Antinazi Zone / Youth Against Racism in Europe (YRE) – Greece is organising its annual international antiracist/antifascist Camp in southern Peloponnese, between July 26 and August 4 included.
Antinazi Zone / YRE is one of the most active antiracist/antifascist organisations in Greece, fighting against the rise of the far right, defending refugee’s and immigrant’s rights and playing a central role in the Antifascist Coordination (made up of many different collectives) that was and still is key to the fight against Golden Dawn in Greece and other neonazi organisations.
YRE’s camps are the longest running anti-racist / anti-fascist camp in Greece, organized every year usually in a different place.
This year it is the 31st camp. It is taking place at Camping Dias, situated on one of the most beautiful beaches of south Peloponnese, on the outskirts of the city of Gythio.

In a period characterized by the rise of the extreme right and neo-Nazis internationally, the Antinazi Zone / YRE camp gives the opportunity to exchange opinions and plan actions for the next period in a climate of camaraderie and solidarity, combining discussions with having a good and relaxing time, live music, film projections, sports, games, one day trips, etc.
Food and drinks are provided on an all-day basis at low prices from the self-managed bar / tavern.
