High schools students shout slogans during an antiwar rally in Athens, Greece, Monday, March 14, 2022
GREEK workers and peace activists staged a mass anti-war rally as the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle arrived in the port of Piraeus in Athens today.
The protest, backed by the Greek Committee for International Detente and Peace and the the Panhellenic Union of Merchant Marine Engineers, was organised under the slogan “No war — imperialist ships are not welcome in Piraeus.”
Organisers described Piraeus as “a port of the peoples and not of the war and the imperialists.”
