Time.news – The Greek premier, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has asked for forgiveness from the families of the victims of the train crash, which caused 57 victims in Greece. “As prime minister, I ask everyone, but especially the relatives of the victims, for forgiveness,” he wrote in a message to the country posted on his Facebook account.
“In 2023 Greece, it’s not possible for two trains to travel in opposite directions on the same line and nobody notices.” “We cannot, we do not want to and we must not hide behind human error”, an error that has been attributed to the station master.
This morning in Thessaloniki, the second largest city in the country where many victims lived, many students, Molotov cocktails were once again thrown at a platoon of riot police. The station master of Larissa – the town closest to the scene of the accident, which involved a train linking Athens to Thessaloniki, and a convoy of goods – has admitted his responsibility: described by the press as inexperienced and in office for a few weeks, the man, who is 59 years old, will be heard today by the judges who could accuse him of “manslaughter”.
