The European Commission determined that the absolutely illegal aggression of the convicted on 37 felony counts Donald Trump against Venezuela and the abduction of its elected president Nicolás Maduro is an “opportunity for a democratic transition” based on the opposition. It also made it clear that it will not recognize as president of the country vice-president Rodriguez – preferring, obviously, the far-right schemer Machado and the fraudster Guaidó.

Violating every sense of International Law, and even US Law itself, convicted felon Donald Trump launched military assault against Venezuela, in order to overthrow its government and install a puppet regime friendly to US corporate (mostly oil) interests. In his efforts, the disgraceful act of awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the far-right, Trumpist Machado, only acts as a boost – it gives her credibility in the eyes of European Union “democratic” governments.

In another display of insolence and bravado, the convicted felon Donald Trump decided to start ordering European businesses to disobey EU labor and anti-discrimination laws. The US government has precisely zero competence and authority over the European Union, its member-states, and European businesses’ compliance with EU law. In other words, the convicted felon has no right whatsoever to order any nation’s businesses to violate existing national, supranational, and international law.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices are solid recruitment and Human Resources (HR) tools that have been beneficial to businesses, universities, and organizations: they have helped them discover, gain, retain and utilize talent that would otherwise be overlooked and underutilized due to biases that have everything to do with potential employees’ color, sex, gender, and wealth, and nothing to do with how skilled or talented they really are. DEI is a competitive advantage that EU should fully embrace, instead of crippling its businesses by bowing down to Trump and his unhinged cabinet in their racist, bigoted, sexist, destructive “culture wars”.
Trump, a conman who has bankrupted every business he’s ever touched, is in no position to talk about best practices in hiring. What he really wants to do is make hiring racist, racist, and bigoted again – like himself. It’s bad enough that he’s undoing decades of work against exclusionary, racist, sexist practices in business hiring in the United States. His attempt to order European businesses about is beyond disgusting and must be rejected by Europe in the strongest way possible.
We, the Pirate Party of Greece, unequivocally condemn the United States’ interventionism; we condemn all of Trump’s allies in Greece and all over Europe; we call for EU regulatory organizations and businesses to ignore Trump’s illogical and outrageous demands; and call upon every democratic and humanist citizen, every rational professional, every EU enterprise, small and large, and every pro-democracy political party to unite against this out-of-control dictator and his goons.

In 2023, the 11th Congress of The Pirate Party of Greece approved a major update of its Statutes, taking significant steps towards clarifying our party’s ideological identity and giving it a clearly progressive direction. Among the amendments approved by the party’s Congress was the removal, from both the Statutes and the Founding Declaration, of the historically and politically illiterate reference that we do not place ourselves on the “obsolete” Left-Center-Right axis. This reference is a maxim that has hobbled the entire Pirate Movement since its beginning, as it still enjoys a fatwa-like status for most Pirate parties. Most Pirate parties’ leaderships still believe it gives them some sort of “flexibility” regarding the policies (especially fiscal ones) they will endorse in each political context, citing their desire to have a “context-dependent appeal”.
