Greece and Cyprus Mark 3 Years Since Deadly Train Crash

Commemorations and labor strikes are taking place today in Greece and Cyprus to mark the third anniversary of the tragic train crash in Tempi, which claimed the lives of 57 people. Rallies and strikes were organized in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, and Larissa, while a protest event was held in Nicosia, Cyprus. Additionally, the Panhellenic Seamen's Federation announced a 24-hour strike for ships, and train services will be suspended due to a workers' strike. The government has implemented emergency traffic regulations in Athens and warned of changes to public transport. The Tempi tragedy remains an open wound, and the demand for justice remains strong.
