The 42^nd Marathon Peace March in Attica ended on Sunday, 18 May, in front of the Ministry of Defence with a large rally expressing opposition to the country’s involvement in the USA–NATO–EU imperialist plans and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Elpida Pandelaki, General Secretary of the Greek Committee for International Detente and Peace (EEDYE), stressed in her speech at the rally that: “We are confronting the real opponent of the peoples, the decayed exploitative system, capital and its political servants. We are fighting against the attempt to entrap the people and the youth, the so-called national interest and the so-called national unity, which are identified with the interests and profits of the exploiters and are used to justify the country’s participation in the imperialist wars that put our people in great danger. The forces that fight for the rights and interests of the peoples, to live in peace, in conflict with imperialism, the exploiters and the oppressors are on the right side of history”.

Similar mass mobilizations were carried out by the organizations of the anti-imperialist movement and the Peace Committees in front of the US–NATO military bases in Crete, Thessaly, Western Greece, etc.
