Protesters have clashed with police in Athens, as hundreds of thousands of people rally across Greece to demand justice on the second anniversary of the country's deadliest-ever train crash, and striking workers brought air, sea and rail transport to a halt.Fifty-seven people were killed when a passenger train filled with students collided head on with a freight train on February 28, 2023, near the Tempi gorge in central Greece.
Two years later, the safety gaps that caused the crash have not been filled, an inquiry found on Thursday. A separate judicial investigation remains unfinished and no one has been convicted in the accident, fuelling popular anger.
Demonstrations were held in cities and towns across Greece in one of the biggest protests in the country in years.
In Athens, the protest turned violent when a group of hooded youths hurled petrol bombs at police and tried to storm the barricades in front of parliament. Booms of tear gas volleys fired by riot police rang out across the centre.
