Poster 16M englishDEMONSTRATION 16 March, Omonia 3pm
World day against racism and fascism
Open borders for refugees
Guilty of the Pylos crime in prison
Neo-Nazis in jail for life
Free Palestine
Back the frigate from the Red Sea
On March 16th we rise up all over the Planet to end the horror of mass murders at the borders of Fortress Europe, to end racism, the fascist threat, to stop the massacre in Palestine!
It is time for the river of rage that flowed out on 28 February and through the 8 March strike to take to the streets again on 16 March to punish the racist crimes and mass murders of the government!
The murderers of 57 people, young children in Temp, drowned 600 refugees in Pylos and left 27 refugees to burn alive in Dadia in Evros! No cover-up of the crimes of the Coast Guard and police at the borders.
 The court acquitted the migrants slandered by Mitsotakis as arsonists in Dadia. We demand the acquittal of the 9 shipwrecked refugees of Pylos who are being prosecuted so that the crimes of the Coast Guard, which pushed their boat to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, can be put on their shoulders.  We demand justice, asylum and vindication for the families of the refugees by punishing the Coast Guard.
Open borders is a battle to defend the lives of those persecuted by wars, dictatorships, climate crisis and poverty.
In France, the head of FRONTEX, Leggeri, who brazenly covered up refugee drownings and refoulements, is running for the European elections with Le Pen's fascist party! And this when the EU has prepared the new racist Immigration and Asylum Pact which legitimises the murderous border guards and trashes the right to asylum. The far right can be defeated as Golden Dawn was defeated and crushed, with mass strikes, united anti-fascist action and a confrontation with Islamophobia that turns migrants into scapegoats for the bankrupt policies of governments.  
We do not forget that the same government murderers who build fences and close the borders left them wide open for Croatian Nazis to reach out to find their accomplices and murder Michael Katsouris in New Philadelphia.
A few days later a group of fascists murdered migrant worker Sizar Shaftar in Rizoupoli. The government unsuccessfully attempted to ban antifascist demonstrations against the international fascist occupation in Heraklion on November 1 and allowed fascists to beat up young people at the metro station in Thiseio.
We do not forget that police revolvers killed the Roma Kostas Fragoulis, Christos Michalopoulos and Nikos Sambanis.
While the government is drowning refugees at sea, it proceeds with the Kairidis amendment, a legalization of a few, taking into account the needs of businessmen and not of migrants who demand legalization and equal rights.
At the same time Chrysochoidis is bringing back racist broom operations in the centre of Athens instead of releasing the thousands of migrants detained in prisons just because they don't have papers. The labour movement and youth have every reason to demand legalisation for all without conditions. Poverty, high food prices, high rents are the fault of business profits, not of migrants.
On 16 March we will demonstrate and in the front line will be the survivors of the Pylos shipwreck, the strikers of hospitals, education, municipalities, the students who occupied for two months the universities. It is the movement that is demanding salary increases, jobs for all, money for education and health care, but also open borders, no fences, no armaments for massacres in Gaza. Migrant communities and with them the solidarity movements, Amnesty International. It will be the Palestinian community and the Stop the War Alliance.
We have the power to make March 16 a day of confrontation with the government of the murderers of Pylos who are backing the fascists, to make it a thing of the past!
