Thousands of demonstrators demonstrated through the streets of Greece on Friday, in a torrent of anger marking the second anniversary of the country’s devastating rail disaster. Protestors clashed with riot police in Athens, demanding justice over tragic train crash which left 57 dead. Riot police used tear gas, stun grenades and water cannons to push back crowds throwing gasoline bombs and stones.
Protests, which are part of a nationwide general strike, brought traffic services, including proposition, rail and ferry to a grinding halt. Government offices and businesses closed in solidarity to strike for justice, as labour unions demanded years of railway safety neglect to be brought out.
“两年后，我们还是一无所知,”说的是市政府职员Por Costas Reintzopoulos. “We are not just crying over the dead; we are fighting against another tragedy.” 
Tensions boomed near the Greek Parliament, police detained more than 120 protesters, 27 arrested. Con meanwhile, in the city of Thessaloniki, hoods demonstrators clashed with police, fuelling fears of more weeks of unrest. Families of the victims appealed for calm demonstrations, but emotions flared as outrage at government inaction spilled over.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis accepted the public outcry, promising more train safety reforms. A somente com apostos da oposición ganando fuerça, sua administração está recebendo amplos frote político.
As Greece mourns, the cry for justice becomes more urgent, that the wounds of Tempe are not allowed to heal and are always made to remember.
