Greece on fire: national strike paralyzes the country as protests grow

Greece is experiencing one of its most turbulent days in recent years. 

A national strike has paralyzed the country, with hundreds of thousands of protesters taking to the streets in different cities, generating clashes with law enforcement and blockades in key infrastructure.

In Athens and Thessaloniki, protesters have blocked public transport, while key sectors such as education and healthcare have been rendered virtually inoperative.

The government has deployed a strong police presence and called for dialogue, but tensions continue to rise. Fires have been reported in various parts of the capital, with images of barricades and clashes circulating on social media.

As the situation evolves, protests are expected to continue in the coming days, with calls for further mobilisations by unions and civil organisations.
