We have gathered in Thessaloniki on November 24, 2012 to protest against the plunder of northern Greece by extractive industry corporations which are taking advantage of the financial crisis to unsustainably exploit our land and resources without our consent. Large-scale gold mining projects which have been bitterly opposed by the local communities for over 15 years, as well as new projects, are now being promoted as the only solution to our financial problems. The plain truth is they will add almost nothing to national coffers, while leaving behind irreversible damages to the environment and communities.
