The KKE recorded a significant increase of 100,000 votes and 2.5% compared to 2019
Large increase in Attica, Thessaloniki, Patras and other urban centres
In its statement, the Political Bureau of the CC of the KKE hails the thousands of people who strengthened the KKE with their votes and fought the battle for its electoral growth in the June elections.
The statement stresses, among other things, that the electoral reinforcement of the KKE is not circumstantial but an indicator of the rise of the prestige that the Party has gained among the working class and the entire people, by leading emblematic struggles and demonstrations.
It is assessed that a growing momentum of the Party’s electoral influence is expressed, yet within an ongoing negative political correlation of forces.
It is stressed that the 20 MPs of the KKE, 5 more than before, will be where they promised to be, i.e. at the forefront of the struggles against the problems faced by the workers and the people.
The PB of the CC of the KKE calls upon the people to join forces and act in concert with it. In opposition to disillusionment, fatalism and compromise fostered by SYRIZA and other forces, hope lies in the path of conflict with this policy, this system, the directions of the EU and the commitments to NATO. In the important political battles ahead, such as the municipal and regional elections in October 2023, a further rallying of workers’–people’s forces can be expressed through the ballot papers of “People’s Rallying” nationwide.
