In the aftermath of a tragic explosion at the Viollanta biscuit factory, regional authorities have mandated the temporary closure of the company's second plant due to the absence of fire safety certifications. This incident, which resulted in the loss of five lives, has sparked significant outrage among the public and workers alike. As the owner of the factory faces court proceedings, some employees gathered to show their support, while others voiced their anger, highlighting the dual sentiments of community solidarity and the heartbreak over the fatalities.

The owner, who is now under scrutiny, has been described by workers as more than just an employer, suggesting a sense of personal connection within the workforce. However, the anger directed towards him from the public points to the frustration over workplace safety issues and accountability in the wake of such a tragedy. Witnesses at the scene expressed their outrage at the perceived lack of remorse and responsibility, emphasizing that the tragedy should not have happened in the first place, reiterating the phrase, "How can you not feel ashamed? Five dead women!"

As investigations continue, new videos surfaced documenting the explosion, raising questions about safety protocols and the management of the factory’s operations. With the courtroom appearance of the owner postponed until noon the following day, the incident remains in the spotlight, revealing not only the immediate impact of the tragedy but also the broader implications concerning labor safety standards in Greece and the responsibility of business owners to ensure a safe working environment for their employees.
