Clashes broke out in Athens as demonstrators protested outside parliament ahead of a no-confidence vote against the government over a 2023 train collision that killed 57 people.
Demonstrators and police clashed in Athens as protests erupted outside the Greek parliament ahead of a no-confidence vote over a deadly train collision in 2023.
Thousands of protesters have rallied since the tragedy, in which two trains collided head-on, killing 57 people—most of them students.
The demonstrators are demanding political accountability and greater transparency regarding what happened on the night of the crash. They are also calling for a swifter conclusion to the investigation.
Opposition lawmakers have submitted a censure motion against Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' government, accusing it of shirking responsibility for the crash, failing to address critical safety gaps, and covering up evidence.
The government has denied any wrongdoing.
With 156 seats in the 300-seat parliament, the government is expected to survive the motion.
