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.
