Protests turn violent as Greece’s government battles censure motion over deadly train crash

The Greek Parliament established a preliminary inquiry committee to investigate possible cover-up related to the 2023 train crash that killed 57 people, following nationwide protests demanding accountability.
On February 28, 2025, mass protests occurred across Greece, marking the second anniversary of the crash and expressing public dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the incident.
A recent poll shows that over 80 percent of Greeks doubt the government's commitment to fully investigate the tragedy and do not trust the justice system.
Opposition parties submitted a no-confidence vote against the government, prompted by its alleged mishandling of the investigation.
