The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) issued a statement in which it said that “The catastrophe awaiting small- and medium-sized farmers from Russia’s embargo is the result of the EU and USA interference in Ukraine, an interference supported by the Greek government, with the sole criterion of European and American monopolies infiltrating the area”.

KKE calls government to dissociate itself from EU sanctions against Russia, otherwise “the government’s responsibility remains” and asks the government “to take measures to support the small- and medium-sized farmers, through reparations in prices that should cover the production cost of their products.”
