Greek Youth Demand Change After Deadly Train Crash Ahead of Elections

The deadly train collision in Greece has sparked outrage and galvanized the country's youth to participate in massive demonstrations across the country, believed to be the biggest since the anti-austerity riots in 2010. The tragedy seems to have struck a chord with the country's youth because many of the train passengers were students returning home after a long holiday weekend. The rail crash marks a defining moment for Greece's Generation Z and young millennials, who are disillusioned over limited educational and professional opportunities in the country, working conditions, and gender inequality. The current disillusionment with the political establishment is "extremely dangerous" because it could give rise to far-right fringe parties.
