Thousands of demonstrators staged fresh protests in Greece on Sunday as anger grows over the country's deadliest rail crash, ratcheting up pressure on the government over the tragedy.
On Sunday about 12,000 demonstrators gathered outside parliament while 5,000 took to the streets of the second city Thessaloniki, police said.
Another demonstrator, 26-year-old Alexandros, added: "We're getting desperate. You don't know what to say, what to do—all you can do is join the protest." He has come under fire for initially pointing to "human error" for the accident, and blaming the stationmaster on duty at the time who allegedly routed the trains onto the same stretch of track by accident.The stationmaster is among the four railway officials who have been charged.
