There has been a tectonic shift in the public opinion in Greece and it is manifested itself in huge protests over the Tempe train collision in which 57 people died in a fire which appears to have been caused by a flammable liquid loaded onto a cargo train either legally or illegally.

Tens of thousands of protesters have rallied outside Greece’s parliament in Athens to demand justice for the victims of the country’s worst railway disaster nearly two years ago.
Sunday’s demonstration, one of the biggest to be held in the capital in recent years, came days after after local media released an audio recording suggesting that some of the 57 victims might have survived the collision but died in a fire of yet unknown origin that burned for more than an hour following the crash.
"Our voice says one thing: no crime will go unpunished, ever again,” she said. “Let the crime at Tempe be the beginning and justice is served, as it should be, because that’s what the entire society wants.”

Representatives of ERT workers had previously condemned the broadcaster’s “shameful tactics” after dedicating only two-and-a-half minutes to the protests, aired 37 minutes into the noon news bulletin. ERT management denied the allegations, maintaining that the coverage was in line with editorial guidelines.
