Dear Friends and Comrades,

We convey to you all, and especially to Comrade Joma, the salute of the Communist Organization of Greece / KOE (member of the Coalition of Radical Left / SYRIZA), confident that you are indeed striving in order to advance the Philippine Revolution to a higher stage. Such an advance shall offer the Filipino People a real relief from its actual suffering, while at the same time it will constitute a further and concrete encouragement for the Greek People's ongoing struggles against the same enemies, the imperialist forces and the capitalist bandits.

Our common enemies, who have taken in Greece the form of the IMF-EU-ECB Troika, and enjoy the unconditional submissiveness of their local lackeys, are actually stripping Greece off the last remnants of Democracy, Sovereignty and Dignity, causing a severe humanitarian crisis within the EU and threatening the very survival of broad popular masses. On the other hand, the Greek People is not only resisting but, through the strengthening of SYRIZA, is fighting for a deep political change that will pave a new perspective and shall inspire successful popular struggles all over Europe – hence the hate and the attacks of the German-dominated EU establishment against SYRIZA, who threatens their criminal policies.

Dear Friends and Comrades,

We hope that despite the increasing objective difficulties, we shall be able to further develop our long standing fraternal relations and our mutual solidarity. The history and the present of the Philippine Revolution, thanks to the resolution and the sacrifice of thousands of militants, is a great source of inspiration for the revolutionaries around the world. Moreover, the combative and at the same time true humanitarian spirit of the NDFP, of its mass organizations and of its armed wing, the NPA, and their sincere dedication in the service of the masses, are great examples for us all. We witness these qualities time and again, the last case being your relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts in the regions affected by the disastrous Yolanda typhoon.

At the same time, we witness the shameless policy of the Aquino regime, which concentrates all its “efforts” not in the relief of the suffering masses, but on the attacks against the NDFP. Even after the Yolanda typhoon, and while the NPA had declared and strictly observed a unilateral ceasefire, the Aquino regime did not hesitate to continue its infamous and barbaric “counter-insurgency operations”. The most recent episode of this shameless policy has been the illegal arrest of Benito Tiamzon and Wilma Austria, senior leaders of the Communist Party of the Philippines, together with five other comrades last 22 March. We condemn this act and we demand that the Philippines' government ceases the continuous violation of the official agreements between itself and the NDFP, concerning the peace talks and the immunity of the NDFP consultants.

Solidarity and revolutionary greetings on the 45th NPA anniversary

By PETER WEISPFENNING

Dear comrades,

We hereby convey solidary and revolutionary greetings of the Central Committee of MLPD and the youth league REBELL on the occasion of today’s 45th anniversary of NPA (New People's Army).

The founding of the New People's Army in March 1969 under the leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines drew a clear dividing line to revisionism and its betrayal of the liberation struggle with the illusion of the "peaceful way to socialism".

With the NPA, the tradition of the guerrilla struggle in the Philippines was revived – and since then kept for 45 years now.

We got to know the revolutionary struggle in the Philippines and the work of NPA lively in the solidarity campaign "Freedom for the Philippines“ in the beginning of the 1990ies. The film "Green Guerrilla“ impressively showed that the NPA is not a militaristic organization, but leads the struggle linked with the masses, carries out a steady rank-and- file work to organize the people in their fields of work, and organizes educational work and political enlightenment.

The imperialists defame the armed struggle of the working class and the people’s masses as "terrorism“, while they themselves organize state terror.

We fully support the demand to release your comrades Benito Tiamzon, Wilma Austria and five other comrades, who were arrested on 22 March in breach of the regulations of the peace negotiation between NDF and the Philippine government.

Freedom for all political prisoners in the Philippines!
Long live the struggle of the working class and the people’s masses for national and social liberation on the Philippines!
Workers of all countries, unite!
Workers of all countries and oppressed people, unite!
Onward with the preparation of the international socialist revolution!



Warmest and revolutionary greetings,
