KKE on the investigating committee and the memoranda

KKE on the investigating committee and the memoranda

The coalition government of SYRIZA and Independent Greeks (ANEL) “with the proposal on an investigating committee for the memoranda, is seeking an alibi for the fact that it did not annul the memoranda and their implementating laws but has instead implemented and expanded them,” the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) party said in a statement on Wednesday.

It added that the government is deliberately “concealing the true reasons that led to the memoranda and the anti-popular measures, just because it is also moving along this path.”

KKE noted that the proposal to set up an investigating committee “is trying to hide the fact that the memoranda were not the cause but the result of the capitalist economic crisis, which is still ongoing, and to clear the EU policy and the demands of the capital, that were implemented in Greece through the memoranda in a violent and fast way.”

“The memoranda were the choice of the ruling class in Greece so that the crisis burdens the workers,” the party noted.

“In this respect, all Greek governments, not just those during the 2009-2014 period, have undoubted political responsibilities; this does not rule out other kind of responsibilities, which can be looked into,” it said.

“KKE will participate in the investigating committee so as to reveal the truth to the Greek people and the people themselves can make up their own final “investigating committee” against the EU, the capital and all the governments that have served them,” it concluded.
