Subject: Greece: new anti-NATO demonstrations and concerts

And the rage became a song and the anger a massive slogan...

 *Thousands of people gathered in the centre of Athens yesterday 8/2 to demand the dissolution of NATO, to kick out NATO's bases and its nuclear weapons from the region, to demand the return of the Greek soldiers from Yugoslavia and the return of the Greek students in Yugoslavia.

�Murderers of the people, Americans!� was one of the slogans shouted by young people, by workers from different working places, from mothers and their children.

The protest was organized by the Labour Centre of Athens and various other massive organizations which supported it. After the different speeches made by members of the peace movement, the Labour Centre of Athens, there was a concert made by different famous singers. (photo attached)
