Activists affiliated with the Communist Party of Greece plan to protest in Thessaloniki and Larissa during the evening of March 13.

Participants will gather on Agia Sofia Street in Thessaloniki from 19:00 and at the Central Square in Larissa from 20:00. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration sites. Clashes between protesters and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
