Communist Party of Luxembourg (KPL) - On the Congress of the “European Left Party” (393 words)

Together with communists from different other European countries, the KPL will go on striving to further develop the co-operation and the unity of action of those communist parties who are based on Marxist positions and who are seriously working for overcoming capitalism and for a socialist perspective.
