Protesters launched gasoline bombs and fireworks in clashes with police outside Greece's parliament late Wednesday, in renewed nationwide protests calling for politicians to be held accountable for a 2023 rail disaster that claimed 57 lives.

Clashes broke out in Athens on Wednesday between Greek police and demonstrators protesting over a 2023 train crash that killed 57 people, most of them students, in the country's worst rail disaster.

The protest, organize​​​​​​​d by the Youth Branch of the Greek Communist Party (KNE), took place in front of Parliament, where demonstrators chanted slogans calling for accountability and the punishment of those responsible, accusing the government of negligence and failing to implement safety measures that could have prevented the disaster.
