Main issue is to block the attempt to cover up the crime and the responsibilities of the private company, as well as all relevant authorities, so that the murderous crime, the train crash does not pass into oblivion.

The huge, peaceful rally was attacked by police forces with tear gas, flash grenades etc, in a huge crowd with thousands of little children.
PAME denounced the attack stating
“We denounce the staged and blatant attack of the repressive forces with riot police, who attempted to overshadow the great attended by tens of thousands of workers and young people.
All the government has shown is its fear in the face of the popular outcry for the crime especially today, the day when several victims of the crime in Larissa are buried.
The workers-people’s movement will respond to the repression and to all state-controlled mechanisms.”

In every workplace from tomorrow onwards, the discussions in the shifts, during breaks, with meetings, general assemblies, the gates of the factories and the doors of the companies should be covered with banners, our grief and anger should become the voice of the dead, so that the crime is not forgotten.
