 Dozens of people protested before the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Athens, Greece, against US and Greek NATO bases in the country. Their key demand was that Greece should not be involved in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis. They also demanded that no facilities should be provided to imperial powers and that the US NATO bases be closed immediately. The protest was organized by the Committee for the Struggle Against the Greek-American Base Agreement, along with trade unions and student organizations. The protesters chanted, no participation, no involvement, NATO members outside Greece. They also unfurled a banner that read, no involvement of Greece in the war, no facilities for the imperialists, let the US NATO bases be closed now. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused entry to a delegation of the committee seeking to deliver the resolution of the mobilization. Members of the committee denounced the act and said that the door of the ministry is close to workers' unions and organizations and wide open for large monopoly groups. The mobilization was attended by Kostas Papadakis, a member of the KKE Central Committee and a member of the European Parliament. The protesters have called for another round of mobilizations when the government brings the new Greek-American Base Agreement to Parliament for ratification. In 2019, Greece and the US had signed an updated Defense Cooperation Agreement to reform the Mutual Defense Cooperation Agreement of 1990. The agreement for the bases was formulated in accordance with the current US NATO strategic outlook in the region. The agreement envisages the accreditation of the Souda Base in Greece and its integration into the existing circuit of bases. Anti-imperialist sections in Greece, such as the Communist Party of Greece, all workers militant front, Hellenic Committee for International Recession and Peace had denounced the agreement and organized massive rallies against it across the country. Greek-Rite police violently attacked the demonstrations by hurling tear gas canisters and sound grenades at the protesters. Meanwhile, Europe has been witnessing demonstrations calling for peace and an end to NATO's involvement in the Russia-Ukraine escalation. In Italy, youth organizations, including the Communist Youth Front, organized mobilizations demanding peace and against US imperialism.
