Aerial photographs reveal the massive turnout at Friday’s demonstration in the Athens center, marking the second anniversary of the Tempe railway disaster that claimed 57 lives.
The protest was the largest in recent years, with several hundred thousand people flooding Syntagma Square and the surrounding streets, demanding justice for the Tempe disaster.
The president of the Tempe Victims’ Association, Maria Karystianou, addressed the massive crowd in an emotional speech, speaking about her late daughter and vowing to fight until justice is served.
“My beloved child, two years have passed since that dark night. My little heart, today we have all gathered here for you. For you, my girl, and for all those who never made it,” she said.
