"Mr President, I should like to express my disgust and anger at the despicable anti-communist resolution adopted by the recent 16th conference of the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, which likens the barbaric, monstrous Nazi-fascism to communism and calls for a new witch-hunt to begin of the members and cadres of the communist parties who remain faithful to their high ideals.
The Group of the European People's Party abuses and insults the memory of the millions of communists who gave their very lives to deliver mankind from the Nazi monster. At the same time, it shows that it supports, or even dictates the primitive anti-communism and blatant violations of human rights which prevail in the former socialist candidate countries. It revives a spirit of vindictiveness which only presages hardships for our peoples. We do not forget that the persecution of communists has always been followed by the persecution of every progressive perception. The peoples do not forget that Hitler also started persecutions with the communists.
With this disgraceful and extremely dangerous resolution, the Group of the European People's Party really is seeking to stop the workers' fight against reactionary, anti-grass roots policies. They want to strike the pioneers of this fight, the communists who remain faithful to their ideals, because the followers are their friends and protégées."@en1
