Mass participation of the KKE and KNE in the commemoration march for the communist leaders in Berlin

On Sunday 12 January the march in memory and honour of the revolutionary communist leaders Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, who were assassinated on 15 January 1919, took place in Berlin. The march, which was first held in 1926, was attended by members and friends of the KKE and KNE, who shouted slogans such as “Our future is not capitalism, it is the new world, socialism”, “A century of struggle and sacrifice, the KKE in the vanguard”, as well as slogans for the joint struggle and the internationalist solidarity of the peoples.

The banner of the Party, inspired by the epilogue to Luxemburg’s article of 14 January 1919, the day before her assassination, read in German and Greek: “The revolution will rise up again and it will proclaim: I WAS, I AM AND I SHALL BE!”. Thousands of people took part in the march, and the demonstrators once again faced repression by the German police.

The march ended at the Momument to the Dead of the Communist and Labour Movement, where the two founders of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), Liebknecht and Luxemburg, and other personalities of the German communist and labour movement are buried. A delegation of the Communist Party of Greece and the Communist Party of Turkey laid a joint wreath of the two parties in memory of the two communist leaders at the monument, which was erected in 1951 in East Berlin during the period of the German Democratic Republic.
