretary General Dimitris Koutsoumbas said on Thursday at Athens' Pedion tou Areos park during the party's main rally on the municipal and regional elections.

Communist Party secretary general Dimitris Koutsoumbas went today and paid homage at the rifle range of Kaisariani, where seventy years ago Nazi occupiers executed 200 Greek prisoners.

KKE deputy Liana Kanelli spoke about a "necessary" renewal of the leadership of the Communist Party on public television, while challenging the controversial position of the party on layoffs at party newspaper Rizospastis.
