On Saturday, April 25th 2009, Peliti is organizing the 9th Pan-Hellenic Festival for the exchange of local seed varieties, hosted by the Timios Prodromos monastery near the village of Anatoli on Mt. Kissavos in the province of Larissa.
On 24.08.2008, in the greek city of Alexandropolis, there has been a demonstration against the planned oil pipe-line Burgas-Alexandropolis and the gold-mine construction project. The main organizers were the autonomous groups “AnarchistResistance” (Sofia), Utopia A.D. (Komotini), as well as some activists from Turkish collectives.
The demonstration was organized here, despite the fact that none of the collectives is from the city, for the following reasons.
Last weekend, February 2-3 the annual International Greek Biotech Conference
took place in Athens organized by Bionova Ltd., the representative of
EuropaBio (European Biotech corporations Lobby) in Greece.

Synthetic biotechnology is genetic engineering done with computer programs that
guess at what the molecular code should do and then writes a codeplan. DNA is then
synthesized artificially to match the codeplan. It is very possibly dangerous and
