".
The unanimous nomination of the conservative prime minister of Portugal, Mr Barroso, both by the conservative and the 'socialist' leaders of the Member States of the European Union, for the office of President of the European Commission, did not come out of nowhere, nor did it surprise the Communist Party of Greece.
It marks:
reconciliation between the EU and the US, the closure of any differences which they had about the spoils from the intervention in Iraq, the restoration in the eyes of the people of the dirty imperialist war and more intensive participation of the part of the EU in the plans and interventions required by the 'new order';
the speedier application of the anti-grass roots measures ordered by the unifying monopolies (sweeping privatisations, the destruction of any remaining pay, pension, health, education, welfare, employment rights and so on); and
the imposition on the peoples of the ΕU of the misleadingly named European Constitution, which will also safeguard the militaristic, autocratic and anti-labour character of the ΕU institutionally.
The Communist Party of Greece will throw all its weight behind the struggles of both the Greek and the other peoples of the ΕU, in order to overturn the anti-grass roots policies which the election of the new President of the European Commission marks.
Thousands of workers in Greece are being made redundant with the go-ahead of the ΕU and the governments which support it.
That is why the Communist Party of Greece voted against Mr José Manuel Barroso."@en1
