Dear Comrades
The Communist Party of Finland sends comradely greetings to Your Convention. Your Convention takes place in a situation where capitalism is in a deep crises. This is not only economical and financial crises but also energy-crises, ecological crises, crises of democracy and systemic crises. The neo-liberal policies and policies of war make the situation even more dangerous. These crises altogether lead to the crises of the civilization, too,
In this situation the activities and co-operation of communist, left and other progressive forces is more and more important. We wish all the success to Your Convention and send fraternal greetings to You and to all members of You party.
On behalf of the political committee of the
Communist Party of Finland
