Thousands of striking transport workers, students and teachers started rallying in central Athens and in the northern city of Thessaloniki on Wednesday to protest over Greece's deadliest train disaster on record.
The disaster has led to protests across Greece with more than 10,000 people rallying in Athens on Sunday. Tens of thousands were gathering in Athens and Thessaloniki on Wednesday.
"We have an obligation towards our fellow humans and our colleagues who were lost in the tragic accident," the main railway workers union said in a statement. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has handed the portfolio to one of his closest aides, state minister George Gerapetritis, after the former transport minister resigned.
Greece sold its state-owned railway operator, now called Hellenic Train, to Italy's state-owned Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane in 2017 during its debt crisis. The sale was a term in the country's bailout agreements with the European Union and the Washington-based International Monetary Fund.
