Letter of solidarity with the Communist Party of Poland

Dear comrades,

Congratulations on your recent victory when the regional court in Dąbrowa Górnicza acquitted the members of the editorial board of the Communist Party of Poland magazine “Brzask” and the website of the Communist Party of Poland of charges of “promoting a totalitarian system”.

As we have previously stated, this persecution was part of an anti-communist campaign launched by the state authorities and aimed to proscribe the Communist Party of Poland. This is a deliberate and calculated offensive designed to outlaw the Communist Party and obliterate the gains and achievements of socialism. This disgraceful attack and crude anti-communist distortion of history took place at a time of growing racism, xenophobia, attacks on migrant workers and refugees.

While this is an important victory for the CPP, it is far from the end of the struggle.  

The Workers Party of Ireland continues to stand in solidarity and friendship with the Communist Party of Poland.
