Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has apologized to the families of victims of the train crash that left 57 dead and sparked immense anger in Greece.
"As Prime Minister, I owe everyone, but especially the relatives of the victims, to ask forgiveness," he wrote in a message addressed to the Greeks and posted on his Facebook account.
“In 2023 Greece, it is not possible for two trains to travel in opposite directions on the same line and not be noticed by anyone.”
