A disaster that only has one solution
The terrible tragedy caused by the collision of two trains on the same track at Urda (Toledo), which leaves a provisional toll of 69 dead, must be the final episode of the disastrous stage of Óscar Puente at the head of the Ministry of Transport.
A train collision in Urda, Toledo, has resulted in 69 fatalities. The Spanish Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, has requested an appearance in Congress to explain the incident, but opposition parties are calling for his resignation. The accident is attributed to multiple deficiencies in the high-speed rail network, including a lack of investment in maintenance, with incidents increasing by 142% since 2018. The government's failure to approve a budget for over 1,000 days has hindered investments in rail infrastructure.
