In the past days, government authoritarianism has escalated by banning this year's anti-imperialist march on the US embassy, which is organized every year on 17/11 to commemorate the anniversary of the uprising of the Polytechnic students and the workers of Athens against the military junta in 1973.

The KKE has denounced the ban, while trade unions and mass organizations have said loud and clear that the anti-imperialist march on Tuesday, November 17 will take place by observing all health protection measures, as it happened on May Day.
