Thousands of Greeks rallied in Athens against the impending introduction of biometric ID cards, denouncing what they see as a move towards a surveillance society.
"No to electronic slavery" and "democracy has referendums, fascism decrees," were two common slogans at Sunday's rally which police put at 2,500 strong.
"We don't want our personal data to be used,", said one marcher, Dionysis Alexopoulos. "Perhaps with this new card they'll be able to control our access to hospitals or other public places if for example we aren't vaccinated," he added.
"This serious subject should be put to a referendum and not decided anti-democratically by the government," said another marcher, Sofia Kanelopoulou.
The Greek government announced last week that the procedure for obtaining new identity cards would begin on September 25, noting Greece's obligation to comply with European regulations on "strengthening the security" of ID documents.
All members of the bloc must issue new biometric cards by 2026 in line with a 2019 treaty.
Last Sunday, more than 2,000 people rallied in Thessaloniki, despite assurances from Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis that the new cards had "neither a chip nor a camera".
The head of the Orthodox Church of Greece, Archbishop Ieronymos, last week urged "prudence and wisdom", and said the holy synod, the church's supreme ecclesiastical body, would be pronouncing on this subject.
In 2000, the removal of the mention of religion on Greek identity cards sparked huge in a country whose Orthodox Church is not separated from the state.

(Frankly after hearing this one, I figured out why The Eagles broke up)
I know most people believe the “brought to you by Pfizer” propaganda about how crazy Alex Jones is, but were it not for his screaming at the top of his lungs for the past 30 years about what the global elites had planned for us they would be implementing it without resistance.
Alex Jones was a voice crying in the wilderness, and he was right.
Will the “migrants” be forced to get biometric cards too?
Or is that for white indigenous Europeans?
Kalergi Plan
LET’S SEE OF I UNDERSTAND THIS::::
NATIONS THAT LET IN MILLIONS OF “REFUGEES” FROM WHO KNOWS WHERE & THAT HAVE NO WAY TO VERIFY WHO THEY ARE———
ARE DEMANDING TRUE CITIZENS TO HAVE BIOMETRIC ID CARDS?????
COMPLETELY BACKWARDS
Another ‘political’ band I didn’t much care for..............
If you are not breaking any rules, you should welcome the coming police state. /s
Being the EU’s controlled debt-slave colony, all the craziest political ideas will be beta-tested there.
Well, I didn’t finish it......😳👍
I was thinking Nazis because that’s what a world government would be tracking everyone everywhere
