Cyprus Communist Initiative on Presidency: 'Imperialist Union of Capital'

The Communist Initiative of Cyprus (KPC) issued a statement regarding the assumption of the Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) by the Republic of Cyprus in 2026. The KPC argues that this is not an event of national prestige, but rather a reminder of the nature of the EU as an imperialist union of capital and monopolies. The statement notes that the EU's declarations of 'strategic autonomy', 'resilience' and 'security' reflect the exacerbation of imperialist contradictions and militarization, resulting in poverty, insecurity and war risks for workers. The KPC points out that the EU's efforts to contribute to the resolution of the Cyprus issue have proven unsuccessful, as it has elevated Turkey to a 'strategic partner'. The statement demonstrates the KPC's critical stance towards the EU and its policies, considering it a tool of imperialist powers and economic interests.
