Aleka Papariga, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), delivered a speech at an event in Volos discussing the dangers of imperialist wars and the need for unity among the people. She emphasized that the fear of a third world war is being used to suppress popular demands and called for the people not to legitimize imperialist wars. Papariga argued against increasing military spending and highlighted the push for active mobilization of popular forces in times of crisis, asserting that capitalism inherently leads to war.
