THOUSANDS of peace protesters demonstrated in Athens this week in the largest display yet of opposition both to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and to any escalation of the conflict by Nato.
The march from the university area to the parliament had the blessing of the full range of the left in the country: from the main opposition party Syriza, through the party of former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, to the Communist Party (KKE) and forces of the anti-capitalist left.
The KKE had last week called a demonstration from the Russian to the US embassy against what the party general secretary Dimitris Koutsoumbas has described as an inter-imperialist war “in which working people are told to choose between rival robber camps.”
