In Athens, where thousands took to the streets again, flooding the city center with the momentum from the historic strike and the gigantic rallies of last Friday sent a deafening message of unyielding struggle, that it is the people who can put their stamp on developments.
Main slogans were “We are strengthening our struggle against the policy that creates “Tempes” for our lives. The crime in Tempe will not be covered up” condemning once again the crime-train crash at Tempe.

Τhe new, massive and impressive rally was the loudest “rebuke” of the government and the policies that serve the profits of business groups, that sacrifice the rights, needs and even the lives of the people and their children.
Before the speeches began, the demonstrators observed a minute’s silence in memory of the 57 people killed on the railway tracks.

“We are the voice of all the dead, the crime in Tempe will not be covered up”, “You count profits and damages, we count human lives”, “State – murderer, rotten society, it was not an accident, it was murder”.
After the rally PAME called for new demonstrations for Friday, March 7. In its Press Release PAME stated
AGAIN THE PEOPLE!
ALL AT THE RALLY FRIDAY 7 MARCH
We salute the hundreds of thousands of workers and youth, who responded to the call of the Regional Unions Centres, the Federations, the Trade Unions, the student associations and other bodies of the mass popular movement, who flooded Athens, Thessaloniki and other cities of Greece, again demanding
“THEIR PROFITS OR OUR LIVES”
Our decision is that this magnificent struggle must go all the way. The crime in Tempe will not be covered up, those who have criminal and political responsibilities will pay, no matter how high up they are. In this struggle we will put all our efforts. No matter what it takes, no matter what toil and sacrifice is required to ensure that we do not experience another Tempe.
It is the duty of all of us to fight for our children, for their future, for their dreams! To fight for our lives, which are being crushed, so that a handful of parasites of society get rich. We have confidence in the strength of the people’s thinking and organisation, who fight by putting their needs at the centre and are not intimidated by the parrots of the system and repression.
We call on all unions, workers, youth, all the people, on Friday to flood once again Athens, Thessaloniki and all the cities of Greece!
When the people are in the streets of struggle, in every moment of history, they have succeeded in huge accomplishments. And so it will be now!
RIVERS OF RAGE, HOPE AND OXYGEN
JUSTICE WILL BE DECIDED WITH THE PEOPLE IN THE STREETS!
With steadfastness, determination, greater momentum, organized and massification of our unions
