Vehicular traffic has been restored in the center of Athens as the PAME solidarity rally for Palestine ended.
Initially the demonstrators gathered in Syntagma Square where a solidarity concert for Palestine was held and then a protest march followed towards the Israeli embassy in Paleo Psychiko.
With the dominant slogans “In Gaza the heart of the world beats, with Palestine as freedom”, “Freedom in Palestine” and “No participation, no involvement, NATO and the Americans out”, took place at noon on Sunday, November 5 , a great march of solidarity to the people of Palestine from the Constitution to the Israeli embassy.
Earlier, a rally-concert of the unions and mass organizations of Attica was held at Syntagma with the participation of thousands of people.
The Palestinian ambassador addressed the rally, Youssef Dorhom while the speaker from the Food and Tourism Union of Attica was Giorgos Stefanakis.
A message was read at the rally by Mohammed Amanadi, Commissioner of Popular Organizations and Trade Unions in Palestine.
A special moment of the rally was when two young children, wearing Palestinian headscarves, speaking in Arabic and Greek, described the life of children in Gaza under the Israeli occupation, while they also spoke of their hopes saying:
“We hope to have a homeland in which we will live in peace, go to schools, playgrounds, family and school trips, paint under a tree a clear sky and a bright sun, a country where we will live safely and without fear».
The rally at the Syntagma began with the anthem of Palestine composed by Mikis Theodorakis in 1981 at the request of the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Yasser Arafat, during his visit to Greece at the time, while the musical composition by M. Theodorakis was later approved by the Palestinian Parliament, to be the official anthem of the Palestinian State when its official establishment is achieved.
The concert at Syntagma was attended by: “Romiosyni”, “Yperastiki”, Dionysis Tsaknis, “Kollektiva”, “Magic De Spell”, “Common Mortals”, Rita Antonopoulou and “Revans”.
