In Athens, thousands marched to mark the anniversary of Alexandros Grigoropoulos’s 2008 shooting by police, a tragedy that spurred nationwide protests. Despite heavy rain, demonstrators gathered in the Exarcheia district, where the shooting occurred, leading to minor clashes with police. Authorities maintained a strong presence, deploying thousands of officers and using drones and helicopters for monitoring. Public transportation was disrupted as safety measures were implemented throughout the city. The officer involved in Grigoropoulos’s death, initially sentenced to life, was released in 2019 following a sentence reduction.
