Czech Happenings May 1, 2002 Communist leader Grebenicek against NATO, EU - 1.5. PRAGUE, May 1 (CTK) - Communist (KSCM) leader Miroslav Grebenicek spoke against the Czech Republic's NATO and EU membership in his May Day speech he made at a rally of about 10,000 to 12,000 people according to police estimates at Prague's Letna plain today. "If Czech employees are to be only cheap labour and Czech businesspeople and framers to go bankrupt amid unequal competition, then such integration must be rejected," Grebenicek told the rally which was also participated in by Cuban ambassador to the Czech Republic David Paulovich. Grebenicek said that class differences had been escalated in the country - the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. He said this was a logical part of the process in which all national property had been sold out under price. The current Social Democrat government has only carried on the partition of state interests into private properties, Grebenick said. "We blame the government for having succumbed to the right- wing madness set on the total privatisation of everything which was to and could benefit citizens," Grebenicek told the crowd who interrupted him with applause and affirmative shouting. In this situation the hosting of a NATO summit in Prague [in November] is an expression of "paramount power arrogance," Grebenicek said adding that it would cost taxpayers more than one billion crowns. He assured the participants that the communists would prevent attempts to revise the results of World War Two including the transfer of Sudeten Germans. Grebenicek was referring to the calls of some Austrian, German and Hungarian politicians for the abrogation of the Benes decrees under which Sudeten Germans and also Hungarians were deported from then Czechoslovakia. He also promised that the Communists would work for full employment, solidarity-based social welfare and free education. The KSCM organised rally proceeded in calm. Only about ten communism opponents unfolded posters reading "Red Poverty" and "KSCM - threat to humankind." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
