“The country and its citizens need clear horizons,” Mitsotakis told the cabinet. “National elections…will be held on Sunday 21 May,” he said.The train tragedy, exactly one month ago, sparked a wave of protests against his conservative government, some of them violent. On February 28, a passenger train and a freight train collided head-on after running on the same track for several kilometres.The stationmaster on duty during the crash has been placed on pretrial detention on charges of endangering public transport and negligent homicide.Three other railway officials — two other stationmasters and a shift supervisor — have also been charged in connection with the disaster.

Members of the prime minister’s own cabinet, prominent businessmen and journalists were also under surveillance in a separate operation involving illegal spying software called Predator, according to reports.
