Tempi
On February 28, 2025, in Syntagma Square, Greece, strikes and demonstrations occur related to the two-year anniversary of the Tempi train disaster. Maria Karystianou, the president of a group representing families of victims, holds a placard that reads ''I have no oxygen'' and takes to the podium, with the crowd interrupting her address by rhythmically shouting ''murderers.'' ''We move forward with a reverent commitment to truth and justice. Our pain spills over and becomes momentum. We realize the depth of this rot. Every day the specter of corrupt power appears before us. Unworthiness and dishonesty rule us. Those of us here today, either individually or collectively, bear the cost of an unjust and arrogant government; we experience the face of pervasive corruption. In the chaos in our hearts from the loss of our children, we discover forces we do not know exist. ''As mothers, we have a duty to protect our children's memory and the safety of other children - a union for catharsis. We can and will bring the miracle of justice to our country again. I address the murderers of our children. You insult and treat our dead with disrespect. You commit the greatest hubris and you will receive your due through nemesis. The divine river of truth has no turning back,'' she says. (Photo by Panayiotis Lamprou/NurPhoto)
