People of the World, Look at the USSR, how they refuse the will of the people.
Nations of the world who truly fight for the will of the people, do not fall for their ruse anymore.
the People of Belarus, Ukraine, and Crimea have spoken, they do not wish to be ruled by Moscow, and what does the USSR, a nation that claims to fight for the people, they deny them their wish, they slaughter them and seek to oppress them.
Do not fall for their Ruse any more Stand up against this oppression and fight for the will of the people!
Poland accepts.

We support the notion that the newly-rebelled lands should belong to the Polish Republic.

Union with Greece: Triumph of Andreas
- Andreas Papandreou, President of Greece
An impressive comeback has been made by the Socialist PASOK and Andreas Papandreou personally. Last year, the rise of nationalism that Konstantinos Karamanlis and New Democracy cultivated made many political analysts believe that, coupled with rumors Andreas Papandreou not leading the party in the next elections, PASOK would lose the next elections to New Democracy. However, Andreas Papandreou has surprised everyone, even his own party PASOK and the Foreign Minister of Crete-Cyprus, as well as his own son George Papandreou.
Andreas Papandreou knows how to flow with the water. As in 1956, realizing that the Greeks of Crete-Cyprus were turning towards the left and seeing that the centrist Liberal Party was failing to face right wing New Democracy, he betrayed the Liberal Party and with the leftists of the Liberal Party formed PASOK and won the 1957 elections, so now he has turned to the right and played the nationalist card. His opponents, along with a few PASOK MP's, accuse him of being a populist and a demagogue and New Democracy accuses him of stealing their plan. Andreas, however, has become more popular among Greeks than ever before. In secret, unknown to his cabinet, including his Foreign Minister, he used a large part of the budget to unify Greece and Crete-Cyprus, thus creating the new state of Greece.
Some members of PASOK condemned the annexation either due to being far to the left or being angry about not being informed. However, the vast majority of PASOK supported the move, even the cabinet of Andreas. The Foreign Minister Themistocles Sofoulis has shown no anger at all about not being advised over it, but instead supported Andreas. Andreas also surprised his son, George Papandreou, by recovering from his illness thanks to a new diet prescribed by doctors and daily exercises while stating that he will run for President for a third time. George Papandreou was expecting that he would run for President in the 1965 elections and according to some sources is quite furious.
But the most furious of all is Konstantinos Karamanlis, the man who cultivated the nationalist feeling among the Greeks of Crete-Cyprus in an attempt to use it against PASOK. Unfortunately for him, Andreas not only adopted his plan, but he also made it a reality, thus the rising Greek nationalism benefited PASOK and not New Democracy. The entire nationalistic agenda of Konstantinos Karamanlis turned out to be a boomerang.
Konstantinos Karamanlis challenged
- Konstantinos Karamanlis, leader of New Democracy
- Konstantinos Karamanlis, leader of New Democracy
This boomerang has actually cost a lot to New Democracy and it's leader, Konstantinos Karamanlis. First of all, as it has already been said, PASOK was the one which benefited from the rise of Greek nationalism. Secondly, and perhaps most important, infighting has begun in New Democracy. Konstantinos Karamanlis has seen members of New Democracy defecting to PASOK, moderate New Democrats leaving the party, far right New Democrats forming a new party and his own leadership of New Democracy being challenged.
The first challenge came at the end of last year, when more moderate New Democrats formed a new party, "Political Spring", under Antonis Samaras. This cost New Democracy 10 MP's. Next, when PASOK led Crete-Cyprus to annex Greece, 15 far right New Democracy MP's left the party of formed a new one, "Greek Nationalist Party", thus leaving the party with just 79 MP's. But this number became even lower, when 16 MP's defected to PASOK after seeing the resurgence of the popularity of Andreas and his adoption of their nationalistic rhetoric.
In New Democracy itself, MP Alexis Tsipras, a center right New Democracy RP, tried to force a resignation of Konstantinos Karamanlis from the leadership of the party, but he failed to find support from other MP's and resigned from the party, becoming independent MP. Thus, New Democracy has only 62 MP's now. Konstantinos Karamanlis accuses Andreas Papandreou of stealing his plan and has said that he is victim of the establishment, who want to get him out of politics because he will hurt their interests. He has also been quite vitriolic in his attacks, something rare in his statements and indeed Crete-Cyprus politics, saying that PASOK is not socialist anymore but serves the businessmen, the oligarchs and their friends.
New Democracy - KKE Anti-PASOK Alliance
- Dimitris Kotsoumpas, leader of KKE
- Dimitris Kotsoumpas, leader of KKE
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE), in an unexpected move, allied with the right wing New Democracy in what they name a struggle against the establishment. Although there has been some resistance from both members of New Democracy, who see an alliance with Communists as a betrayal of their right wing ideas, and KKE, who view in the same way an alliance with right wing capitalists, the MP's and supporters of both parties have agreed that this alliance is a necessary evil to bring down the establishment and PASOK in the 1965 elections.
Political analysts believe that this is a result of the resurgence of popularity of Andreas due to the union of Greece. With more than 90% of the Greeks supporting Andreas, in the 1965 elections both New Democracy and KKE would be wiped from the face of Greek politics if they did not ally. KKE hopes to steal left wing voters of PASOK while New Democracy has gone even more to the right, hoping to steal right wing voters of PASOK.
But both parties adopt the same line. That PASOK is corrupt, has created an evil establishment, threatens democracy and has to be defeated. Although right now polls show that this coalition has the support of only 7% of the Greeks, analysts expect that when the celebrations for the union with Greece end, PASOK will be trapped as it will face fierce attack from both left and right.
At the same time, Konstantinos Karamanlis has called the MP's who left his party to form their own "sold out" while polls show that both Political Spring and the Greek Nationalist Party have no support at all. Instead, while support for New Democracy seems to be at a low point, this betrayal of Konstantinos Karamanlis, has increased the personal image of the conservative leader, with 70% of the Greeks having a positive opinion of him.

We sent troops to stabilize the area without realizing the the UAR was moving in; a misunderstanding. Our soldiers will be withdrawn immediately.

While we hope to remain on good terms with the International, we would be remiss to not put our support behind the Good People of Poland. The People have spoken, and we hear their word.
