Greece has come to a standstill as workers strike and thousands protest on the second anniversary of the country's deadliest train crash, which killed 57 people. The disaster, caused by a head-on collision between a passenger train and a freight train in Tempe, exposed serious deficiencies in Greece’s railway infrastructure. Protesters are demanding justice, citing a lack of accountability and government inaction in addressing safety concerns. The strikes have halted air, sea, and train transport, reflecting widespread public outrage. The demonstrations are part of a broader movement calling for improved transportation safety and systemic reforms.
