The group issued a statement declaring the attacks part of an “armed struggle against the state.”
National Tragedy and Public Outrage
The attack near Hellenic Train’s offices occurred just after the second anniversary of Greece’s worst railway disaster, which claimed 57 lives when a passenger and freight train collided.
The accident highlighted severe flaws in the country’s railway safety systems and triggered mass protests, especially from relatives of the victims, directed at the conservative government.
In the wake of the recent attacks, Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis has warned of a resurgence in domestic extremism, raising concerns about public safety and the potential for more violent acts.
