Statement of Support from the Algerian Party for Democracy and Socialism to the Communist Party of Poland
The Algerian Party for Democracy and Socialism (PADS) expresses its steadfast and unwavering internationalist support for the Communist Party of Poland, which continues to face relentless attacks from the reactionary Polish state.
We strongly condemn the repression by the Polish authorities and the criminalization of the Communist Party of Poland through the referral of its case to the Constitutional Tribunal, aimed at banning its objectives and all its party activities. These extreme reactionary measures, unprecedented in history, are nothing but an expression of the deep fear inspired by emancipatory thought in the face of the revolutionary organization of the working class and progressive sectors by the Polish bourgeoisie.
This assault is part of a broader campaign of historical falsification, fascist rehabilitation, and anti-communist and anti-emancipatory hysteria, led by imperialist and reactionary forces seeking to erase the legacy of workers’ struggles and the socialist victories of the twentieth century.
The Algerian Party for Democracy and Socialism (PADS) affirms that the criminalization of communists and communism in Poland constitutes an aggression not only against the Communist Party of Poland but against all progressive and communist movements worldwide. Its aim is to intimidate activists, suppress class consciousness, and prevent the independent organization of the working class.
In the spirit of our loyalty to proletarian internationalism, we declare that any attack on the Polish Communist Party is an attack on all of us. We salute the steadfastness, conviction, and perseverance of our comrades in Poland, who defend the principles of communism and the people’s right to a society free from capitalist exploitation under these difficult conditions.
The Algerian Party for Democracy and Socialism (PADS) reaffirms that no anti-communist campaign, bourgeois court, or imperialist pressure over the exercise of acquired rights of struggle can halt the historical advance of emancipatory revolutionary communist thought.
Full solidarity with the Communist Party of Poland!
Long live the struggles of the workers of Poland and the world!

The Norwegian Communist Party (NKP) firmly condemns the recent initiative of Polish President Karol Nawrocki, who on 14 November 2025 appealed to the Constitutional Court to ban the Communist Party of Poland. This represents a blatant attack on basic democratic rights, on political pluralism, and on the working-class movement in Poland.
Attempts to outlaw communist parties belong to the darkest traditions of fascism and authoritarian repression. As our comrades and sister parties have noted, the move to criminalise the Communist Party of Poland forms part of a broader, Europe-wide campaign aimed at silencing communist, socialist, left-wing and progressive forces. These actions are an instrument of oppression directed against the working people and the organised struggle for social justice.
Throughout history, capital has repeatedly relied on violence, reaction, and inhumane methods to secure its interests—giving rise to fascism, terrorism, militarism, and war. Today, this destructive logic is increasingly visible in the policies of the EU and NATO states, which pursue militarisation at home and abroad, expand their military infrastructure across the world, and escalate tensions that threaten global peace. Instead of addressing the crises produced by capitalism, European leaders have turned towards repression, censorship, and the rehabilitation of far-right ideologies.
In this context, the assault on the Communist Party of Poland is not an isolated event, but part of a wider reactionary turn in European politics. It mirrors the suppression of dissident and communist forces in Ukraine, where the combination of nationalist extremism, NATO intervention, and neoliberal restructuring has created a regime hostile to peace, democracy, and social rights. By aligning itself with these forces, the Polish government bears responsibility for contributing to instability and for enabling the march toward potential wider conflict.
The communist movement has consistently warned of the dangers of militarism and has defended peace, internationalism, and friendship and solidarity between peoples.
NKP expresses its unwavering solidarity with the Communist Party of Poland. We reject any attempt to criminalise communist activity, to silence the working class, or to erase the historical and contemporary role of communists in the struggle for peace, equality, and socialism. Efforts to ban the Communist Party of Poland are an attack not only on our Polish comrades, but on all forces fighting for a just and democratic world.
We call on communist and workers’ parties internationally to stand united in defence of political rights, and to oppose the reactionary forces seeking to return Europe to its darkest past.
In solidarity with our Polish comrades —
For peace, democracy, and socialism.
The Central Committee of the Norwegian Communist Party.
The Communist Party USA condemns the anti-communist ruling by Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal to outlaw the Communist Party of Poland (KPP). This decision, instigated by the ultra-right President Karol Nawrocki, is a blatant political attack on democratic rights. It criminalizes an entire school of political thought and a legitimate vehicle for working-class representation under the hollow pretext of defending “constitutional order.”
This attack in Poland is not an isolated event. It is a deliberate escalation within a coordinated international campaign to eradicate both communist ideology and historical memory. This anti-communist crusade seeks to whitewash history by equating the struggle for socialism with the horrors of fascism. Its main goal is to dismantle any organized working class opposition to capitalism, war, and exploitation.
We also see this dangerous trend manifesting in our own country. The recent proclamation of an “Anti-Communism Week” by President Donald Trump, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, is a calculated provocation. It revives the worst Cold War myths painting the struggle for equality and peace as “one of history’s most destructive ideologies.” This rhetoric provides a smokescreen for attacking the rights and living standards of all working people.
