On this day, 106 years ago, on November 4, 1918, the founding congress of the Socialist Labor Party of Greece was held in Piraeus, which in November 1924 was renamed the Communist Party of Greece (KKE).
A major feature explores the circumstances that led to the necessity of establishing the KKE during that period. The mature international political and social conditions, as well as the conditions for workers and working families in Greece, led to the first founding congress held at the offices of the Piraeus Steamboat Engineers Association.
In the special feature on the show Hour Greece with Nikolas Angelidis on the microphone, all the key moments in the party’s journey are revisited through its developments and congresses… A historical walk through struggles, persecutions, imprisonments, exiles, and great victories for the people.
