Dear Comrades, Dear Friends,

On the way to revolution and socialism we left behind another year full of struggle. The year 2004, both in our country and in the whole world, witnessed the resistance of the workers and labourers against the neoliberal attacks of the bourgeoisie. It witnessed the development of the anti-imperialist struggle and how the imperialist NATO was driven to a corner in Istanbul. During this year, the resistance of the Iraqi people against imperialist occupation and aggression has grown and the Intifada has been continued determinedly in Palestine.

In the wish that the year 2005 will be a year in which the struggle of the working class and the labourers against imperialist barbarity, for revolution and socialism will be carried out even more determinedly and even better organized, with communist enthusiasm we wish all comrades and friends a fighting New Year and success in our common struggle.

With communist greetings,

MLCP International Bureau
