Greek public sector workers staged a 24-hour strike to mark the one-year anniversary of a deadly train crash that killed 57 people, demanding justice and larger pay rises amid rising living costs. The strike halted rail services, disrupted urban transport in Athens, and affected shipping in the region. The train crash, which occurred a year prior, resulted in nationwide protests and mass criticism of the rail sector's neglect. The government has promised to reform the railway system to ensure safety, but safety systems are still not fully operational.
