Fiery clashes erupted during an anti-government demonstration in Greece, as protesters took to the streets against the government's handling of the Tempi train disaster Friday night (07.03). The protest turned violent when riot police confronted demonstrators, leading to intense street battles with firebombs and tear gas in residential areas.

Hooded groups later set up flaming barricades, torching dozens of dumpsters across central Thessaloniki, turning the city into a scene of unrest. As the clashes unfolded, hundreds of young protesters and students found themselves encircled by riot police.

In a powerful moment, they sat on the ground with their hands raised, staging a peaceful sit-in as a plea against police violence.

The protest reflects ongoing anger over what many see as a cover-up of the tragedy and a broader crisis of trust in Greece’s leadership.
