Chaos and Outcry at the Tempi Train Crash Trial.

The long-awaited trial for the 2023 Tempi train disaster—the deadliest in Greek history—opened this week but was immediately met with emotional protests. On March 23, the hearing was adjourned almost immediately after grieving relatives disrupted the court, shouting shame on you at officials. Families have publicly denounced the proceedings as a caricature of justice. There are widespread allegations of a government cover-up regarding the safety failures that led to the head-on collision. Recent polls suggest over 80% of Greeks lack faith in the judicial system's ability to uncover the full truth of the tragedy.
