The worst rail accident in Greece’s history is starting to hurt Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis as he gears up for a general election this year.
Citizens took to the streets last week in the biggest protest in a decade after a devastating train crash on the line from Athens to Thessaloniki killed 57 people. A first poll since the accident hints at a possible dent in Mitsotakis’s support among voters with questions raised over the state’s ability to run and upgrade the rail network.
