On 8 January 2026, thousands of active and retired military personnel, non-commissioned officers and officers alike, along with trade unions, student unions, and women’s associations, held a large rally outside the Greek Parliament to protest a bill proposed by the Ministry of Defence. As many speakers at the rally emphasized, the bill is essentially aimed at supporting the war economy within the framework of the “NATO 2030” agenda.
A delegation of the KKE, led by Dimitris Koutsoumbas, GS of the CC of the KKE, attended the rally and expressed the Party’s solidarity. Speaking to media representatives, D. Koutsoumbas stated: "We support the just struggle of military personnel of all ranks; their demands are entirely just. Their strength lies in the unity of the working people who stand by them in this magnificent struggle. The government’s plans will fail”.
