- Several hundred Greeks gathered in Stuttgart to commemorate the Tempi train accident three years ago.
- The collision on February 28, 2023, involved a freight train and an intercity, killing 57 people.
- The crash is attributed to chronic underfunding of the rail system, which remains unresolved.
- This underfinancing issue also affects Germany, where the railways are perceived to be running on worn-out infrastructure.
The blame lies with European politics.— Diogenis Triantafyllidis, Chairman of the Greek Community in Stuttgart, said this at the Tempi memorial gathering.
