The mass mobilization that took place in the afternoon of Thursday 25th of February at the Ministry of Defense against NATO's involvement in the Aegean ended with the symbolic blockade of the Ministry's gate and with the slogan "EU and NATO are the syndicate of war, close the bases of death now."

The mass protest was organized by the Greek Committee for International Detente and Peace (EEDYE), while PAME, OGE, EEDDA (Greek Committee for International Democratic Solidarity), OBSA (Athens Federation of Craftsmen)and MAS, issued a call for people to participate. A plethora of organizations of the people's movement, workers, youth and women responded to the call.

A delegation of the CC of the KKE also attended the mobilization, headed by the members of the PB, Giorgos Marinos and Louiza Razou.

A similar mobilization against NATO's involvement in the Aegean was the All-Crete protest at the NATO firing range on the island.

The speaker at the rally was the president of EEDYE and MP of the KKE, Stavros Tassos, who stressed that the "SYRIZA-ANEL government plays the leading role in implementing the very dangerous political line that serves the interests of the monopolies and assimilates our country even more deeply into the war plans of NATO and the EU."

The demonstrators demanded:

NATO out of the Aegean

No participation of Greece in the imperialist interventions

The euro-atlantic military bases in Greece must be closed now."
