The clashes erupted as nearly 200,000 people demonstrated to demand justice for the 57 victims of the accident, which occurred on February 28, 2023 when a train from Athens to Thessaloniki carrying more than 350 passengers collided with a freight train near the central city of Larissa.

Police said some 300,000 people turned out nationwide in demonstrations described by commentators as unprecedented in size.
