New Left for Tempi: "Sooner or later, those responsible will be called to account"
Members of the New Left held a symbolic protest in front of the Monument of the Unknown Soldier demanding justice for the victims of the Tempi crime.
Members of the New Left party in Greece organized a symbolic action in front of the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, where they honored the 57 people who lost their lives in the Tempi tragedy by displaying a banner that read, 'The wound of Tempi is still open - Justice Now.' This act aimed to emphasize that the victims are not just numbers but real lives lost in an avoidable disaster.
The New Left party criticized the official narrative that labels the Tempi incident as a mere 'human error,' arguing instead that it was a consequence of longstanding neglect of public infrastructure. They highlight that the ongoing efforts to deflect and cover up the responsibilities surrounding the incident have only compounded the need for accountability. Their statement urges the public to recognize the systemic issues that led to such tragedies, framing it as a matter of justice for all affected families.
By announcing their plans to gather again at Syntagma Square to demand justice for the victims, the New Left stresses the determination to hold those responsible accountable. They insist that the pressure is now on the authorities, asserting that 'the time for the truth is now' as they rally support for transparent investigations and solutions to prevent future occurrences of such disasters.
