"Mr President, the present situation in Iraq and all that has preceded over the last 12 years are not only the result of the world-domination policy of the USA and its closest allies. A great deal of responsibility and complicity also lies with the EU which, despite many proclamations by its members about respect for international law, has legalised the above crimes and is continuing, as today has made clear, to legalise the barbaric occupation of Iraq, hoping to secure a share of the spoils.
For the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece, this unacceptable situation goes against the feelings of our peoples, as expressed – including in the European Union – in the past and present mass demonstrations. It will only change with the immediate withdrawal of the occupying armies, so that the Iraqi people can take their fate in their own hands, and on payment by the invaders of the compensation needed in order to reconstruct Iraq. This should have been the stand of the ΕU if it wanted to respect international law instead of helping to flout it. Everything else is a ‘pretext for evil’.
Any attempt to continue to use the UN to get the USA ‘out of a fix’ and to continue the occupation is bound to fail. It is certain that the resistance of the Iraqi people against the conquerors, under any guise, will continue with increasing international solidarity."@en1
