Violent Clashes at Festival in Pyrgos, Greece Leave Multiple Injured

During the early hours of Sunday, a traditional festival in the town of Pyrgos, Ilia, turned violent as two separate brawls erupted in the same venue. The first confrontation involved two large groups whose dispute quickly escalated, resulting in minor injuries that required treatment at the local hospital.

A second, more intense fight broke out shortly afterward between individuals with prior family ties, leading to more serious wounds and widespread panic among attendees. Police forces arrived in force, detained all participants, and later released them after statements were taken, with no charges filed.

The incidents prompted a swift police response and highlighted concerns about public safety at local celebrations.
