Greece: Massive protests over train disaster could crash the government

Two years after Greece’s deadliest train crash, the country is at a standstill. Today marks the anniversary of the Tempe rail disaster that killed 57 people. Despite repeated EU warnings about safety risks, Greece’s railway system remained dangerously outdated. Now, with no trial and growing suspicions of a government cover-up, public outrage is boiling over.

So, today Greeks are taking to the streets in 350 cities worldwide, expressing their deep distrust in the government, as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis faces his biggest political test yet.
