Dear Comrades in Struggle!

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine congratulates you with the May Day - International Day of Workers Solidarity!

As during the shooting of the Chicago workers in May 1886, this May Day marks the struggle of your country's working people against capitalist oppression for their social, economic and political rights and freedoms. For the power of workers.

"PEACE, LABOR, MAY". These words sound like alarm in our hearts and call to fight.

In the conditions of the ongoing global crisis of imperialism, in the conditions of an aggravated class struggle, world capital is trying by all means to defend its power, provokes military conflicts, incites fratricidal civil wars, revives fascism across the Planet, sowing enmity between nations. PEACE becomes a luxury. Therefore, in the present conditions, the struggle for PEACE is the primary task of the working people, regardless of nationality, language or religion.

In the swamp of wild capitalism, the solidarity of all those who produce their daily bread by their own WORK is necessary as air.

Going to meet the PROLETARIAN MAY DAY, our most important task is to convert the scattered national performances into an anti-imperialist class powerful and constructive left-wing movement of working people against the domination of the oligarchs of corrupt officials and their bourgeois state. Each of us must remember: it is possible to defeat the exploiters only in a joint struggle, when the working people will be armed with the knowledge of the truth, when the Communist and leftist forces come forward in their vanguard!

Proletarians of all countries unite!

Long live the Day of International Solidarity of Workers!

Long live the solidarity of the working people in the struggle for their rights, for democracy, for socialism!

Regards, First Secretary

Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine       Petro Symonenko
