from KKE ml to PCm Italy invitation to “Anti-imperialist Antiwar Meeting, 2019”

Dear comrades,

On occasion of the 20 years since the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, that shed the blood of its peoples and considerably moved forward the American-NATO domination in the Balkan Peninsula, we would like to invite you to a two-day anti-imperialist antiwar meeting, which will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece, on 13-14 of April 2019.

The “Anti-imperialist Antiwar Meeting, 2019” is an initiative of our organization, CPG (m-l), in a period when the Americans expand their murderous bases in the Balkans using NATO as their vehicle, they move forward their deals in order to drive out any Russian influence (Prespes Deal, tripartite deals, etc.), they attempt to stop the Chinese infiltration as well as the limiting of the European ambitions. But they also bring again on the table the Kosovo matter and the “exchange of territories”, risking the setting of new fires to the whole peninsula. At the same time Russian imperialism is striving to keep its channels of intervention in the Balkans, an area of crucial geopolitical conflict, using its relationships with Serbia, to accomplish its plans against the peoples. In addition to all this is the infiltration of the EU that tries to bind economically and politically the states in the area and force them into an EU-dependency, moving forward their own interests while the US uses them as a means of pressure on Serbia.

Twenty years later the Balkans still consist one of the most crucial areas of a brutal American-Russian conflict. Twenty years later the Balkans are deep into suspicion and bigotry among its nation, while their peoples are crushed under a policy of poverty, misery and unemployment. This dangerous background is the breeding ground of nationalism and chauvinism, that poison the peoples' consciousness and serve the “divide and conquer” policy against this bleeding peninsula. The constitution of an anti-imperialist antiwar antinationalist movement of the Balkan peoples is of utmost urgency. We ought to contribute to this contribution with all our strength.

Using this as our political background, this two-day meeting on 13-14 of April will also include a public event, open to the people (Saturday the 13th of April). We would like you to inform us whether you would answer positively to this invitation, so that we could communicate again with more details. For any further clarifications, you can e-mail us to this address and we will be glad to respond as soon as possible.

We wait for your response,

Revolutionary greetings from Greece,
