Protest In Athens, Greece

The grand rally for Tempi on Sunday, January 26, concluded with a heavy police presence and incidents of forceful intervention, first at Syntagma Square and later at Propylaia, where clashes occurred between demonstrators and law enforcement. The protest was held in response to the train crash in Tempi on February 28, 2023, which resulted in 57 fatalities. The incident, attributed to mismanagement and safety deficiencies in Greece’s railway system, has fueled ongoing public concern over government accountability and transportation safety.
