The tragic accident in Tempi caused the death of 57 people and the injury of dozens more. 

It was the deadliest railway accident to have occurred in Greece, a result of the systematic degradation of the railway network. The handling of the situation entrenched the feeling of abandonment and the emotions of anger towards the state authority, creating an unbridgeable gap.

Tempi became a milestone in modern Greek history. It acquired the characteristics of a catalyst that releases the accumulated dissatisfaction with the devaluation of life. The majority of society identified with the victims and their families, resulting in a collective demand for justice and massive participation in protests, causing tremors in the political system.

In this context, the collective edition approaches Tempi as an event that condenses historical time, and by providing research data combined with a plurality of analyses and opinions, contributes to a sober yet politically meaningful examination of the case.
