Thousands of people participated in a mass rally, worthy of the historical 80th anniversary of the liberation of Athens from the Nazi occupiers, organized by the KKE on 12 October 2024.

With their presence in the places that were shaken during the liberation, workers, breadwinners, self-employed, women and young people participating in the rally, picked up the thread of history, sending a resounding and timely message that the people, holding their own flag high, can provide a way out of this system of wars and crises. The rally was at the same time a huge red demonstration against the imperialist war and our country's involvement in the criminal plans of the USA - EU - NATO and the murderous state of Israel.

Addressing the event, D. Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the CC of the KKE, referred both to the current developments and to the lessons that the KKE draws from its history and noted, among other things, that "the struggle of the working-class and popular forces must go all the way to the end, to the overthrow of this power that is responsible for the imperialist wars, to the revolutionary conquest of workers' power and the construction of socialism – communism".

The speech was followed by a musical tribute to the struggles of the people. The event closed with the International.
