Greek politics feels aftershock from Tempe train crash
Episode 8
Thursday, 13 March, 2025
Two years after Greece's deadliest rail disaster, the political fallout is escalating rather than abating.The largest protests Greece has seen in decades were held on February 28 to mark the two-year anniversary of the crash, in which 57 people died when a passenger train collided with a freight train in Tempe, central Greece.The growing public outcry over how the aftermath of the crash has been handled, as well as the shocking circumstances of the accident itself, has put Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his government under intense pressure.Mitsotakis survived a confidence vote in parliament on March 7, but the Tempe issue is likely to haunt his government for the rest of its second term.MacroPolis co-founder Yiannis Mouzakis and features editor Georgia Nakou joined The Agora to discuss the political implications of the latest developments.Useful readingTempe Accident Investigation Report - EODASAAMTwo years later, outrage over Tempe disaster hits a tipping point - Kathimerini Hosted on Acast.
