The national leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, participated this Saturday in a rally in the Plaza de España in Calatayud, Zaragoza, where he stated, in a highly populist and ultra tone, that "Spain has urgent needs and Aragon has urgent needs," and warned that "Spain cannot wait" because, in his opinion, it is "held hostage by a corrupt, treasonous mafia that is an enemy of Spain's interests."

And as Vox already did from the first day the railway tragedy in Adamuz became known, **Abascal, using the railway accident to gain political advantage, has recalled "the 45 victims of the railway accident," to which he has linked corruption, and has denounced the deterioration of infrastructure, assuring that he will demand accountability for what happened.**

In this context, the leader of Vox has railed against political leaders, assuring that funds intended for public services such as healthcare, education, and the maintenance of the railway network "have been diverted to corruption," something that, he stated, "cannot be forgiven." In this regard, he maintained that those who should have guaranteed passenger safety are responsible for the deterioration of the service and, therefore, for the deaths of 45 people, emphasizing that his party "will not remain silent" and will point out those responsible.

Likewise, Abascal has wondered “how it is possible that we have been enduring this mafia for six years” and has attributed the situation to bipartisanship. Specifically, he has accused the Popular Party of acting as an “oxygen tank” for Pedro Sánchez's Government through pacts in Brussels, institutional agreements, and a collaboration that, as he has denounced, has been ongoing “for 40 years.”
