A significant mobilization is scheduled for next Saturday in Larissa, marking the three-year anniversary of the tragic train accident in Tempi. This event aims not only to honor the memory of the victims but also to raise awareness about pressing issues regarding safety in public transport and the rights of workers. The action includes a strike rally at noon in the city’s central square, followed by a large concert in the evening, promoting solidarity and community involvement.

Various organizations, such as the Labor Center of Larissa, the Chamber of Commerce, and local pharmacy and hospitality associations, have joined forces to call upon citizens to participate. During a press conference, representatives emphasized the need for accountability in both political and legal aspects regarding the disaster. Their intention is to foster a collective voice demanding improvements in rail safety policies and to push back against the privatization of transport services that they believe may compromise public safety.

The key demands of the mobilization focus on enhancing train safety measures, particularly in residential areas, and the immediate implementation of projects that aim to underground railway lines along critical routes, such as Athens - Thessaloniki. The event represents a broader movement advocating for a re-evaluation of the current transport policies in Greece, seeking greater governmental responsibility and safety measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
