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.”
