The Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis faces a no-confidence vote this week in response to public outrage over a devastating railway accident that claimed 57 lives. Protests erupted in Athens with demonstrators clashing violently with police, reflecting widespread demands for accountability from the government for the systemic failures leading to the disaster. Despite the motion presented by opposition parties, Mitsotakis' government is not expected to fall due to its parliamentary majority. Relatives of victims have fueled ongoing demonstrations, exposing the anger towards the lack of accountability among top officials.
"Why do you remain so unrepentant, continuing down this road of insults and arrogance?" Androulakis asked lawmakers, challenging the government to accept responsibility for the tragedy.
The violence outside Greece's parliament erupted hours after opposition parties challenged Prime Minister Mitsotakis' government with a no-confidence motion.
Days earlier, a general strike and much larger protests, some of them violent, marked the second anniversary of the nation's deadliest train crash.
Victims' relatives have called for mass protests, demanding accountability from politicians for the failures that led to the collision that killed 57.
