Mass mobilizations of pupils and students took place today (7 February) throughout Greece. Under the slogan "I have no more oxygen" – heard by the victims shortly after the accident and shortly before they died – thousands of young people took to the streets to demonstrate in memory of their peers, who perished so prematurely and so unjustly.
