"Rising LGBTQ+ Violence in Greece Sparks Outcry and Arrests"

The Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival has condemned the violent attack on two nonbinary individuals by a large crowd in Aristotelous Square, expressing "anger and repugnance" at the incident. The festival, which is currently showcasing a special section called Citizen Queer, dedicated to LGBTQ documentaries, has emphasized its commitment to tolerance, inclusivity, and acceptance. The attack comes amid growing fascist behavior in Greece, despite recent legislative progress such as the approval of same-sex marriage. Thessaloniki is set to host EuroPride in June, and activists are calling for measures to ensure the safety of the LGBTQ community in the city.
