Photographer's Note
With a symbolic action on 4 May 2010 KKE sends to the peoples of Europe a message of resistance and counterattack against the anti-labour measures taken in Greece and in other countries under the pretext of the exit from the capitalist crisis.
Tens of members of KKE proceeded early in the morning of 4 May in a symbolic occupation of the Acropolis rock. With red flags and two enormous banners bearing the slogan “Peoples of Europe rise up” written in Greek and in English they called for the further development of the class struggle just a few hours after the great demonstrations for the May Day organised by the All Workers’ Militant Front (PAME) in 75 cities throughout Greece and just before the 24hour nationwide strike on 5th May against the anti-peoples and anti-workers measures promoted by the social-democrat government of PASOK, the EU and the IMF. At the same time, the civil servants went on strike on May 4.

Hi Trifona,
Very topical documentary photo and a good note. The sky is overexposed, you could try to rebalance this with PS.
now, about "people" vs "peoples":
Dear Agni,
the banner is correct. There is a slight difference in definition between people and peoples. See the definitions below:
1. peo·ple (pē′pəl)
a group of persons with common traditional, historical, or cultural ties, as distinct from racial or political unity: the Jewish people
2. peoples -·ples (pl.)
all the persons of a racial, national, religious, or linguistic group; nation, race, etc.: the peoples of the world
best regards,
Eleni
