UPDATE: Unity Militant Movement (PAME) announcement:

"On the 27 of February 2015, two of the vice-directors of the Periphery of Attica, specifically of Piraeus and islands, welcomed to Pireaus 8 NATO warships and wished their directors luck!!! 

After the "agreement with the partners" by the SYRIZA-ANEL government on the new Memorandum, after the welcoming of COSCO by Tsipras, now we have 'welcome' to the NATO ships. 

The hawks of war, the butchers of peoples, are recognized by the Periphery Directors of SYRIZA as friends and allies!!! 

Enough with the "left" of NATO and the EU. As if this is a "left"!!!!
