8 Mars feminist march: tear gas and flashbangs deployed by greek police

The Hellenic Police (ELAS) used tear gas and flashbang granades to disperse the 8 March feminist march that was heading towards the Hellenic Train offices.

The march, organised by numerous associations and collectives, started at Klathmonos Square, proceeded towards Syntagma Square, and then made its way to the Hellenic Train offices.

Tens of thousands of women filled the streets of Athens and are now in Syntagma Square, demanding justice for the 57 people who died in the train accident.#8M2025 #Antireport #Athens #τεμπη_εγκλημα #Τεμπη #tempi #8marchinternationalwomensday #8marchwomensday #8μάρτη #Greece pic.twitter.com/32OeGJCnvY

As journalist Christos Avranidis reported on X, “The police violently attacked the feminist march as it reached the Hellenic Train offices.”

Η αστυνομία χτύπησε άγρια την φεμινιστική πορεία όταν έφτανε στα γραφεία της Hellenic Train.
