In Greece, fresh protests rocked the streets of Athens Sunday as anger mounts over last week’s train crash that killed 57 people. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis apologized for the disaster Sunday, saying in a statement, “We cannot, will not, and must not hide behind human error.” The station master at the Larissa railway station has been detained and awaits trial. Among the 10,000 estimated protesters yesterday were many rail workers.
Vasiliki Svarna: “We feel unspeakable grief over the incident. It is tragic. We cannot soothe the pain of the families who lost their kids, nor can we bring them back. But we are here so that nothing remains in darkness, for everything to be revealed to the bone, for those responsible to pay, those who have left the railway to its fate, all the governments, all these years.”