Furthermore, the Trump administration’s executive orders—including the designation of the decentralized “antifa” movement as a terrorist organization and the sweeping mandates of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7)—reveal the true target of this anti-communist hysteria: all progressive dissent by the masses of working people.
We stand in unwavering solidarity with our comrades in the Communist Party of Poland. We affirm their right—and the right of people everywhere—to organize, to advocate for socialism, and the freedom to participate fully in the political process. We call upon all democratic-minded people in the United States to recognize these attacks for what they are: a concerted assault on the liberties of all meant to clear the path for unchecked corporate greed and political representation only for the parties of the capitalist class.
El Partido Comunista de Chile solidariza con el Partido Comunista de Polonia ante la arremetida pseudo legalista del gobierno polaco, a través del Tribunal Constitucional de ese país, que pretende, con un pretexto antidemocrático prohibir las actividades del Partido Comunista de Polonia.
Dichas medidas sólo obedecen a las actitudes guerreristas y de falsificación de la historia de parte del actual gobierno de Polonia y sus aliados de la OTAN, que los ha llevado ciegamente a comparar como iguales las políticas del socialismo y del fascismo, tratando de
desconocer que fue la ex URSS junto a millones de combatientes soviéticos, polacos y de otros países los que entregaron sus vidas en la lucha y destrucción del nazismo alemán.
Las ideas del socialismo, de la paz y el progreso no pueden eliminarse por decretos espurios que sólo reflejan el miedo de las autoridades a una verdad irrefutable.
¡Viva el Partido Comunista de Polonia!
PARTIDO COMUNISTA DE CHILE.
Dear comrades!
On 14 November 2025, polish president Karol Nawrocki appealed to the country's Constitutional Court with an initiative to ban the Communist Party of Poland.
The communist parties of the Union of Communist Parties – Communist Party of the Soviet Union (UCP-CPSU) informing about its position on this issue, notes that the Communist Parties belonging to the UCP-CPSU are outraged by such actions of the polish leadership. The attempts of the ruling circles of Poland to ban the Communist Party continue the ‘traditions’ of the fascists, bloody juntas and other terrorist regimes. President Nawrocki's initiative is yet another link in the chain of the Europe-wide struggle against communist, socialist, left-wing and other progressive movements, an instrument of oppression of the working people.
Capital has always used violence and other inhumane methods, giving rise to the most vile phenomena, such as fascism, terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism, cold wars, economic wars, information wars and other wars.
The course of events confirms this once again. Today, having lost the last remnants of shame, European leaders are increasingly using fascism as a tool to achieve their own interests: the revival of colonial policies of plunder; the preservation of an unjust unipolar system of international relations.
Thus, direct support from NATO countries has elevated fascism to the rank of state ideology in Ukraine. It was the leaders of Western countries, under the dictation of the United States, who revived fascism. The «Bandera junta» turned this country into a concentration camp for dissidents. Like its ideological inspirers, the German Nazis, it first dealt with the Communist Party, then closed down undesirable media outlets and completely destroyed the opposition.
The Сollective West is pursuing a policy of militarisation not only in its own countries. They have moved on to the practice of total militarisation of politics and economics.
Washington and its NATO allies have encircled the world with their military bases and are proliferating deadly weapons, conducting experiments with deadly viruses and bacteria.
In this way, the leaders of Europe are cynically leading the world community towards the outbreak of a third world war.
Poland is also complicit and responsible for all these crimes, including the military conflict unleashed in Ukraine.
For their part, communists have always spoken openly about the real threat of a new world war and have taken a stand for peace and friendship between peoples.
The International Communist and Labour movement continues to openly oppose the aggressive policies of Western Imperialism. Two International Anti-Fascist Forums in Minsk and Moscow, as well as a media forum in Moscow, provided a fundamental assessment of current world events and developed a realistic platform for the unity of left-wing forces in the fight against the ‘brown’ threat.
The current attempt to ban the Communist Party of Poland is direct evidence of the strengthening of extreme right-wing reactionary forces oriented towards the interests of capital, and returns the world to the dark years of fascism.
We openly declare that the initiative of Polish President Karol Nawrocki to ban the Communist Party of Poland is aimed at concealing his crimes.
We strongly condemn the extremist policies of the Polish and European Union leadership, which are manifested in their support and sponsorship of Ukrainian Nazism, the militarisation of Europe, and the fight against communist and progressive regimes throughout the world.
The communist parties of the Union of Communist Parties – Communist Party of the Soviet Union (UCP-CPSU)call on all Communist and Workers' Parties of the world to consolidate their efforts to eliminate fascism, Nazism, and world war as a tool for preserving an unjust unipolar world order, to express their strong protest against yet another despicable attempt to crack down on communists in Poland, to show solidarity and support to their polish comrades, and to take our position into account in their assessments of the current situation.
