Once again Parliament has turned its attention to the progress of the candidate countries. The truth is that this is a question of the annexation of these countries to the ΕU, which is why the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece will be voting against the report, which has every reason to welcome the ‘progress’ which has allegedly been made by these countries. Their peoples have every cause for concern. The selling off to big business of public corporations and their wealth, the abolition of all socialist achievements and ownership, the restriction on their sovereign rights and so forth are the price which the peoples of the candidate countries are paying and will continue to pay.
The report is brimming with hypocrisy as far as human rights are concerned. There is not one single reference to the lack of political rights of the Russian minority in the Baltic states, to the persecutions and prohibitions of communist parties and their leaders and symbols, none of which, in the EU’s eyes, qualifies as an infringement of human rights, as their officials have repeatedly and provocatively stated.
For Cyprus in particular, we wonder: what does the reference to the imminent accession of the Greek Cypriots alone mean? Similarly, why, given that everyone recognises that Denktaş is responsible for the lack of progress in negotiations, are they pushing for further concessions from the Greek-Cypriot side? We are certain that the Cypriot people will fight for a fair and viable solution."@en1
