Accidente de trenes en Toledo: última hora y reacciones en directo | Urda celebra una misa funeral para despedir a las víctimas de la tragedia
Los vecinos del pueblo desbordan la iglesia | Baja a 34 la cifra de heridos que continúan hospitalizados en Castilla-La Mancha por el accidente de Urda
A funeral mass was held in Toledo on Saturday to bid farewell to the victims of a train accident that occurred on Wednesday, claiming at least 69 lives. The small parish in the town struggled to accommodate the crowd, with dozens of residents attending and those unable to enter watching the ceremony outside, visibly moved by the proceedings.
At least two individuals fainted during the event. Castilla-La Mancha's President, Emiliano García-Page, called upon Spaniards to "stand together in sorrow" for the victims, highlighting the solidarity shown in donating blood or contributing in other ways. The number of injured individuals still hospitalized in Castilla-La Mancha's hospitals due to the accident has decreased to 34, five fewer than the day before, according to regional government sources.
Politically, the governing Popular Party criticized Transport Minister Óscar Puente for seeking a "Turkish head" to blame for the accident, while the Broad Front demands his resignation as the "essential first step."
