Greek parliament votes to probe a former minister over a rail crash.

Greece’s parliament on Thursday voted to investigate former Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis from the ruling New Democracy party over his role in the country's deadliest rail crash.

The crash killed 57 people in February 2023.

The government last year dismissed a call from the European prosecutor to take action regarding potential misappropriation by the same minister.

The people of #Greece are out in the streets again today, demanding a very simple thing:

#Justice

For 57 dead souls.

57 deaths that - apparently - no official has had any responsibility for.

Heavy cop presence in downtown Athens today as protests over the lack of accountability or explanations or actions to improve the infrastructure continue after the train disaster two years ago that killed 57 people.

Bei der Pylos-Schiffskatastrophe und dem Abhörskandal kam es in #Griechenland nicht zu Großdemonstrationen. Warum ist das jetzt, im Falle #Tempi, anders? Wie reagieren Regierung und Opposition?

«Μπορούμε να ζητάμε καλύτερα μέτρα ασφαλείας από τους ιδιώτες, όπως ο Τολστόι έγραφε γράμμα στον Τσάρο για να του ζητήσει να καταργήσει την ατομική ιδιοκτησία, αλλά δεν θα πόνταρα εκεί.»

A quite a bit more involved #ModularSynth meander. I'm not sure what I think of the results, but the journey was at least very educational, especially concerning using the #MakeNoise #Rene and #Tempi together.
