At our IWWD meeting on Saturday, 14 March, the Irish Communist Party (ICP) extended greetings of solidarity to progressive women’s organisations throughout the world. We express our support in particular for women and their families in Palestine, Sudan, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Kenya, the wider Middle East, Ukraine, Russia, and many other regions currently experiencing war, instability, and conflict.

The attack launched on the Iran by the United States and Israel is a clear rejection of international law, an attack without excuse, and the Irish Communist Party/Páirtí Cumannach Éireann condemns it unequivocally and calls on the Irish and British Governments to boycott diplomatic relations with Israel.

The Irish Communist Party/Páirtí Cumannach Éireann condemns unequivocally the ban on the communist Party of Poland declared by the Polish constitutional court this week.

Her campaign can serve as both a rallying point and a test for the progressive forces in Ireland, proving that unity and coordinated struggle against imperialism and neoliberalism are not only possible but necessary.

Throughout Europe, the capitalists powers are in decline as their model continues to fail and contradictions continue to mount. The future is socialist, and the refrain of all workers must be then as now: all power to the Soviets – expropriate the expropriators.
