lpv:translated text	"The Communist Party of Greece is opposed to the introduction of a European constitution because it will strengthen the imperialist ΕU at the expense of the peoples and for the benefit of the exploiters. In addition, the text of the Convention, which was set up and operated utterly anti-democratically by muzzling every voice on the left, does not crystallise the democratic rights won by the people. On the contrary, it diminishes them. The declaration of faith in an exceptionally competitive social (!) market economy also sets capitalism on a constitutional basis. The abolition of the revolving presidency, the composition of the Commission, the cutback in unanimous decision-making and the definition of the qualified majority show that this is about redistributing power for the benefit of the strong and handing over more national sovereignty to the imperialist, Euro-unifying centre. Militarisation is being dangerously deepened within the framework of the common defence policy which, of course, respects the obligations which derive from the North Atlantic Treaty. Terrorism is being used as a pretext for creating preconditions for new military interventions against the peoples of the whole world (without forgetting the 'enemy within') and a special role is being reserved for Member States with high military capabilities. It is no coincidence that the only minister is for foreign affairs. We are convinced that the peoples will not be deceived. Opposition to capitalism is growing, both inside and outside the ΕU. The grass-roots fight will strengthen as the anti-grass roots policy intensifies and will pull down the edifice being so carefully erected."@en1
