Thousands protest in Athens over 2023 train tragedy

Athens, Jan 27 (UNI) Approximately 30,000 people gathered outside the Greek parliament on Sunday, demanding justice for the 2023 train collision in Tempi, central Greece, which claimed 57 lives.
The demonstration, organised by an association of victims' families, was supported by opposition parties and labour unions.
The families accused the government of mishandling the investigation, alleging a "cover-up" of key details. There were claims that victims died from asphyxiation caused by an explosion rather than injuries from the collision, suggesting the explosion may have been triggered by flammable materials allegedly carried illegally on the freight train involved in the accident.
