Nationwide Strike Called In Greece To Mark Second Anniversary of Tempe Rail Disaster

Drone view of people as part of a general strike called by unions to mark the second anniversary of the country's worst rail tragedy on February 28, 2025 in Athens, Greece. A nationwide strike has been called by unions in Greece, including air traffic controllers, to demand justice for victims of the Tempe rail disaster. Two years ago on February 28, 2023, a passenger train collided head-on with a freight train at Tempe in northern Greece, killing 57 people. Citizens and union members are participating in the strike to demonstrate public anger over the handling of the disaster, as well as delays to the inquiry into the causes of the crash.
