The disorder police ran out of protesters in Athens after thousands of people gathered to ask for justice for the victims of the worst railway crash in Greece, which killed 57 people.
In 2023, a passenger service carrying 350 people collided with a freight train near the Greek village of Tempi, causing the front wagons to explode into flames.
“I don’t have oxygen” is the main slogan of the protests – referring to the finding that many have died not by the collision itself, but by the fire caused by prohibited chemicals on the load train.
The crash caused a broad condemnation of the safety standards of Greek railways, as well as the actions of the state on the subsequent investigation.
Video shows how police use tear gas while demonstrators throw sticks and other objects to the police.
