Against Anti-communism Communist Party in Denmark (KpiD) June 8, 2010 http://www.kommunisterne.dk , mailto:kpid@kommunisterne.dk Communist Party in Denmark, KpiD, has sent the protest below to the Danish foreign ministry, to the Danish Parliament, to the Danish members of the EU, to the Polish embassy in Denmark, to the Polish Sejm and to the Polish Senate. On June the 8th a new law goes into effect in Poland. According to this law it will be illegal to use any symbols which the rulers consider communist. The use of such symbols will be punishable. It is shocking that an EU-membership country in this way suppresses the freedom of expression and other human rights that should belong to all people in a modern world! It is bending the knees to the fascist and Nazi forces that gain still more influence in Poland, in the Czech Republic, in Hungary, in the Baltic States and elsewhere including in Denmark. Every attempt to equate communism to Nazism is a lie and a reactionary falsification of history. The communists were among the first ones to fight actively against Nazism in all its aspects. This happened in Germany, in Denmark, and in the Eastern European states. It cost a lot of sacrifices. At the same time others understood how to gain big profits from the Nazi occupation. It was the Soviet Union that with tremendous human sacrifices was the leading force that together with communist and other resistant movements in all occupied countries including Denmark and with the allied nations ensured the defeat of Nazis rule in Europe. We urge all good people to protest against these attacks on the organisations of the working class and on human decency. A special moral responsibility rests upon the Danish government, the Danish parliament and the Danish members of the European Parliament. They should all participate in the protests against this undemocratic legislation that we see in Poland and elsewhere. Communist Party in Denmark, KPiD Betty Frydensbjerg Carlsson Chairman |
