GREEK workers and peace activists staged a mass anti-war rally as the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle arrived in the port of Piraeus in Athens today.
The protest, backed by the Greek Committee for International Detente and Peace and the the Panhellenic Union of Merchant Marine Engineers, was organised under the slogan “No war — imperialist ships are not welcome in Piraeus.”
Organisers described Piraeus as “a port of the peoples and not of the war and the imperialists.”
Faced with crises in every direction, Volodymr Zelensky is rewriting his country’s complex history by paying homage to the founding fathers of Ukrainian ultra-nationalism and courting their modern heirs, writes KENNY COYLE
Andy Burnham offers unconditional support for Zelensky but no solutions to the underlying conflict between the Nato/EU bloc and Russia, says NICK WRIGHT
Western nations’ increasingly aggressive stance is not prompted by any increase in security threats against these countries — rather, it is caused by a desire to bring about regime changes against governments that pose a threat to the hegemony of imperialism, writes PRABHAT PATNAIK
