EU delegation in Athens to discuss increasing safety of Greek railways

EU flags at the European Central bank on half mast after the Greek railway accident

On the same day, teachers, students and civil servants went on strike in solidarity with the victims. Trams, metros and buses came to a stand still in many cities and railway employees also stayed at home.

Hm…:
Is “increased safety” sufficient and
is “accident” relevant?, etc.
Are both such, above, regrettably referred, prosa severely wrong and misleading?
Now, all “stones have to be lifted”, for safely learning – and for sustainably ensuring, that obvious, severe risks – primarily, not are excused… and thus maintained -simply “business as usual”!
(Media, indeed, at any report, tragic, etc., is responsible for correct “feed back”!…)
