The KKE held on the 2nd of July its central rally before the referendum on the 5th of July.

Dimitris Koutsoumpas, the GS of the CC of the KKE, spoke at the mass rally and stressed amongst other things:

"Our people are being called on to take part in a referendum with a YES or a NO, which are only different in terms of appearance.

Both the YES and the NO mean the acceptance of a new memorandum of anti-people measures, perhaps the worst that we have seen up to now.

Both the YES and NO will lead the people to new torments and tragedies.

Both the YES and the NO mean anti-worker, anti-people measures.

The referendum is an alibi for a new memorandum-agreement at the expense of the Greek people.

The KKE calls on the Greek people to reject all the blackmail, to cast its proposal into the ballot box and say:

WE DO NOT CHOOSE ANTI-PEOPLE MEASURES-WE DO NOT CHOOSE A NEW MEMORANDUM-WE CANCEL OUT THE FALSE DILEMMAS.

WE SAY NO TO THE PROPOSAL OF THE EU-IMF-ECB AND TO ANY COMPROMISE PROPOSAL OF THE GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE THEY WILL ALL BANKRUPT THE PEOPLE.

WE DEMAND DISENGAGEMENT FROM THE PREDATORY ALLIANCE OF THE EU WITH THE PEOPLE TRULY HOLDING THE REINS OF POWER.

The people must cast a ballot paper into the ballot box which can not be misinterpreted. The following ballot must be cast which says : "NO to the proposal of the EU-ECB-IMF. NO to the proposal of the government. Disengagement from the EU, with the people holding the reins of power." Even if they say that it is a spoiled ballot."
