Highway and sea transport have come to a standstill due to widespread labor strikes nationwide, as tens of thousands gather in central Athens and beyond in memory of the tragic train collision on the Tempe gorge’s second anniversary. This disaster, now emblematic of governmental shortcomings, continues to stir public unrest and calls for accountability from Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Public services, including trains, air travel, and ferries, faced cancellation due to the solidarity strikes by essential workers. Employees from sectors such as education, healthcare, and law have joined forces in a 24-hour workforce shutdown, reflecting the depth of citizen dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
