The Initiative of Communist and Workers' Parties (INITIATIVE) was a Marxist–Leninist cooperative association of primarily European Communist parties. The initiative had 30 member parties from all over Europe and the surrounding area.[1] The Communist Party of Greece was the main founder of initiative.[2] The express purpose of the organisation was to "contribute to the research and study of issues concerning Europe, particularly concerning the EU, the political line which is drawn up in its framework and affects the lives of the workers, as well as to assist the elaboration of joint positions of the parties and the coordination of their solidarity and their other activities".[3] On 9 September 2023, the organisation was dissolved following ideological and political differences between the association's members over the topic of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4] The European Communist Action was established on 18 November 2023 as a continuation of the INITIATIVE association created by the Communist Party of Greece.[5]
