Protests in Greece

Thousands of people gathered in Larisa near Tempi to commemorate the 57 lives lost in a train accident. The second anniversary of the incident sparked nationwide protests and calls for accountability. In Athens, clashes between a group of 700 protesters and police resulted in injuries. Opposition parties accused the government of covering up the true causes of the crash and announced plans for a vote of no confidence. The high turnout at the protests was fueled by allegations that one of the trains involved was carrying prohibited explosive materials and the government's swift removal of wreckage from the crash site.
