The Senate investigative committee on the situation of the railway network formally began this Tuesday with the constitutive session, in which PP and PSOE have closed the distribution of the positions of the Bureau of the body, which will be headed by the 'popular' Francisco Martín Bernabé Pérez.
This investigation body was announced by the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, following the railway accidents registered in Adamuz (Córdoba) and Gélida (Barcelona). After its official constitution, the parliamentary commission will begin its work in the coming weeks.
With its absolute majority in the Upper House, the PP will also control the first vice-presidency, which Laureano León Rodríguez will hold, as well as the first secretaryship, which will fall to Juan Pablo Martín.
The PSOE, for its part, has obtained the second vice-presidency, which María Jesús Álvarez González will assume, and the second secretariat, for which Alfonso García Rodríguez has been designated.
The composition of the Bureau has been approved by assent. However, PNV senator Dolores Etxano has asked to intervene to place on record her abstention.
Once this procedure has been overcome, the newly elected president of the commission has intervened to emphasize the "enormous responsibility" that he assumes before the citizenry with the start of this work plan.
In the same way, Martín Bernabé has assured that "there will be no issue that remains untreated, fact, uninvestigated, question unasked nor, of course, appearing party to declare".
"I believe it is our commitment to the truth, to justice and, above all, to the victims of the accidents, and that it must be everyone's commitment that it be fulfilled until the end," the president of the commission has insisted.
