28.2.2023. The day 57 people died in the accident in Tempe. Evdokia Tsagli will not stop the fight for justice.
Today is not like any other day. Who hasn't woken up numb? Upset? Angry? The page of February 28, 2023 was written with the blood of 57 people who so unjustly lost their lives when the Intercity passenger train they were on collided with the commercial one. From the tragedy to Tempe another 180 were injured and to this day they are trying to recover either from their injuries or from the scenes they lived through which haunt them.
For 12 minutes the two trains were running on the same line. 12 minute countdown. A conflict that also revealed the many problems of the Greek railway network, of which we were all completely unaware, and which still exist to this day. Not only has nothing changed, but the families of the victims and the passengers themselves are still trying to find justice.
Evdokia Tsagli was in the second carriage. Speaking to Provocateur, he explained what he really believes that justice will come, as long as we all believe it. “Someone will say that believing in justification is like hoping for a miracle. But miracles do happen».
There are scenes he relives from the fateful night, as he explains. “Getting off the train I could not realize what had happened. When I was inside, I was thinking “it's impossible, what can happen on a train”. It took me a while to realize and feel the magnitude of the disaster».
