New Democracy (ND) and the government have offered false expectations to the people, while SYRIZA has been creating illusions and false hopes and has converged with ND’s main policy, communist KKE party secretary general Dimitris Koutsoumbas told Ant1 TV on Wednesday.

Asked why KKE participates in the elections while it is opposed to the European Union, Koutsoumbas said the contribution of the party’s MEPs to disclosing EU’s guidelines and strategy implemented in Greece and other member-states in the form of laws was very important.

Asked how the overturning that KKE calls will be done, Koutsoumbas said that a wide popular alliance needs to be set up adding that on one hand there is a class that has the power and on the other hand there is the labour class, the poor farmers, the self-employed, the unemployed, women and the youth.

He underlined that this is where “society is divided” and rejected the divisions of the past, such as the “pro” or “anti” memorandum labourer, the “right” or the “left” labourer and stressed that the people that have been hit hard by the monopolies can be united.
