50th Anniversary of 1973 Greek Student Uprising Commemorated with Massive March

Over 25,000 Greeks marched towards the U.S. Embassy in Athens, protesting against past and present government policies.

Over 25,000 Greeks marched through Athens to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1973 student uprising against the military dictatorship.
The march often becomes a focal point for protests against government policies and ongoing conflicts.
The march was guarded by hundreds of police and was directed towards the U.S. Embassy, which is seen as having provided tacit support to the military dictatorship.
Many demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and banners reading 'Resistance for ever!', with groups later marching to the Israeli embassy.
There was tension between police and protesters, particularly in a similar march in the northern city of Thessaloniki.
