Greece Faces Social Unrest After Deadly Train Crash Protest
Protesters in Greece are taking to the streets once again, this time over a 2023 train crash that killed 57 people, most of them students. Tensions between demonstrators and police have escalated into violent clashes, with riot police using force to disperse crowds. The government's handling of the crisis is under scrutiny, with opposition parties calling for a censure motion against the centre-right administration.
- The fact that protests are still unfolding nearly two years after the disaster highlights the deep-seated dissatisfaction among Greeks with their government.
- Will addressing the root causes of this unrest – including corruption and inadequate public transportation infrastructure – require significant reforms to Greece's social and economic systems?
