A huge protest in Athens on Friday to mark the second anniversary of Greece’s worst train tragedy saw clashes between firebomb-wielding youths and police who fired tear gas, TV footage showed.

The youths began throwing stones and firebombs at police guarding parliament as nearly 200,000 people gathered in the city centre in memory of the 57 people, mostly students, who died on February 28, 2023 when a train from Athens to Thessaloniki collided with a freight train.
