Juanma Moreno expresses his support for the victims of the Adamuz train accident

The president of the Regional Government of Andalusia, Juanma Moreno, traveled to Adamuz (Córdoba) following the serious train accident that occurred on Sunday, January 18, which left 39 dead, 48 hospitalized —five of them children—, and one patient in the ICU. Moreno expressed his concern about the evolution of the victim toll, stating: "We fear the number of fatalities will increase," and stressed the need to thoroughly analyze what happened so that a tragedy of these dimensions does not happen again.

The Andalusian president thanked the coordination of all the **public services involved**, from healthcare teams to emergency services, and defended the safety of the railway infrastructure: "**Traveling by train is safe. High-speed rail is safe. Let's not be afraid of trains**." For his part, **Juanma Moreno** ruled out any confrontation with the Government and emphasized coordination: "**I am in contact with Sánchez and Puente, and we are doing our best**."Moreno stated that efforts are underway to **remove the crashed trains as soon as possible**, which will allow for an assessment of the exact scale of the accident. He also conveyed his **solidarity and condolences to the affected families**, especially to those who still do not know the situation of their loved ones. He also affirmed that **some of the deceased will need to undergo DNA testing for full identification**, given the condition of the trains after the crash.

The accident occurred around 7:45 PM, when an Iryo 6189 train, with about 300 passengers on board and traveling the Málaga–Puerta de Atocha route, derailed upon entering the Adamuz station, invading the adjacent track where another train bound for Huelva was running, which also derailed. As a consequence, 152 people were injured, of whom five are in very serious condition, 24 are seriously injured, and 123 have injuries of varying severity, all of whom were treated in health centers in the region.
