Thousands demonstrate in solidarity with victims of Greece’s train tragedyAFP, ATHENSThousands of people across Greece yesterday demonstrated in solidarity with victims of the country’s worst train tragedy, which claimed 57 lives in 2023 and rattled the government of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. A woman lays a flower next to banners with portraits of victims of the Tempi railway collision at the crash site, in Tempi, Greece, yesterday.

However, anger continues to simmer, increasing support for smaller opposition parties, including one headed by a leading lawyer for the accident victims. Nearly 40 people are to go on trial on March 23, including railway executives and the station master on duty that night.
