Thousands of young men and women from every corner of Greece flooded Kato Alissos from July 2 to July 6, taking part in the most massive camp of recent years, under the slogan:
“With the peoples until freedom — Against the system of injustice and wars!”
Through political discussions, events, a variety of activities, and mass mobilisations at the US-NATO military bases of Araxos and Andravida, the youth sent a resounding message condemning the imperialist war and our country’s deep involvement in the dangerous plans of the USA, NATO, and the EU.
At the same time, the voice of internationalist solidarity was raised for the Palestinian people and all peoples facing the consequences of rivalries, wars, and exploitation. A special moment of the camp was the welcome of Ramzi Salem, representative of the Youth of the People’s Party of Palestine, with the slogan:
“History has a just side: With Palestine until freedom!”
The highlight of the camp was the large political rally in Patras, featuring a greetings message by Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE, and a speech by Thodoris Kotsantis, Secretary of the Central Council of KNE. Thousands of young people were present with a spirit of militancy, turning the city center into a vibrant red river.
The campsite came to life through the collective and selfless efforts of hundreds of members of the KKE and KNE, transforming it into a vibrant meeting point of struggle, culture, and youth creativity. Concerts, festivities, sports and cultural activities harmoniously complemented the operation of the Synchroni Epochi bookstore, where many campers engaged with important publications, read, discussed, and reflected on today’s pressing questions and the needs of the struggle. A special presence was given by the hundreds of young campers who participated in the 13th Children's Camp, filling the place with children's voices, play and liveliness.
The 34th Anti-Imperialist Camp of KNE sent a message of hope and determination:
The new generation does not compromise with the system of injustice and wars — it fights for a world free of exploitation, oppression, and poverty.
