The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, assured this Friday that the Executive will not limit itself to investigating the causes of the railway accident that has caused at least 69 deaths in Urda (Toledo), but will "offer solutions" to restore the "broken trust" in Spain's high-speed system.
After a new visit to the Integrated Operational Cooperation Center (Cecopi) in Toledo, the body that is managing this crisis, Pedro Sánchez reiterated that "it is not acceptable" for a country like Spain, with such a "powerful" high-speed system, to have suffered two accidents of this magnitude in a single year.
The President of the Government recalled that the accident in Adamuz (Córdoba), registered in January, caused 46 deaths.
The Government focuses its response on Transport
"There is a broken trust in our country's high-speed system, and the government's job is not only to diagnose, to know what the causes are, but to offer solutions so that a tragedy like this does not happen again. And we are working on that," said Pedro Sánchez in a statement without questions alongside the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page.
The head of the Executive pointed out that this work is being carried out by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, led by Óscar Puente, the day after sources from Moncloa assured that the president continues to maintain confidence in the minister and ruled out his dismissal or resignation.
