KKE: Interview with the Greek Communist Party
Thursday, May 13, 2010 Wikinews reporter Iain Macdonald has performed an interview with Dr Isabella Margara, a London-based member of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). In the interview Margara sets out the communist response to current events in Greece as well as discussing the viability of a communist economy for the nation. She also hit back at Petros Tzomakas, a member of another Greek far-left party which criticised KKE in a previous interview. The interview comes amid tensions in cash-strapped Greece, where the government is introducing controversial austerity measures to try to ease the nation’s debt-problem.

Growing Family And Texas Life Insurance
More On This Topic: Compare Green Slip Quotes Submitted by: Tim Jarvis When families welcome a newborn, there are many exciting decisions that must be made. Decisions including pediatrician selection, work schedules, housing, and day care must be made when a family brings home a newborn.
