“There was already an atmosphere of discontent and tension that has now reached its peak” over the tragedy, Vasiliki, a 32-year-old teacher who describes the policies adopted by recent governments in the transport sector as “criminal” told EFE.
The government of the Conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis initially defended the thesis that the accident was due to human error and so far, four railroad workers have been charged, including a stationmaster who put a passenger train and a freight train on the same track, eventually leading to a collision.
Faced with pressure on the street, Mitsotakis eventually apologized and acknowledged the lack of security systems in large parts of the rail network, such as the section where the accident occurred.
In fact, since 2014, the execution of the contract funded by the European Union for the improvement of the signaling system and the installation of a remote control system in this section has been delayed.
A few days after the accident, it emerged that the Greek government ignored warnings raised by the opposition and trade unions about security problems on the railway network in the weeks before the incident.
In addition to the pressure in the streets, Mitsotakis has faced a drop in his New Democracy party’s poll results ahead of an election likely to take place on May 21, which now gives him just three points from the left-wing SYRIZA, half the lead it had before accidents.
