Platform for Independence – Greece Speech In Belgrade Conference

Dear comrades,

Greetings from the PLATFORM FOR INDEPENDENCE, my organization, which considers independence as the necessary prerequisite for any progressive – socialist change. Independence for Greece has the sole meaning of unilateral withdrawal from NATO and European Union. It is clear for us that under the control of EU and NATO the European countries can’t become independent.

We fully agree with the Paris Declaration of WAP. Our organization has already endorsed it, as well as two more organizations from Greece. We have already invited WAP to send a delegation in our country in the near future in order to promote the anti-imperialist struggle and the coordination on the common goals. We consider the declaration as the necessary basis for the anti-imperialist movement of our era. Today, people do not confront a variety of imperialisms. The US and their close allies in the Anglo-Saxon world and in central Europe are the sole imperialist block. 

We hope to see WAP having a permanent function, possibly with a leading body or a secretariat which could facilitate the coordination and effectiveness of our work. 

Dear comrades 

The US and its allies continue their bloody expansion to the East. They continue the war against Russia in Ukraine. Much will be judged from the outcome of this war. First of all the right of Russia to continue its existence as a sovereign & independent state. Second, in case of a NATO victory in Ukraine a large number of countries will see their possibilities of for independence and sovereignty shrinking. 3rd only a clear Russian victory could cancel the plans for a new war against Serbia and the Serbs in Bosnia in order to bend the resistance against the integration in NATO of the rest of the Balkans. 

The US along with UK and Australia, and EU recklessly try to drag China in war. They try the same with Iran and Korea. Arrogantly they believe that now they still have the power to win all wars simultaneously. That makes the new imperialistic wars imminent.

In this very moment solidarity with Russia is our most urgent task. However all countries who are facing an imminent aggression from the imperialist block deserve our active solidarity.

Comrades,

This conference in Belgrade, the capital of Balkans, is a really important initiative because Belgrade symbolizes the suffering of the whole Balkans from the imperialistic barbarity. Could anybody forget the bombing of this historic city, the demolition of the bridges, the bombing of tv stations, and embassies, the use of depleted Uranium? This was a war crime against all of us who live in the broader region.

The US sponsors provocations against Serbian population in Kosovo and in Bosnia on a daily basis. The ethnic cleansing is still in progress. In the agreements related on Kosovo and Bosnia, the Westerns do not honor even their own signatures.

Since 1990, the former socialist countries in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, experience a total wealth grabbing by their new “friends”, experience the destruction of their productive base and, as a consequence, the forced migration of a whole generation.

The Westerns orchestrated and fueled the wars for the dissolution of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia was the largest and strongest state in the region. They never accepted the existence of a sovereign independent Yugoslavia, a leading member of the Non Aligned Movement (NAM). When the collapse of the social system gave them the opportunity, in its place they established official protectorates, the first in Europe, and a large number of small easily controllable entities.

My country, Greece, is a member of NATO since 1952 and since 1980 of the EU. Simultaneously is the oldest puppet-state of the West in the district. This is the price we had to pay for the defeat of the national independence movement in the 40s. Additional to all this, the US imposed to Greece a military dictatorship. It was the necessary step in order to achieve the dismembering of Cyprus, which was an active member of the NΑM. Since 2010 EU and IMF instrumentalized our sovereign debt and they accomplished a total looting of our public and private wealth together with full control of the whole political system, including the Communist Party which considers Russia and China as imperialists and feels comfortable in the eurozone. 

Dear comrades

We should not consider the current sad situation of the Balkans as permanent!

Peoples in the Balkans do not accept to live their lives in miserable small western protectorates dedicated to send soldiers as cannon fodder to the imperialist wars. We do not accept to continue sending our best sons and daughters as immigrants to Western Europe and North America. We do not accept the transformation of our countries in simple tourist destinations for wealthy westerners.

On the other side, we do not accept also to become again the western provinces of a new Ottoman Empire, which will also be controlled, on a different level, by the US. 

We want the Balkans to regain independent, strong and democratic states, liberated from the yoke of the EU and NATO, cooperating with each other, in all levels, as equal sovereign states with a view to create a political and economic union of the Balkan countries, on a socialist perspective.

Only this kind of states could take advantage of the great potential which offers the emergence of a multipolar world. 

Dear comrades 

Our Organization, Platform for Independence, proposes to all anti-imperialist organizations who are active in the Balkans a permanent coordination in order

1) To end the participation of our countries in the war against Russia. The Balkans never suffered from Russia. However, they suffered a lot from the western powers.

2) Τo expel American bases from our territories.

3) To support the struggle against the integration of the countries who are still independent in NATO and EU. 

4) To raise in each country the issue of unilateral withdrawal from NATO and EU in order to regain control on the state and the economy.

5) To stand in Solidarity with all countries that defend their independence.
