".
The MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the resolution, not of course because we are against aid to Iran, but because the text combines it in an undisguised and vulgar manner with political coercion.
The imperialists of the ΕU hold nothing sacred; they have no compassion in the face of human suffering and misfortune. However well we know this, we cannot but get angry when we read texts like today’s, especially when signed by all the political groups.
In return for the EUR 2.3 million which the ΕU is giving (crumbs compared with the 31.3 million dollars needed for the first three months), it is asking for everything from Iran: implementation of the additional protocol to the NPT, a dialogue on respect for human rights, faster reforms etc. We refer all those deluding themselves about the humane face of the ΕU to point 12 of the resolution, which states that 'the solidarity shown by the international community is also an expression of support for those in Iran who are committed to keeping the country on the path towards further democratisation'. Nor does the resolution fail to advertise the 'generosity' of the American President.
We are the last to support the Iranian regime. However, solidarity should be in the direction which the people of Iran want and not in the direction the imperialists want.
