March against goldmine activity concludes without incident in Thessaloniki
A protest against goldmining in Halkidiki peninsula, northern Greece, ended peacefully in Thessaloniki on Saturday.
Protesters marched from Tsimiski Street and concluded at the White Tower. They briefly stopped at the central Aristotelous Square to form the letters "SOS" with leaves from branches they held during the march, to emphasise their environmental concerns over the goldmine's activity.
The march was organised by the "Committees of Struggle Against the Goldmines" and attended by main ruling coalition party SYRIZA deputies Despina Charalambidou and Tassos Kourakis and Communist Party of Greece deputy Athanassios Vardalis.
