On May 6, the third day of the European Social Forum in Athens, more than 100,000 people demonstrated against neoliberalism and the possible war on Iran. Many different left groups from across Europe participated in the ESF, the largest contingent from Turkey. Slogans raised at the rally included “No to racism”, “Socialism — the only way out” and “US hands off Iran”. An anarchist grouping of around 50 people went through the city smashing shop windows and burning a Citibank office.
