Thousands gathered in Athens on Sunday to denounce conditions that led to the country's deadliest train crash in living memory.
Crash that killed at least 57 has triggered outpouring of anger over rail cost-cuttingPeople gather during a protest at Syntagma Square in Athens on Sunday to denounce conditions that led to the country's worst recorded rail accident last month. The banner reads 'It wasn't human error.'A small group of protesters hurled gasoline bombs at police, who responded with tear gas and hand grenades, before dispersing to nearby streets.
Protesters shout at police firing tear gas while holding a banner reading 'Murderers' during Sunday's demonstration in Athens. Protesters clash with police firing tear gas during a demonstration in Athens on Sunday, held in response to a deadly train accident late on Feb. 28 near the city of Larissa, Greece.Railway workers, who also lost colleagues in the accident, have staged rotating walkouts since Wednesday to denounce cost-cutting and under-investment in the rail infrastructure, a legacy of Greece's debilitating debt crisis from 2010 to 2018.
Railway workers' unions say safety systems throughout the rail network have been deficient for years as a remote surveillance and signalling system has not been delivered on time. They have called on the government to provide a timetable for the implementation of safety protocols.
