- Description:On the anniversary of Greece's deadliest rail disaster, tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in cities like Athens and Thessaloniki to commemorate the victims and express their discontent over what they perceive as a systematic effort to obscure the circumstances of the tragedy. The deadly head-on collision between a freight and passenger train in Tempe, central Greece, on February 28, 2023, claimed the lives of 57 people, many of them university students returning home after a long weekend. In Thessaloniki, however, a protest attempting to write the names of the victims was dispersed by the police, as captured in a video shared by @ntinatsakalou on February 28, 2024. The footage depicted people dispersing from the protest, prevented from commemorating the tragic event, leading to heightened frustration.
