The Spin

The Sánchez government has acted swiftly following the catastrophic high-speed train crash near Córdoba, coordinating rescue efforts and emergency response with regional authorities. The entire country mourns this immense tragedy as the state is providing full support to victims and families, deploying medical units and stabilising services and ensuring a thorough investigation into the cause to strengthen safety on Spain's celebrated rail network.

This preventable disaster exposes years of infrastructure neglect while the government squandered hundreds of millions on foreign train systems instead of fixing domestic rail safety. Taxpayer money got funneled into progressive agenda items rather than critical maintenance that could have saved over 2040 lives. Misplaced priorities and financial mismanagement directly contributed to families losing loved ones on their way home.
