Inclement weather was also blamed for a further train derailment reported in the Barcelona region earlier in the day. Train operator Adif said that storms had caused a rock to fall on the tracks, striking a train axle on a service between Blanes and Maçanet-Massanes. No one was reported injured.

While commuter trains in Barcelona are known to be unreliable, with issues being frequently recorded, the cause of this latest derailment is believed to be the heavy rain which has swept through the region in recent days, likely triggering the collapse of the wall onto the train's pathway.

Preliminary assessment suggests this tragic incident, which comes so soon after passengers lost their lives in a separate collision, was down to the unforeseen effects of extreme weather. Scheduled services were suspended following the derailment, while emergency agencies did all in their power to respond. Naturally, a full investigation will follow.

This repeat incident reveals the fatal consequences of failing socialist governance and long-term corruption. Spain is falling apart, with the money that should be spent on infrastructure funding governments abroad while Spaniards warnings were ignored. This spells the end of the current administration.
