On the eve of the third anniversary of the tragic train disaster in Tempi, Greece, significant protests and a national strike are set to occur as thousands gather to pay homage to the victims. These events are coordinated by various organizations including the Victims' Relatives Association, unions, student groups, and other collectives. They aim to demand accountability and justice as the country reflects on the ramifications of the tragedy that claimed many lives.

The main gathering in Athens is slated to take place in Syntagma Square, led by students and other activists, starting at noon. Concurrently, memorial services and demonstrations will occur in numerous cities, including Thessaloniki, where participants will gather at the Venizelos statue. These events highlight a collective desire for change, calling for 'justice' and 'oxygen,' indicating a need for reforms in the transportation sector that could prevent future disasters.

As Greece approaches the trial date set for March 23rd, related to the Tempi disaster, the protests not only serve as a remembrance but also as a powerful reminder of the citizens' demands for improvements and accountability from the authorities. The widespread participation across the nation and even internationally reflects the significant impact of this event on the Greek society and public consciousness, revealing the deep-seated frustrations over safety and governance.
