Última hora del accidente de trenes de Urda, Toledo, en directo | Feijóo acusa a Sánchez de “reducir todo el sistema ferroviario a un solo trabajador” y le pide que comparezca
Sánchez anuncia un “escudo de ayudas” para los afectados por el accidente | Illa apuesta por mantener la alta velocidad entre Barcelona y Madrid durante la remodelación | Identificadas 66 de las 69 personas fallecidas en el accidente de Urda
In the final moments of the Urda train accident, people witnessed the tragic event unfold live. Feijóo, leader of the Popular Party, accused the government of reducing the entire rail system to a single worker to blame for the disaster. He argued that it was the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, who needed to step forward in the Permanent Deputation of the Congress, rather than the Transport Minister, who would appear there the following day.
Sánchez, on the other hand, started his appearance at the World in Progress forum by remembering the victims of the Urda train accident and reiterating that the government's main obligation is to restore the "broken trust" among citizens regarding high-speed travel. He promised a "shield of aids" for the victims, which would be approved the next day at the Council of Ministers.
Meanwhile, Salvador Illa, the President of Catalonia, commented on the potential disruption of the AVE Madrid-Barcelona service during improvement works, and expressed his support for maintaining high-speed travel during the overhaul. The Institute of Legal and Forensic Medicine of Toledo and Ciudad Real identified 66 out of the 69 fatalities in the accident, according to data released yesterday by the Integrated Center of Data (CID).
