Over 500 anti-fascists rallied outside London’s Greek embassy today, Saturday. The protest was in solidarity with a demonstration in Athens against Greece’s Nazi party Golden Dawn.
Unite Against Fascism (UAF) called the rally. Speakers included Labour MPs Jeremy Corbyn and David Lammy, London Assembly member Andrew Dismore, and veteran campaigner Tony Benn.
Tony Benn said, “Greece’s mass unemployment and poverty has made people desperate. That’s when the hard right emerges.” Author and Labour Party member Owen Jones agreed, linking the growth of Golden Dawn to the savage imposition of austerity in Greece.
