ANTIWAR DEMONSTRATION


Greek Social Forum's activists demontrated against war during the army march on the National Independence day. 

 

 

Dominant was an intense antiwar climate in Greece even on the very day of National Independence during the traditional army march. 

 

 

The Greek Social Forum intervened in the army march in the center of Athens shouting antiwar mottos, while at the time the army vehicles of war were parading they broke into «no Greek engagement in the war do away with American military bases and NATO. 

 

The Greek activists poured red color on the army vehicles parading in front of them. When the police realized that a large group of leftists and activists was about to proceed in an antiwar protest and facing the danger of the army feast getting ruined moved instantly in an effort to isolate the rioters. 

 

 

Despite all this, they did not manage to drown mottos like

 

No soldier in the Persian Gulf We are not fighting for oil, 

 

Bush is a butcher Get out of Baghdad, 

 

The peoples are fighting and are going to win They will stop this war. 

 

 

The move ended with an antiwar demonstration in the streets of Athens, under the strict surveillance of the police forces. Similar protests were organized today in other big cities of Greece, like Piraeus, Salonica, and Katerini. The Greek antiwar movement, consisting of many hundreds of thousands, is using all its strength in daily acts to stop the disaster of war, from day one of the American invasion in Iraq. Further action is being organized in the days to come.
