Protests have been scheduled for today and tomorrow in Thessaloniki, coinciding with the opening of the Thessaloniki International Fair. The first demonstration took place this morning, when healthcare workers gathered outside the Hippocrates Hospital.
At 18:00 today, police and security forces are set to rally at the White Tower. Demonstrations will peak tomorrow with three parallel marches.
At 17:30, PAME will gather in ChANTH Square, focusing on labor rights, the cost of living, and what it calls anti-popular policies.
Authorities have deployed 2,500 police officers, drones, and barricades around the Vellideio Convention Center.
At 18:00, GSEE and ADEDY will rally at the Venizelos statue, demanding the reinstatement of collective bargaining agreements and stronger protections for workers. At the same time, groups from the extra-parliamentary left and anarchist/anti-authoritarian movements will march from Kamara Square.
Maria Karystianou, president of the Association of Tempi Victims’ Relatives, has also called for protests tomorrow in Thessaloniki, Athens, and other cities, following the closure of the Tempi train crash case file.
She condemned the decision as “immoral and dishonorable to the memory of the victims,” pointing out that it was closed just hours before families received the official report. Karystianou described the tragedy as “a crime against life, against democracy, against the country,” and urged mobilization “for the memory of the dead,” beyond political divisions.
