Three Years After Tempi Tragedy: Memorial Events Across Greece

Three years have passed since the Tempi tragedy, and memorial events are planned across Greece in remembrance of the 57 victims. The central event will take place in Syntagma Square, Athens, featuring speeches from families of the victims, representatives of labor unions, and students. It remains uncertain whether Maria Karystianou will speak, though she has issued a call for participation. Parallel events will be held in Thessaloniki, including a gathering at the Venizelos Statue and a march through the historic center. Pavlos Aslanidis, President of the Victims' Families Association, calls for a peaceful rally and warns against attempts to exploit the tragedy for political gain.
