Thousands across Greece took to the streets once again to demand justice for the victims of the Tempi train disaster. Protests erupted in cities like Thessaloniki, Athens, and Chania, with demonstrators calling for accountability and condemning the government’s handling of the tragedy. In Athens, clashes broke out near Syntagma Square, while tributes were paid with lanterns and moments of silence in other cities. As the debate over a motion of no confidence continues in Parliament, public outrage shows no signs of fading.
Greek political leaders are set to debate the tragic Tempi train accident in Parliament today, with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis opening the session. The debate follows a request from SYRIZA and KKE, and PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis is expected to introduce a motion of censure against the government based on recent findings from the National Organization for Investigating Air and Rail Accidents. The motion requires 50 MP signatures, with PASOK currently holding 32. The debate will culminate in a vote, potentially reshaping the political landscape in Greece.
