[01] March, rally against fascism in Agios Panteleimonas
ANA-MPA -- A march and rally against fascism, from Agios Panteleimonas
Square in the run-down inner Athens district of the same name to the
offices of the far-right Golden Dawn (Chryssi Avgi) party near Larissis
Station started in Athens on Saturday afternoon.
Participating in the march were political and social organisations,
local residents' movements and representatives of immigrant communities.
Prior to the march, organisers had laid on street theatre and musical
events in Agios Panteleimonas Square, while police had closed Acharnon
Avenue and surrounding roads and metro trains were not stopping at
Larissis station. A strong police force remains in the area since a
counter-demonstration by GD supporters has been organised in front of
the party's headquarters at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.
