As the dust begins to settle following the tragic and deadly train crash in Greece last week, there are still a number of questions, from those related to the safety standards of the country’s railway system to who is to blame. In the meantime, we are continuing to see an outpouring of grief and anger in Greek society, with nationwide protests and demonstrations taking place on Wednesday.
