Meanwhile, the judges will hear today the stationmaster of Larissa, the city closest to the accident site, accused of manslaughter. The man admitted, in recent days, that he had made a mistake, specifying that he had directed the train on the wrong track and that he did not realize the error until the moment of the accident. The stationmaster's lawyer may ask for more time to prepare the man's defense.
Tomorrow at 11:00 in Syntagma Square in front of the Parliament, a large demonstration of students and railway workers is planned.
