Tension Remains High in Greece as Railway Workers Strike

Railway workers in Greece have initiated another strike in protest against the outdated safety system that has led to dozens of casualties from a recent accident. As of Thursday evening, the death toll from the collision of passenger and freight trains had reached 60.

Members of the railway union insist that safety systems are inadequate, a concern they have repeatedly raised with the government.

Protests have been organized in several cities across Greece, including Athens, where clashes occurred between demonstrators and police officials.

In light of the tragedy, a three-day mourning period has been declared in Greece, and the country's transport minister has resigned.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated in a televised address that the likely cause of the train collision was human error.
