The clashes broke out as protesters and police faced off, with demonstrators hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails at law enforcement officers. The violent confrontations resulted in injuries on both sides, with reports of protesters being arrested and taken into police custody.
The anniversary march, which is held annually, has been a symbol of remembrance for a significant event in Greek history. However, this year’s demonstration was marred by the outbreak of violence and clashes between protesters and police.
The Greek government has condemned the violence and called for peace and respect for the democratic process. Despite the incidents of violence, the march continued as scheduled, with participants expressing their grievances and demands for change.
The clashes between protesters and police highlight the ongoing tensions and discontent within Greek society, as citizens continue to grapple with economic challenges and political instability.
