Must watch!!!! Hundreds of protesters attended a solidarity rally and photo exhibition titled This is how Fascism is beaten in Athens, Sunday, highlighting the effects of reported fascism in both Ukraine and Greece. Organised by Solidarity Campaign with the Antifascist struggle in Ukraine, participants presented images from the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Protesters wore the St Georges Ribbon and also had huge banners of the ribbon with anti-fascist slogans written upon them. Leader of the organising group Kostas Gousis spoke at the rally, along with Anna Borisovna Boubouridis, an elderly Red Army veteran. Some 41 years to the day, attendees of the rally also commemorated the 24 civilians killed the Polytechnic University of Athens in 1973, under the orders of the Greek military junta, in power from 1967 to 1974. After laying a flower at the memorial for the tragedy, Boubouridis gave a speech hitting out against the rising tide of fascism in Greece and Ukraine.
