Three Years After Tempi Tragedy, Justice Remains Decades Away

Three years have passed since the tragedy in Tempi, where 57 people lost their lives in a train collision. Despite the anniversaries and assurances, justice remains a long way off, with estimates that it will take another 103 years for accountability to be assigned. The families of the victims are experiencing pain and anguish, while also denouncing attempts to cover up the causes of the tragedy. Recently, a digital platform for monitoring the railway network was launched, a system that could have prevented the accident, but came too late. The government is facing criticism for the delay in justice and the lack of transparency.
