On February 26, three years after the horrific train collision in Tempe, Greece that killed 57 people -- most of them students -- thousands of school and university students, together with their teachers, took to the streets in mass rallies held in many cities across Greece the Communist Party of Greece reports.
The youth demonstrations served as a precursor to the major strike mobilization called by Greek unions for Saturday February 28, marking the third anniversary of the crime. The strike will take place under the slogan “Their profits or our lives”, highlighting the relentless class struggle unfolding across the capitalist world.
In Athens, a large student rally was held in the centre of the city. Earlier, the youth march stopped outside the Ministry of Labour, where protesters unfurled a banner stating that in 2025, 201 workers lost their lives at work due to inadequate heath and safety measures.
