DEW's May Day message General Secretary of the Communist Party of Sri Lanka D. E. W. Gunasekera in his May Day message has said that the two years of the United National Front rule led by Ranil Wickremesinghe had failed to deliver the goods. Gunasekera further said that the decisive victory of the United People's Freedom Alliance has strengthened the unity of the progressive and democratic forces in their struggle against neo-liberal policies. Message is as follows: "The Communist Party of Sri Lanka extends its warm greetings to the working class of Sri Lanka and all other progressive, patriotic and democratic forces on their decisive victory at the recent General Elections and the Wayamba Provincial Council Elections. The year since our last May Day 2003 witnessed two distinct trends of development on the world scene - one, that the attack against the people, in particular the working class, has been intensified many times over by imperialist forces and the other, as a positive development, the people's resistance has grown in strength, the world over. This resistance to economic globalization and imperialist invasions continues to have a profound impact on political and economic life in both the developed and developing countries. May Day 2004 places before the working class of Sri Lanka the task of strengthening this unity further, exposing and defeating the communal and divisive forces and leading the people's struggle to save the country from disaster brought about by the neo-liberal policies. |
