Greece PM Promise Transperancy Over Train Crash

Greek prosecutors on Thursday charged three more railway officials in connection with the country’s worst train crash that killed 57 people, as the prime minister vowed absolute transparency in the probe into the tragedy. Public anger has soared since the February 28 head-on collision in central Greece, with tens of thousands demonstrating nationwide on Wednesday.

With anger growing at long-running mismanagement of the rail network, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis opened his first cabinet meeting since the crash by vowing absolute transparency in the investigation to uncover errors.

They waved banners that read Its not an accident, its a crime and It could have been any of us on that train as clashes erupted in Athens and Greece’s second city Thessaloniki.

The cabinet meeting was the first since the accident and a period of national mourning. Later Thursday, a religious ceremony will take place at the crash site in memory of the victims.
