The riot police clashed with the demonstrators in Athens, after thousands of people gathered to demand justice to victims of the worst railway disaster in Greece, which killed 57 people.
In 2023, a passenger service carrying 350 people collided with a shipping train near the Greek village of Timby, causing fire to the front vehicles.
“I do not have oxygen” is the main logo of the protests – indicating that many have died not because of the collision itself, but because of the fire caused by the banned chemicals in the shipping train.
The accident led to a large -scale condemnation of the Greek railway safety standards, as well as the state's dealings with the subsequent investigation.
A video clip shows the police launching tear gas, while the demonstrators threw sticks and other things at the officers.
