(ANSA-AFP) - ATHENS, FEB 28 - Workers across Greece were set to strike on Wednesday to demand answers a year after the nation's deadliest train crash, which killed 57 people and injured dozens more. The head-on collision prompted mourning but also days of angry protests that blamed official failings and an unsafe rail system for the fiery crash on February 28, 2023. A definitive account of what happened and who may be at fault has not been delivered, with investigators in an official enquiry not due to finish questioning until March 8. "One year on, we are back on the streets to shout that we do not forget," said civil servants' union Adedy. "Those responsible for the tragedy have still not answered for their criminal acts." Greek civil servants were to stage a 24-hour walkout with other unions, including air traffic controllers, taxi drivers and public transport workers, who are also protesting at the high cost of living.
