The Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, pledged to upgrade the country’s railways following massive protests sparked by the 2023 train crash that killed 57 people. As his government faces a looming no-confidence vote, Mitsotakis admitted previous efforts to improve the transport system were insufficient. The protests, marking the tragic incident's second anniversary, highlighted public demand for accountability, safety, and modern infrastructure. He emphasized that immediate changes would begin on the Athens-Thessaloniki line, acknowledging a significant challenge to his leadership since taking office in July 2019, amid falling public confidence.
In the wake of the tragic train crash, Mitsotakis acknowledges the urgent need for modernizing railway infrastructure and prioritizing public safety.
Mitsotakis stated the citizens have called for a state that ensures justice for victims and safe public transport, reflecting widespread discontent.
