On December 6, 2024, a protest in Thessaloniki led to clashes between police and demonstrators, resulting in 112 arrests, including three minors. Participants engaged in violent behavior, throwing objects and attempting to burn a Greek flag. Police intervened to prevent the flag’s destruction and reported the use of Molotov cocktails. The arrests occurred following the dispersal of a group that became aggressive towards law enforcement. Investigations are underway by the local police’s anti-extremism unit.
