Two years ago the deadliest train crash in Greek history happened. 57 people died after a passenger train collided with a cargo train. The crash occurred at Tempi, a rural area in between Athens and Thessaloniki. Most of the victims were young students traveling after a weekend back to their university in Thessaloniki.

On Feb. 28, 2025, more than a million people protested across the country and hundreds of thousands flooded the streets of Athens, in the largest post-war protest the country has seen. In between volleys of molotov cocktails and tear gas smoke, Unicorn Riot heard from several participants.
