Fifty-seven chairs with red carnations stood empty in front of Ministry of transportation, sending his own eloquent message to those involved in last week’s deadly train accident. Thus ended yesterday’s student protest march, responding to the call of the Progressive Left Student Network. The protest march of the Piraeus Student Coordinating Committee was also large-scale, with students from Piraeus and neighboring areas taking part, supported by teachers, the local OLME, who announced a halt to accompany the students on the march. The teenagers met near the Municipal Theater of Piraeus and traversed the entire city, shouting slogans expressing their regret and indignation. βIt was not the right time, this was the wrong country β take me when you arrive,β read the central banner. The student march passed through Pasalimani and near ISAP Piraeus they stopped and honored the memory of the victims with a moment of silence. A little further, at the Prigorodny railway station, young protesters left flowers and wrapped black cloth around the entrance.
It was preceded by a mass protest on Sunday in Syntagma, which was attended by people of all ages, from elementary school students to students and workers. The organizers say about 15,000 people. The peaceful demonstration ended ingloriously, with masked groups throwing Molotov cocktails and the police “responding” with chemicals. Many participants condemn the reckless use of force by the police.
“Ruchnik” tomorrow on buses and trolleybuses, while decisions are waiting on the metro, trams, ISAP.
For tomorrow has already been announced strikes and protest marches by workers and students demanding that those responsible for the accident be held accountable. ADEDY turns the Women’s Day shutdown into a general mobilization. Trade union organizations one after another declare that they will “listen” to the Constitution. Among them are the Hellenic Teaching Federation (IOE), OLME, the Athens Work Center, the Greek Federation of Associations of Hospital Physicians, etc. The spearhead is the Tempi accident, but at the same time the trade unions condemn the content of the multi-purpose bill, which concerns, among others, the Center for Pediatric Oncology and EYDAP. Meanwhile, protest marches by student unions and other groups across the country are scheduled for Wednesday, from Florina to Kefalonia and Arcadia.
Buses and trolleybuses in Attica will pull the handbrake tomorrow, while trains and commuter trains will remain in place (until Wednesday).
