lpv:translated text	". The members of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the report on the accession of Turkey to the ΕU because we believe that it will not benefit the workers and the people of Turkey in general; it will only benefit the Turkish plutocracy and the EU. Many believe that the accession of Turkey will contribute towards its democratisation. That belief led to customs union, to its being proclaimed a candidate country, but not to democratisation. The repression of its people continued, with the gaols full of political detainees in inhumane conditions. Arrests, torture and murder continue. The muzzling of political opposition extends to banning parties such as the Turkish Communist Party and HADEP. DEHAP is about to be banned. The army continues to play a sovereign role and there is the daily threat of a coup d'état. Its militia continue to occupy 37% of Cyprus. The rapporteur does indeed recognise much of the above, but he welcomes the government for its good intentions and proposes speeding up the financing of Turkey with EU taxpayers' money, which will most probably be used to reinforce the repressive mechanisms. We condemn the hypocritical policy of the ΕU, which is based above all on serving big interests and we stand by those fighting, under harsh conditions, for democracy, peace and social progress in Turkey, certain that radical change will come as their fight develops."@en1
