Violent protests in Athens on rail crash anniversary
Feb. 28, 2025 – Sydagma, parliament square, Athens, Greece: Maria Karystianou, a mother who tragically lost her 20-year-old daughter in the Tempi railway disaster, which claimed the lives of 57 people, has become a tragic heroine, uniting the people of Greece under a simple cause: justice. Hundreds of thousands of Greeks went on strike and took to the streets in nationwide demonstrations, marking the second anniversary of the country's deadliest train crash. Fifty-seven people were killed when a passenger train carrying students collided with a freight train on February 28, 2023, in central Greece. The tragedy has come to symbolize the long-standing neglect of the country’s infrastructure, both in the decades leading up to the crash and in the two years that have followed. In one of the largest protests in Greece in years, public services and many private businesses came to a standstill as people flooded the streets of cities and towns, chanting "murderers" in protest against what they believe is the state's role in the disaster. Karystianou addressed 'the murderers of our children,' saying: 'You insulted and treated the dead with contempt. You committed the greatest sacrilege and you will receive what is due from the pulse of Nemesis. It is the souls of our children who guide us. The river of truth has no turning back. Justice will come. With it, it will bring infinite oxygen. Love conquers all. The government, however, denies any wrongdoing. A sea of people gathered in Athens' Syntagma Square, in front of parliament, where protesters spray-painted the names of the deceased in red on the ground. The slogan "I have no oxygen" – the last words of a woman in a call to emergency services – echoed in chants across the country. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' center-right government, which won re-election after the crash in 2023, has faced ongoing criticism from the victims' families for failing to launch a parliamentary inquiry into political responsibility
