(ANSA-AFP) - ATHENS, FEB 28 - Workers across Greece were set
to strike on Wednesday to demand answers a year after the
nation's deadliest train crash, which killed 57 people and
injured dozens more. The head-on collision prompted mourning but
also days of angry protests that blamed official failings and an
unsafe rail system for the fiery crash on February 28, 2023. A
definitive account of what happened and who may be at fault has
not been delivered, with investigators in an official enquiry
not due to finish questioning until March 8. "One year on, we
are back on the streets to shout that we do not forget," said
civil servants' union Adedy. "Those responsible for the tragedy
have still not answered for their criminal acts." Greek civil
servants were to stage a 24-hour walkout with other unions,
including air traffic controllers, taxi drivers and public
transport workers, who are also protesting at the high cost of
living. (ANSA-AFP).
