Iran Press/Europe: The crash between passenger and freight trains near the city of Larissa on Tuesday has sparked widespread outrage across Greece.
Protests broke out in Greece on Sunday over a deadly train collision which claimed the lives of 57 people. The protests have been reported despite an apology from Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
In a statement, Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis said "we cannot, will not, and must not hide behind human error," as per the CNN report. In a statement issued on Sunday, Mitsotakis stressed that it should not be possible for two trains moving in opposite directions "to be on the same track and not be noticed by anyone."
The Greek Transport Minister had resigned after the train collision. Greek Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis said the railway system inherited by the government is "not up to 21st century standards" as he resigned from his post. 219
