You do know the differences between a free trade area, a political union of states and a monetary union, don't you? And as far as the KKE is conerned: You point to the fact, why it is impossible for this party at the moment to join a coalition government in Greece, that has to renegotiate sovereign debt, to renew social politics, and to avoid an abyss for the Greek people and working class caused by a forced exit from the monetary union. But the KKE is not a party of "truthers" - in your wording "the only party that tells that fact". The KKE is part of the Party of the European Left (EL), as is Syriza, although the KKE's two Members of the Eruopean Parliament did not join the Parliamentary Group of 52 MEPs named European United Left – Nordic Green Left (GUE-NGL) last year, which comprises members from a.o. Syriza, the Left Party (Germany), and Podemos. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
