COMMUNIST PARTY OF FINLAND Chairman JP (Juha-Pekka) Väisänen Speech at the 17. th Meeting of the Communist and Workers’ Parties in Istanbul, Turkey 30.10-1.11.2015

Communist Party of Finland aligns that the struggle of the European Left and civil society against the Troika, the EU’s oppressive structures, neoliberalism and austerity is the most crucial issue of all. It’s unity and power will determine the outcome of future struggles: will we remain subordinate to the Troika or will we manage to change the direction of policy. We need greater and more robust cooperation among communists and other progressive forces – mass movements, radical leftists, the trade union movement and the environmental movement.
