March 5, 2023



(RT) ⸻ Demonstrators in Athens held a rally to commemorate victims of a deadly train crash on Tuesday, blaming the Greek government's cost-cutting policies for the tragedy. At least 57 people lost their lives and scores more sustained injuries when a passenger train with more than 350 on board collided head-on with a freight train near the town of Tempe, close to Greece's eastern coast. The crash was the deadliest of its kind in living memory in that country. Demonstrators released black balloons into the sky, chanting "this crime won't be forgotten!" and waving placards with slogans such as "their policies cost human lives!"
