Our protest marches include not only anti-vaccination activists, but also food and tourism entrepreneurs, clergy, citizens disaffected by the overall government leadership over the pandemic, and vaccinated citizens who view recent government measures as anti-democratic.

Back last year, Greek cardiologist Faidon Vovolis said that COVID-19 is less dangerous than the common cold, and that the WHO has erroneously declared the disease a pandemic. He also stated that the use of a mask can cause serious respiratory problems due to reduced oxygen consumption and the inhalation of carbon dioxide from the air we exhale, which is trapped in the space between the mouth and the mask.
Vovolis in Greece had hundreds of thousands of supporters who piously believed in the veracity of his words and themselves, in turn, believe that the coronavirus is a fake, and vaccination is harm.
After the advent of the vaccine, Vovolis formed an anti-vaccination group that quickly gained popularity among vaccine opponents.

Similar protest rallies are held in the cities of Volos, Thessaloniki, Patra, etc.
This is the third, nationwide protest, which was attended by at least 5,000 people throughout Greece. Previous demonstration on July 21, ended violent crackdown by the authorities…
Journalists believe that the reason was the overly active participation in the actions of supporters of the banned party of Chrisi Avgi.
